The US is training the Georgian army to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan. The State Department says the first group of American troops will arrive in Tbilisi within several days.
According to US Assistant Secretary of State Philip Crowley, the Georgian government will contribute an infantry brigade to Afghanistan for service under the US command in the International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF.
“Some marines will be arriving in Georgia beginning on August 15 to implement a training program that will commence on September 1,” Crowley said.
American officials say training should not worry the Kremlin, because it would not be used against Russia.
However, the Russian Foreign Ministry says Georgia has recently received too much military help from the US.
According to Moscow, Washington continues to supply the Georgian army with weaponry.
The new American military mission starts work one year after Georgia launched an assault against South Ossetia in which Georgian troops used, predominantly, American military hardware.

US “government spends money on things that most don’t think are worthy”“Political pressure in this country [USA] right now is not going to allow for Congress or the White House to purchase anything that comes with a big price tag,” says David Drucker, a writer at Roll Call Newspaper. |

Gibson to sing a duet with Russian loverWell-known director and actor Mel Gibson turned out to be more than generous. He not only signed his Russian girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, to his record label Icon Records, but also intends to sing some songs in duet. |
To insure the NATOs cover for the future aggressions against South Ossetia and Abkhazia the Georgian dictator successes in starting another very dangerous adventure that is the treat to the WORLD PEACE. His neoconed puppeteers have lobbied this wish in the US and NATO for many month and won. Such symbolic number of Georgian troops (750) will make no difference in a difficult and bloody Afghan war, but Georgian warmonger will become a partner of NATOs countries which fight in the Afghanistan. This would give him right to demand support when he again chooses to attack South Ossetia and Abkhazia, newly independent and protected by Russia. Georgian tyrant also paying back a token by trading the Georgians lives for a billion dollars initially awarded to him by Bush after his brutal attack on South Ossetia and Russian peacekeepers in August 2008. This prize was recently confirmed by Joe Biden, who chooses to act like Dick Cheney regarding Georgian madmen. Georgian autocrat may attack S Ossetia or Abkhazia, like last year, and, as propaganda stunt, he will ask NATO to fly back his small and not inessential contingent to fight another " Russian Aggression." He'll silence already very repressed opposition and Neocons will be happy to muck Russia in order to restart another Cold War or worst. This grimy and useless partnership in the Afghan war will give Saakashvili a huge advantage in his provocations against the peace not only in the Caucasus, but in the whole World, since once again he will try to put the nuclear powers into the real war .
Well said Mark4915...First of all, 9/11 was a inside job-well known (by material evidence) to all honest and normal people in the world. Usa,England,Australia,Canada,New Zeland acting as "independent" states trying to manipulate world but in fact are ONE state by policy.All conected by blood(family) and with genocide commited in those lands.A so call "coalition of the willing" act as one United (hiden state) club and fight together wars all the time!Usa,England,Canada use Nato, as a tool to protect and folow policy of those 5 states.Nato is a trojan horse in Europe making imposible for a peacefull new united Europe(with Russia)to happend.By making war in Afganistan(many more to come with fake reasons) they take attention and time from all Europeans(and world) to see a much better policy for themself. Georgia (as many others) are just a followers for they own domestic purpose(power , money and status of"democracy"-Shaakashvili-Yustcenko,etc case) and nobody ask people.By puting(and keeping them)their" profile democrats" in power they manipulate all nations. By pointing in wrong side all the time, this club survive 100 of years,without been punishment and without return of stolen property(land)- with world at sleep without asking themself who are those "new" states?Where are gone native people from those lands witch live 40-50000 years in peace before English arive?Israeli and Palestine case is their own recordet film from the past. It shall be clear now to any honest person in world - those blood brothers in biggest genocide ever known in human memory, are the ONLY REASON why we dont have a peace in this world! If you didnt know-now you do know! Thanke you....
Come on Ivan step away from the vodka bottle. No Sane person belives that 9/11 was a inside job. Purdue proved that. You only want to get to the gas line going though the county. Ask the Poles, Hungarians and Checks if they trust the Russians
