McCain Offers Support for Georgians

"He knows that the thoughts and the prayers and support of the American people are with that brave little nation as they struggle today for their freedom and independence. And he wanted me to say thank you to you, to give you, to give you his heartfelt thanks for the support of the American people for his tiny little democracy far away from the Unites States of America. And I told him that I know I speak for every American when I say to him, 'Today, we are all Georgians.'" In referencing Russia's prime minister, Vladimir Putin, McCain said the following: "I looked into Mr. Putin's eyes and I saw three things- a K and a G and a B."
