Georgia ? Vice President Dick Cheney, visiting here Thursday, pledged continued U.S. support for Georgia and said the Kremlin’s military actions in the country last month had “cast grave doubt on Russia’s intentions and on its reliability as an international partner.”

“America will help Georgia rebuild and regain its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies,” he said after a meeting with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili.

Cheney was the highest-ranking U.S. official to come here since war broke out last month and Russian troops entered the separatist regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, then moved on to occupy undisputed areas of Georgia.
