President Bush chided Russia for their continued military activity in Georgia, while Russia blames the Georgian media. Here is part of a BBC report on President Bush's UN address:
"The United Nations charter sets forth the equal rights of nations large and small. Russia's invasion of Georgia was a violation of those words."
Mr Bush's comments came hours after Georgia said it had shot down a Russian reconnaissance drone flying over its territory.
It said the unmanned plane was downed south of its de facto border with the breakaway region of South Ossetia.
Russia dismissed the claim as a "media provocation by Georgia".
We would all like the claim about the unmanned plane to be a media ploy by Georgia, but something tells me it's not. When will Russia understand the term sovereignty?
