Q And what's the consequences of that?

MR. JOHNDROE: Well, I think the first goal is to get them to honor their commitments. We need to see the Russian troops withdraw from Georgia in accordance with the agreement that they have signed. That's the first goal. So we are concentrating on that right now.

There will be further consequences to Russia's action, there's no doubt about it. But Russia has already, I think, begun to suffer some of the consequences of their actions. And their continued reluctance to adhere to the withdrawal plan only further isolates them.

Yes, sir.
