Did U.S. officials know about Georgia's plans to attack its breakaway region? The issue deserves a special hearing in the U.S. Congress, according to American political commentator Pat Buchanan.
“Georgia started the war – Saakashvili started the war – there's no doubt about that. The Russians knew he was coming because they were prepared clearly and acted immediately. The question is, did Condoleezza Rice know he was going to do this and did the president who was in Beijing know he was going to do this?” said Buchanan.
