The U.S. military has nearly completed the airlift of 2,000 Georgian soldiers from Iraq to Georgia but is providing no other military assistance to Georgian forces, the Pentagon said Monday. Spokesman Bryan Whitman said Georgian troops were moved out of Iraq in U.S. military flights over the weekend, and that the redeployment should be completed on Monday. “The support we are providing right now is in the form of transportation of their troops back from Iraq, " said Whitman. “We are fulfilling our agreement with the Georgian government that in an emergency we will assist them in redeploying their troops. We are honoring that commitment.”
