WASHINGTON (AFP) – Democratic Senator Joseph Biden, who has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential running mate for White House hopeful Barack Obama, said on Saturday he would visit Georgia this weekend.
Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said he had been asked to go to Georgia by President Mikheil Saakashvili for talks over the conflict with Russia.
"I am going to Georgia this weekend to get the facts first-hand and to show my support for Georgia's people and its democratically-elected government," said Biden in a statement.
"I look forward to reporting to my colleagues in the Senate and on the Foreign Relations Committee, as well as the administration, about what I learn."
Biden said that he would also meet Prime Minister Lado Gurgenidze and US ambassador to Georgia John Tefft.

Probably he has a “ceasefire treaty” plagiarized from Sarkozy with him.
So Biden’s going to Atlanta?
Hair plugs.
We have a State Department for a reason. This a**hole needs to butt out and right now.
What are the chances that Russia will claim him as their own?
Idiots and morons taking the stage. This fool does not represent the US. PULL HIS VISA!
DelMarVa PING -— to a “Hair Plugs” story.
Every time this dingbat makes the news my husband, who ison this ping list, never fails to remind me that I am the one that made him hit the brake when Joe stepped out in front of our vehicle some 12+ or so years ago.
Sorry folks, the choice was Biden in the Senate or my husband in jail.........it was a no brainer for me.
No, tweak his hair plugs./Just Asking - seoul62.......
This might work!
The Russians might do anything, even surrender, just to get him the hell out of there.
Was it worth it? I mean was it reallllly worth it??? hehehe
You know that Biden did this to enhance his foreign policy portfolio in order to increase his chances as the VP pick. Obama needs a senior dem with those credentials in an area where he is weak. Local radio chatter thinks Biden has moved up the VP list today.
Biden can't get through a 5 minute press conference without saying something stupid.
I remember when he said he likes to get frisky with the wife while the kids are asleep....and his kids were in their 20's at the time.
Who (besides Biden) even thinks that? Biden's freakin creepy if you ask me.
