EU wants to know exactly, who started war in georgia. The Europeans see Chenys quick oil tour, deciding Georgia / Ukraine NATO members, as not very helpfull. A state in a war like situation like Georgia can not be member of NATO; would create War in Europe. Cheney scared the Europeans, not even discussing with EU NATO extension, he is no longer cosidered as serious partner, his intentions have no impact, he is leaving the Scene. The EU decided to make contacts to both followers McCain or Obama for close common decisson making in front of a new multipolar world order.

(AVIGNON) - EU foreign ministers stepped up calls on Saturday for an independent inquiry into the outbreak of the Russia-Georgia conflict as they met for talks on the crisis in southern France.

"I am absolutely in favour," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, whose country holds the European Union presidency, told reporters on the second day of the meeting in Avignon.

"We need to know what happened. The most fantastic -- as well as real -- numbers were circulating -- 1,000, 2,000 dead, who started things, what kind of provocations there were, at what point and for how long, what was prepared on either side," Kouchner said.

Luxembourg's Jean Asselborn said the ministers "would like to see an analysis by an international body to define the responsibility for the outbreak of the conflict."

"There is unanimity on this question," he told reporters at the huge gothic Palace of the Popes, where the meetings were held.

In an interview Friday with a German newspaper, their German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the international community "does not lack the institutions" to carry out an independent inquiry, naming the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
