President George W Bush announced Wednesday that the US military was heading for Georgia to deliver humanitarian aid, establishing an American presence in the region and sending a clear signal to Russia that it is time for the conflict to end. The first C-17 cargo plane landed late Wednesday in Georgia, and more planes and US Navy vessels were on the way to provide food, medicine and other supplies in a ''vigorous and ongoing'' effort to demonstrate ''solidarity'' with the Georgian people, Mr Bush said.
