TBILISI, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Russia's pullout of troops from Georgia is "far too little, far too slow", a top U.S. general said on Friday.

"The information I have is that if they are moving, it's at a snail's pace - far too little, far too slow," General John Craddock, the head of the U.S. European Command, told reporters in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi.

"It needs to increase," he said. (Reporting by David Brunnstrom, editing by Guy Faulconbridge)
