题目

be in = be with?
De Hoop Sheffer said he and the NATO ambassadors of all 26 allies were in the ex-Soviet republic wanted "to show solidarity with its people,to show that we stand by them as they work to reshape their country and take their proper place in the European and Euro-Atlantic community."
显然北约大使不可能都在格鲁吉亚,应该是和格鲁吉亚站在一起,为什么就直接用了be in?
还有wanted,按后面的意思,主语应该是he and NATO ambassadors 怎么能直接就这么用,前面应该有个and才对吧.要不然应该用wanting,或者加个逗号也行.跟在the ex-Soviet republic后面应该是过去分词做定语,但显然意思不对.这种用法语法应该怎么解释?前面有一个系动词了,没有连接词的话不应该再有谓语动词.
回grantxu2000，这么解释语法对，但意思不对。to show that we stand by them as they work to reshape their country 显然是站在De Hoop Sheffer的立场上说的。
