It's coming true my predictions from two years ago that the US will be going after Azerbaijan. Cheney now confirms what King Georgie's US's intentions are before they 'might' leave office. When Cheney speaks, I listen. He will be going to the Caucasus Region and that simply spells more trouble for us that means more conflicts on the near horizon... inching closer to another world war.

US confronts Russia as Cheney flags 'deep' interest in ex-Soviet zones
September 4, 2008

BAKU (AFP) - The United States and Russia squared off Wednesday as Vice President Dick Cheney said Washington had a "deep" interest in the ex- Soviet Caucasus, a key energy corridor he said must be developed.

Moscow meanwhile suspended visas for Georgian citizens and said it would pull troops out of Georgia only when a French-brokered peace plan was fully implemented.

Speaking in the oil-rich former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan, Cheney said: "President Bush has sent me here with the clear and simple message for the people of Azerbaijan and the entire region.

"The United States has a deep and abiding interest in your wellbeing and security."

Cheney, the most senior US official to visit the Caucasus region since Russia and Georgia fought a brief war last month, said access to energy resources there and in Central Asia was a top concern for Washington.

"Energy security is essential to us all and the matter is becoming increasingly urgent," Cheney said after meeting Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

"Together with the nations of Europe, including Turkey, we must work with Azerbaijan and other countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia on additional routes for energy exports that ensure the free flow of resources," he said.

US officials simultaneously announced a one billion-dollar (690 million-euro) aid package for Georgia following the conflict with Russia .

Cheney's comments came a day after Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sealed a new Central Asian gas pipeline deal in Uzbekistan.

They were a clear signal that Washington did not intend to allow Moscow to regain the unchallenged control over the politics and natural resources of the Caucasus and Central Asian regions.

....oh shit.....

WTF are they up to? Where will this money come from?

Do you know, right now, we have our own citizens who become disabled WAITING 1 1/2 to 2 years to get their Social Security Disability started.(I am one) This administration has raided the SS Trust Fund.

Folk that are missing limbs are being told they can work and therefore denied. Most of these people end up having to file bankruptcy.(If they can afford to) Vets waiting for or being denied services. And they are going to give a BILLION away.


WTF is going on?

It's the continuation of Cheney's Crusade SuF. They don't sweat the money part of it. There's plenty of the people's programs to steal it from.

It's in the best interest for the nation, you do understand right?

Listen, if Obama becomes president, there will be one HUGE left over King's tab for his administration to pick up and pay off while the Repigs scream how much it's Obama's fault that he's raising our taxes so much. Yes, even when Obama hits the big corp bull with taxes, those hits will be passed down to the consumer. As Obama tries to save many of the people's programs, he'll have to raise taxes and fees to pay for those too. As the King's wars continue to spread even if the King does leave office, well..... we have to pay for that too. Don't ya just love this growing Democracy?!!!

This is one of the reasons I respect this man as much as I do.

Think about it, It is going to take a hell of a person to come in behind these clowns and try to set things right. Anybody that would have the guts to tackle that job, that has and enunciates a plan for recovery gets props from me.

As of yet, I have not heard a single McSame spot that tells us what he wants to do. He has spent millions telling us not to believe our lying eyes about Obama.

Any surprise that Cheney is hogging the oil action in the Caucasus?

Cheney, whose trip comes in the shadow of the recent fighting between Russia and Georgia, is also due to visit Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, and Ukraine as part of a tour of the Caucasus.

The vice president said that the US believed it must work with Azerbaijan on increasing energy export routes out of the country.

He said: "The United States strongly believes that together with the nations of Europe, including Turkey, we must work with Azerbaijan and other countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia on additional routes for energy exports that ensure the free flow of resources."
