Pipeline Geopolitics and the New Cold War: The Real Truth
The Eurasian Corridor: Pipeline Geopolitics and the New Cold War
by Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, August 22, 2008
The ongoing crisis in the Caucasus is intimately related to the strategic control over energy pipeline and transportation corridors.
There is evidence that the Georgian attack on South Ossetia on August 7 was carefully planned. High level consultations were held with US and NATO officials in the months preceding the attacks.
The attacks on South Ossetia were carried out one week after the completion of extensive US - Georgia war games (July 15-31st, 200. They were also preceded by high level Summit meetings held under the auspices of GUAM, a US-NATO sponsored regional military alliance.

GUAM has little to do with "Democracy and Economic Development". It is a de facto appendage of NATO. It has been used by the US and the Atlantic Alliance to extend their zone of influence into the heartland of the former Soviet Union.
The main thrust of GUAM as a military alliance is to "protect" the energy and transportation corridors, on behalf of the Anglo-American oil giants. GUAM countries are also the recipients of US-NATO military aid and training.
The militarization of these corridors is a central feature of US-NATO planning. Georgia and Ukraine membership in NATO is part of the agenda of controlling the energy and transport corridors from the Caspian Sea basin to Western Europe.

whats another 2000 women and children killed so the NEOCONS can get they're pipeline
doesnt matter to Americans it seems.....
I am pissed off... I want to know why the war crimes trials havent been initiated... King George had a heavy hand in Georgia attacking these smaller provinces killing these women and children with indiscriminant artillery bombardments
What I want to know is why arnt Americans concerned... it's ok that our president (Whom I think is a loose cannon at best; a homicidial maniac at worst) can spend your money like a drunk sailor and kill innocent people
so when do we get concerned, when it happens in our own back yard perhapsJoin our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

No surprise that besides only an occasional mention of the fact that Georgia first initiated an attack, MSM never elaborates any further as to why. Could it possibly be propaganda???
