Israel backs Georgia in Caspian Oil Pipeline Battle with Russia

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

August 8, 2008, 4:26 PM (GMT+02:00)

Georgian tanks and infantry, aided by Israeli military advisers, captured the capital of breakaway South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, early Friday, Aug. 8, bringing the Georgian-Russian conflict over the province to a military climax.

Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin threatened a military response.

Former Soviet Georgia called up its military reserves after Russian warplanesbombed its new positions in the renegade province.

In Moscows first response to the fall of Tskhinvali, president Dimitry Medvedevordered the Russian army to prepare for a national emergency after calling the UNSecurity Council into emergency session early Friday.

Reinforcements were rushed to the Russian peacekeeping force present in theregion to support the separatists.

Georgian tanks entered the capital after heavy overnight heavy aerial strikes, in

which dozens of people were killed.Lado Gurgenidze, Georgia's prime minister, said on Friday that Georgia will continueits military operation in South Ossetia until a "durable peace" is reached. "As soon asa durable peace takes hold we need to move forward with dialogue and peacefulnegotiations."

DEBKAfiles geopolitical experts note that on the surface level, the Russians arebacking the separatists of S. Ossetia and neighboring Abkhazia as payback for thestrengthening of American influence in tiny Georgia and its 4.5 million inhabitants.However, more immediately, the conflict has been sparked by the race for controlover the pipelines carrying oil and gas out of the Caspian region.

The Russians may just bear with the pro-US Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvilisambition to bring his country into NATO. But they draw a heavy line against his plansand those of Western oil companies, including Israeli firms, to route the oil routesfrom Azerbaijan and the gas lines from Turkmenistan, which transit Georgia, throughTurkey instead of hooking them up to Russian pipelines.

Saakashvili need only back away from this plan for Moscow to ditch the twoprovinces revolt against Tbilisi. As long as he sticks to his guns, South Ossetia andAbkhazia will wage separatist wars.

DEBKAfile discloses Israels interest in the conflict from its exclusive military sources:

Jerusalem owns a strong interest in Caspian oil and gas pipelines reach the Turkishterminal port of Ceyhan, rather than the Russian network. Intense negotiations areafoot between Israel Turkey, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Azarbaijan for pipelines to

reach Turkey and thence to Israels oil terminal at Ashkelon and on to its Red Seaport of Eilat. From there, supertankers can carry the gas and oil to the Far Eastthrough the Indian Ocean.

Aware of Moscows sensitivity on the oil question, Israel offered Russia a stake in theproject but was rejected.

Last year, the Georgian president commissioned from private Israeli security firmsseveral hundred military advisers, estimated at up to 1,000, to train the Georgianarmed forces in commando, air, sea, armored and artillery combat tactics. They alsooffer instruction on military intelligence and security for the central regime. Tbilisialso purchased weapons, intelligence and electronic warfare systems from Israel.

These advisers were undoubtedly deeply involved in the Georgian armyspreparations to conquer the South Ossetian capital Friday.

In recent weeks, Moscow has repeatedly demanded that Jerusalem halt its militaryassistance to Georgia, finally threatening a crisis in bilateral relations. Israelresponded by saying that the only assistance rendered Tbilisi was defensive.

This has not gone down well in the Kremlin. Therefore, as the military crisisintensifies in South Ossetia, Moscow may be expected to punish Israel for itsintervention.

New Caspian oil interests fuel US war drive against IraqBy Barry Grey16 November 1998

Iraq's decision to allow the resumption of UN weapons inspections has temporarilyforestalled a US attack. But the crisis is by no means resolved. It will intensify in thecoming days and weeks, under conditions in which the Clinton administration hasopenly linked its preparations for an air war to the goal of destabilizing and removingthe regime of Saddam Hussein.

Powerful geo-political interests are fueling the American war drive. In many respectsUS policy in the Persian Gulf is driven today by the same considerations that led it toinvade Iraq nearly eight years ago. As a "senior American official"--most likelySecretary of State James Baker--told the New York Times within days of the Iraqioccupation of Kuwait in August of 1990: "We are talking about oil. Got it? Oil, vitalAmerican interests."

The Bush administration exploited Iraq's move against its southern neighbor todemonstrate US military supremacy and strengthen its position in a region rich in oiland strategically located at the crossroads of the Middle East, southeastern Europe,northern Africa and Central Asia. The gulf war was intended as a warning toAmerican imperialism's major international rivals, above all Germany and Japan,both of which were heavily dependent on oil imports from the region. In the midst of the war Bush hinted as much in a speech to the New York Economic Club. In tradetalks with Germany and Japan, he said, "We will have some--I wouldn't say leverage

on them--but persuasiveness."There have, however, been major changes since 1991, above all, the breakup of theSoviet Union. This gigantic fact has altered geo-political relations in the Middle East,the Persian Gulf and Central Asia, and, if anything, exacerbated Americandissatisfaction with the status quo in Iraq.

The transformation of former Soviet republics in the region into independent states--politically unstable but endowed in some cases with enormous deposits of oil and

other mineral wealth--has led to an increasingly intense involvement of the US inCentral Asia. The lure of enormous oil reserves in the Caspian Sea has madeAzerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan the focus of fierce competition betweenthe great powers of the world for domination of this part of the globe.

This struggle recalls the protracted conflict between Britain and Russia at the end of

the nineteenth century for hegemony in the Middle East and Central Asia thatbecame known as the Great Game. Germany made its own thrust into the regionwith its decision to build the Berlin to Baghdad railroad. The resulting tensions playeda major role in the growth of European militarism that erupted in World War I.

This time American imperialism is the major protagonist. Over the past severalyears, the battle for dominance in the region has come to center on one question:where to build a pipeline to move oil from the Azeri capital of Baku to the West.

Within the next several months the Azerbaijan International Operating Company(AIOC), a consortium of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan and internationalcompanies including British Petroleum and four US firms, Amoco, Unocal, Exxon andPennzoil, will announce a decision on pipeline construction that Washington considersto be of immense importance to the strategic position of the United States in thetwenty-first century. French, Japanese, Russian and Chinese firms are also heavilyinvolved in projects for drilling and shipping oil from the Caspian.

The Clinton administration has given the highest priority to this issue. BillRichardson, who as American ambassador to the UN was the point man forWashington in the last US confrontation with Iraq in the winter of 1997-98, has beenappointed Secretary of Energy. He has been assigned the lead role in convincingAIOC to build its pipeline along an east-west route preferred by Americanpolicymakers.

Washington wants the pipeline to pass from Azerbaijan through Georgia to Turkey,emptying out at the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. Oil executives haveinclined to a more direct, shorter and cheaper route that would flow south throughIran to the Persian Gulf. A third alternative would move the oil from Baku northwest


5/14

through Russia, ending at the Black Sea port of Novorossisk.

A US State Department report from April of last year indicates the importance whichthe Clinton administration attaches to the geo-politics of Caspian oil:

"The Caspian region could become the most important new player in world oil

markets over the next decade. The US has critical foreign policy issues at stake--theincrease and diversification of world energy supplies, the independence andsovereignty of the NIS [Newly Independent States] and isolation of Iran."

A series of unusually frank articles in the New York Times, the Washington Post, theWall Street Journal and other more specialized organs of American bourgeois opinionand policy have placed the battle over the pipeline decision within the context of astruggle for world domination in the next century.

Last month the Times ran a front-page article warning that the US pipeline plan wason the brink of defeat.The article said:

"The Caspian region has emerged as the world's newest stage for big power politics.It not only offers oil companies the prospect of great wealth, but provides a stage forhigh-stakes competition among world powers.... Much depends on the outcome,because these pipelines will not simply carry oil but will also define new corridors of trade and power. The nation or alliance that controls pipeline routes could hold swayover the Caspian region for decades to come."

The Times quoted Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) lamenting that US leveragehad been weakened because Clinton had "lost the power of moral persuasion" as aresult of the scandals surrounding his administration.

Since then the Clinton administration has intensified its lobbying efforts, and theAIOC has put off announcing its decision on the pipeline route.Indicative of

Washington's high-level efforts, the Times ran another major article on November 8,which spoke of the pipeline decision in even more apocalyptic terms:

"At stake is far more than the fate of the complex Caspian region itself. Rivalriesbeing played out here will have a decisive impact in shaping the post-Communistworld, and in determining how much influence the United States will have over itsdevelopment."

The article quoted Richardson, who hinted broadly at the determination of Washington to prevent the pipeline from running through either Iran or Russia, so asto limit the political influence of both in the region:

"This is about America's energy security, which depends on diversifying our sourcesof oil and gas worldwide. It's also about preventing strategic inroads by those whodon't share our values. We're trying to move these newly independent countriestoward the West. We would like to see them reliant on Western commercial andpolitical interests rather than going another way. We've made a substantial politicalinvestment in the Caspian, and it's very important to us that both the pipeline mapand the politics come out right."

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the discovery of huge oil and gas reserves inthe Caspian have led to a certain evolution in US policy toward Iraq. As long as the


6/14

issue of strategic concern was only the Persian Gulf, the focus of American concernwas to Iraq's south. Washington concluded that a military occupation of Iraq andpossible fracturing of the country posed too great a risk of destabilizing the region. Itdecided at the end of the gulf war to leave Saddam Hussein's Republican Guardintact and allow him to remain in power.

America's intensified interest in the lands to Iraq's north has altered US military andeconomic priorities. For a thrust into the Caspian, a more direct military and politicalpresence in Iraq is necessary.

Iraq occupies a strategic position in the geography of the region in general, and thegeo-politics of the pipeline dispute in particular. The nation that controlled the northof Iraq would be in a position, for example, to protect a pipeline through southernTurkey, or launch military strikes against a pipeline through Iran.

The US would like to turn northern Iraq into a new base for American militaryoperations. This is politically unfeasible as long as the present Iraqi regime is inpower. US policy over the past seven years has made a normalization of relationswith Saddam Hussein impossible, for both domestic and international reasons. Hehas become an increasingly intolerable obstacle to American aims. He must beeliminated and replaced by a US client regime.

It is more than just a coincidence that Washington stepped up its militarypreparations against Iraq at the very point that its efforts to impose its choice of apipeline route for Caspian oil seemed headed for defeat. A large-scale strike againstIraq would send a clear message to Russia, France, Iran and other rivals that the USretains military supremacy and is prepared to use it. It would demonstrate to eachand all that American imperialism is the top gun not only in the Persian Gulf, but inCentral Asia as well.

On a wider international arena, conflicts between the US and its imperialist rivals in

Europe and Asia are intensifying over a host of economic and political issues. Just inthe last few days Clinton has threatened trade war measures against Japan oversteel and the European Union over bananas. This provides an added incentive forusing Iraq as a convenient target to remind the world of America's capacity formilitary destruction.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

The Grand Chessboard

American Primacy And It's Geostrategic Imperatives

Key Quotes From Zbigniew Brzezinksi's Seminal Book

"Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power."- (p. xiii) (Eurasia means "the Middle East")

"... But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America. The formulation of a comprehensiveand integrated Eurasian geostrategy is therefore the purpose of this book. (p. xiv)

"In that context, how America 'manages' Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates Eurasiawould control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mereglance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entailAfrica's subordination , rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania (Australia) geopolitically

peripheral to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia,and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well , both in its enterprises and underneath itssoil. Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources ." (p.31)

The momentum of Asia's economic development is already generating massive pressures for theexploration and exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central Asian region and the CaspianSea basin are known to contain reserves of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, theGulf of Mexico, or the North Sea. " (p.125)

"In the long run, global politics are bound to become increasingly uncongenial to theconcentration of hegemonic power in the hands of a single state . Hence, America is not only thefirst, as well as the only, truly global superpower, but it is also likely to be the very last." (p.209)

Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy . But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or

challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being . The economic self-denial (that is, defensespending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in theeffort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization ."(p.35)

"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society , it may find it moredifficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a trulymassive and widely perceived direct external threat ." (p. 211)

"...To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient

empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusionand maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant andprotected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together." (p.40)

"Henceforth, the United States may have to determine how to cope with regionalcoalitions that seek to push America out of Eurasia , thereby threatening America'sstatus as a global power ." (p.55)

"Uzbekistan, nationally the most vital and the most populous of the central Asian states, representsthe major obstacle to any renewed Russian control over the region. Its independence is critical tothe survival of the other Central Asian states, and it is the least vulnerable to Russian pressures." (p.121)

[Referring to an area he calls the "Eurasian Balkans" and a 1997 map in which he has circled the exact location of the current conflict- describing it as the central region of pending conflict for world dominance] "Moreover, they [ the Central Asian Republics ] are of importance from the standpoint of securityand historical ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more powerful neighbors,namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China also signaling an increasing political interest in theregion. But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a potential economic prize :an enormous concentration of natural gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in additionto important minerals, including gold ." (p.124)

"The world's energy consumption is bound to vastly increase over the next two or three decades.Estimates by the U.S. Department of energy anticipate that world demand will rise by more than 50

percent between 1993 and 2015, with the most significant increase in consumption occurring in theFar East. The momentum of Asia's economic development is already generating massive pressuresfor the exploration and exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central Asian region and theCaspian Sea basin are known to contain reserves of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, the Gulf of Mexico, or the North Sea." (p.125)

"Uzbekistan is, in fact, the prime candidate for regional leadership in Central Asia." (p.130)

"Once pipelines to the area have been developed , Turkmenistan's truly vast natural gas reserves augur a prosperous future for the country's people. (p.132)

"In fact, an Islamic revival - already abetted from the outside not only by Iran but also bySaudi Arabia - is likely to become the mobilizing impulse for the increasingly pervasive newnationalisms, determined to oppose any reintegration under Russian - and hence infidel -control. " (p. 133).

"For Pakistan , the primary interest is to gain Geostrategic depth through political influence inAfghanistan - and to deny to Iran the exercise of such influence in Afghanistan and Tajikistan -and to benefit eventually from any pipeline construction linking Central Asia with the Arabian

"China's growing economic presence in the region and its political stake in the area's independenceare also congruent with America's interests." (p.149)

"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is the globe's central arena . Hence,what happens to the distribution of power on the Eurasian continent will be of decisive importanceto America's global primacy and to America's historical legacy ." (p.194)

"Without sustained and directed American involvement , before long the forces of globaldisorder could come to dominate the world scene. And the possibility of such a fragmentation isinherent in the geopolitical tensions not only of today's Eurasia but of the world more generally."(p.194)

"With warning signs on the horizon across Europe and Asia, any successful American policy mustfocus on Eurasia as a whole and be guided by a Geostrategic design ." (p.197)
