| #4 Remember that the Azeris are a very large country with a very small population, and a very belligerent neighbor who doesn't like them hobnobbing with the Americans and has threatened them in past. It would serve our mutual interests if the Azeri forces were kept extra loyal. There is a good chance that someday they may play host to at least an entire US division with a lot of extra ADA along for the ride. |

| #3 When the 12th Iman re occulates up the well on Aug 22, the raises won't be worth the payroll checks they are printed on. Azeribaijan is also maxing out his American Express card. |
