| #5 1. Georgia is the closest land route to the Middle East with an exisiting plug & play natural reources infra-structure. I dare ask what the strategic importance of the Poles is with an impotent Germany vs total control of all land routes to deliver ME Gas and Oil? 2. Georgia is the LARGEST non-NATO cotributor to Afghanistan and also contributed a batallion level force to the joint fronts of Afganistan and Iraq. 3. One of their batallions was fighting our WoT in Iraq while their own country was being invaded. Conclusion: They qualify as a strategically importatnt ALLY of the U.S. and the West and should be recognized, treated and defended as such. |

| #3 Grabbing low hanging fruit. Try it on the Poles today and you might get your finger badly burned. Failure has severe political costs. Cheaper and safer to nibble at the edges. |
