Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
In 2003, President Bush formed a three-way alliance between the U. S., Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan called the Caspian Guard. Check Iran on a globe. We are boxing in Iran. The U.S. military is in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have alliances with Pakistan, Turkey, and the ‘Stans”. In fiscal 2003, $11.1 million went to Turkmenistan, part for border control.
This is all to contain the mullahs until the people there can overthrow them. With half of the population in Iran now young people who dislike the mullahs and yearn for freedom, we have great hope for Iran. We are trying to buy their blossoming revolution enough time with military and diplomatic chess moves.
And we also sold an AWAC to Israel just in case.
"Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho"
Anything for the cav. The tholian web was an episode on Star-trek where the Tholians spun it around the Enterprise in space to trap it. Kirk as usual found a way out and made sure there would be more episodes.
God bless the Cav...especially K troop 3rd ACR. (I served in it as a 19 Delta cav scout back in 83-85.)
