Arms Sales to Developing Nations

In 2006, leading manufacturers in the highly competitive global arms market sought higher profits and expanded political influence in weapons sales to developing nations. Despite a 13% drop in worldwide weapons sales from 2005 to 2006, the combined sales of the United States, Russia, and Britain increased. The United States maintained its position as top arms dealer to developing nations in 2006 with $10.3 billion in weapons sales.

Cheney Backs Membership in NATO for Georgia

TBILISI, Georgia — Vice President Dick Cheney flew here on Thursday to deliver a forceful American pledge to rebuild Georgia and its economy, to preserve its sovereignty and its territory and to bring it into the NATO alliance in defiance of Russia.

Vice President Dick Cheney and Georgia's president, Mikheil Saakashvili, met U.S. soldiers delivering humanitarian aid in Tbilisi Thursday.

He arrived a day after the United States pledged $1 billion to help Georgia recover from its defeat by Russia’s armed forces, which continue to control two breakaway regions, as well as buffer zones in Georgia.

Standing beside President Mikheil Saakashvili, Mr. Cheney said that the United States had strongly supported Georgia since protests in 2003 ushered a democratic government to power and that it would continue to do so despite Russia’s proclamations that Mr. Saakashvili’s government was illegitimate.

Oddly enough, It is also the largest crop in California."

KIEV, Ukraine - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has pledged U.S. support for Ukraine following last month's war between neighboring Russia and Georgia.

Cheney says in remarks Friday that Ukrainians should be able to live "without the threat of tyranny, economic blackmail and military invasion or intimidation." He says the United States has a "deep and abiding interest" in Ukraine's security.

Cheney spoke after meeting with President Viktor Yushchenko. Cheney's visit to Ukraine and two other ex-Soviet republics signaled that the United States will continue cultivating close ties in the region.

That's even after Russia showed it was willing to use military force against countries along its border.

White House Unveils $1 Billion Georgia Aid Plan

Vice President Dick Cheney arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Wednesday with his wife, Lynne, left.

BAKU, Azerbaijan — President Bush proposed $1 billion in humanitarian and economic assistance on Wednesday to help rebuild Georgia after its short, disastrous war with Russia last month, but he stopped short of committing the United States to re-equipping its battered military.

Cheney slams Russia over war against Georgia

TBILISI, Georgia - Demonstrating Washington's commitment to beleaguered Georgia, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney flew in Thursday and condemned Russia for what he called an "illegitimate, unilateral attempt" to redraw Georgia's borders by force.

Speaking during a closely watched trip to this U.S.-allied South Caucasus nation, Cheney also assured Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili that the United States was "fully committed" to his country's efforts to join NATO.

"Georgia will be in our alliance," Cheney said.

One of the U.S. administration's most hawkish figures and a longtime critic of Russia, Cheney was visiting three ex-Soviet republics that are nervous about Moscow's intentions — Georgia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine.

His trip signaled to Moscow that the United States will continue to cultivate close ties with Georgia and its neighbors even after Russia showed it was not afraid to use its military against countries along its border.

U.S. waging battle of words on two very different fronts

Robert Salladay, Nanette Asimov, Chronicle Staff Writers

Tuesday, October 9, 2001

At 12:15 p.m. yesterday, as the United States bombed Afghanistan for a second day, a sequined Liza Minnelli took the stage at the White House to sing a song, moments after President Bush signed a Columbus Day proclamation.

The everything-is-normal image of calm resolution, punctuated by calls of patriotism and unity from the White House, were in sharp contrast to the images from halfway around the world -- angry anti-American mobs and fuzzy, green TV footage of bombs dropping.

The message at home is: We're doing the right thing, so carry on with your lives. And the message to Arab countries is: We're fighting terrorism, not Islam.

But no matter how many packaged meals the United States drops or how many assurances it gives that this isn't a war against Afghans, many in the Middle East remain unconvinced.

Cheney brings message of support to Georgia

BAKU (Reuters) - U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday the United States had a "deep and abiding interest" in its allies' security in the Caucasus, while Russia said U.S. support for Georgia was stirring up instability.

The United States later announced $1 billion in aid for rebuilding Georgia after last month's five-day war with Russia, a move likely to further strain ties with Moscow.

On a visit to Azerbaijan, Cheney also said the United States must work with the oil-producing ex-Soviet republic to create additional energy export routes to Western markets.

The Military: United States’ Oil Consuming Lion

The United States government consumes 2% of the entire amount of oil used in the nation each year; 97% of that usage swallowed by the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense used an average of 440,000 barrels of oil each and every day in 2004. That amount of oil is greater than the daily output of one of the nation’s most generously producing oil fields, Prudhoe Bay in Alaska.

All of the military usage is not for tanks, ships, aircraft, and the like, but most of it is. Only 25% of the military oil usage is for heating and powering their many large government buildings. The other 75% of military oil usage is for what is referred to as “mobility” type fuel. This includes all the fuel the military uses for every type of moving machinery, from attack vehicles to essential power generators.

With incisions no bigger than keyholes and recovery time reduced by two-thirds, some women are opting to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy rather than a conventional hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is the most common non-pregancy-related surgical procedure for women in the United States; more than 600,000 are performed a year. Only a quarter of these surgeries are performed in a minimally invasive way.
