Cutting deals with them, on behalf of the oil companies, are a formidable
array of former top Western Cold Warriors, drawn principally from the
cabinet of George Bush, the former United States president, who hailed from
an oil family in Texas. The dealmakers include James Baker, Brent
Scowcroft, Dick Cheney and John Sununu; the Secretary of State, National
Security Adviser, Secretary of Defense and chief of staff respectively for
Bush.

Also cashing in on the deal are Lloyd Bentsen, former Treasury Secretary
under President Clinton, Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security
Adviser under President Carter, Tim Eggar, former British Energy Minister
and Malcolm Rifkind, former British Foreign Minister under the
Conservatives.

Brzezinski, one of the older men among the Central Asian dealmakers,
oversaw a major American push to destabilize the Soviet Union in this
region, when he worked for Carter, during the invasion of Afghanistan.
Today he is a consultant to Amoco.

Many of the other men played key roles in the dismantling of the former
Soviet Union in the final days of the Cold War. Baker and Shevardnadze, who
were the foreign policy chiefs for the two superpowers under Bush and
Gorbachev respectively, became close friends in this process. Baker now
runs his own law practice in Houston doing business for the oil companies
where he is able to use his highly placed friend in Georgia.

Brent Scowcroft earns US$130,000 dollars for advising Pennzoil and the
multinational Azerbaijan consortium. Sununu's management consulting firm,
JHS Associates, has also been welcomed in Azerbaijan. Likewise Bentsen who
recently likened Azerbaijan's struggle for independence to that of his home
state of Texas. Bentsen is a shareholder in Frontera Resources, an oil
services company working in Azerbaijan.
