Turkmenistan: "The Most Important Part" in the Energy Great Game
Just next to the western coastal city of Turkmenbashi, the Turkmenbashi State Oil Refinery is a massive, sprawling complex said to be larger than the city itself. It’s surrounded by three-meter-high walls topped with barbed wire; every 100 meters or so, stands a guard tower to detect potential intruders. It looks more like a military base than a production facility, and it goes without saying that it’s strictly forbidden to take photos.

The No. 2 U.S. military commander in Iraq warned Tuesday that security gains from this year's American troop buildup were just beginning to be felt and could be derailed if forces began leaving too soon. Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno added, however, that if attacks on American and Iraqi troops and Iraqi civilians did not increase dramatically for the next three or four months, it might be possible to maintain security in Iraq "with less [U.S.] troops."

CREDIT BUST BYPASSES BANKS
PART 1: The rise of the
non-bank financial system

The financial crisis brought to the world's attention by the subprime time-bomb is no longer one of liquidity, but of deteriorating creditworthiness throughout the global system. The liquidity crunch is a symptom, not the disease. The disease is a decade of permissive tolerance for credit abuse in which banks, regulators and rating agencies were willing accomplices.

"FPR'ın iki "kötü" özelliği var: 1. Alışkanlık yaratıyor, onsuz yapamaz hale geliyorsunuz; 2. Değeri alındığı değil, arada bir de olsa, alınamadığı vakit anlaşılıyor. Bir de sürekli bir kaygıya yol açıyor; 'Ya bir gün kesilir ve onu hiç alamazsam' duygusuyla sürekli yaşamak kolay değil."
