On Wednesday, 750 Georgian servicemen went to Afghanistan to participate in NATO's operations. Just before sending the Georgian battalion to the combat zone a telephone call took place between Mikhail Saakashvili and Barack Obama, who thanked the Georgian leadership for its support of operations in Afghanistan. In turn, the President of Georgia expressed his personal thanks to U.S. President for the invitation to a Summit on Nuclear Safety, which will be held on April 12-13 in Washington, where it is quite possible that the first personal meeting between the two states will take place. However, there has not been any official confirmation of this information yet.

The international conference on nuclear security will be attended by some 50 countries that have either nuclear weapons or nuclear energy and facilities. Against the backdrop of worsening situation around the Iran and North Korea nuclear issue, White House attaches particular importance to this event. The themes to be taken up at the summit relate to security of nuclear materials, counter-terrorism measures and the protection of fissile materials.

Georgia has neither nuclear weapons nor nuclear facilities. In this regard, the Georgian leader most likely will not be called on to speak. And Saakashvili will have to meet with right politicians behind the scenes. It is not impossible that Obama's call to Tbilisi was also caused by the fact that it was necessary to warn Saakashvili about the impossibility of a personal meeting between the U.S. and Georgian presidents.

It will be recalled that after the publication of the report of the European Commission chaired by Heidi Tagliavini, in which Georgia was recognized the aggressor in the events of August 8, 2008, no great politician hold meetings with Mikhail Saakashvili. The Georgian president has to discuss political and economic problems at the best with foreign ministers.

Thus, the Georgian leader was not invited to the International Summit on Security, which was held last February in Munich. In 2009, the Georgian president arrived at the summit without an invitation and was not called on to speak.

Mikhail Saakashvili has seen the current Head of White House only once since his election as the president of the U.S. It happened at the Copenhagen Climate Summit on December 20. Then Mr. Saakashvili succeeded in shaking hands with Barack Obama and introducing.

It should be noted that the invitation of Saakashvili to Washington took place only after he had sent a battalion of Georgian soldiers and officers to assist the American contingent. The conversation between the two presidents rather looked like the need to observe the diplomatic etiquette - Obama expressed his gratitude to the Georgian side for its “support of international efforts in Afghanistan”.

In the run-up to the Conference on Nuclear Safety an article appeared in a daily newspaper - the Washington Times titled “President Obama, please do not receive Mikhail Saakashvili as a guest!” The article, in particular, reads: “this visit (to Washington) has become a result of the campaign carried out by Saakashvili’s American lobbyists, whose ranks had been recently reinforced by two companies connected with the Democratic Party to add his support on the part of the Republican party.”

Indeed, media have recently reported that the Georgian administration had hired a number of American lobbying firms (Podesta Group, Orion Strategies, etc.) to promote Georgia’s interests.

Americans even decided to make a film about Georgia. The main part in this film was acted by the famous Hollywood actor Andy Garcia, who had fun during breaks between shooting the film, making parodies of Mikhail Saakashvili and illustrating the famous episode of chewing his tie.

It is clear that American lobbyists promote Georgia’s interests in the American political market not for the great love for this country. All that costs the population of Georgia a good round sum. Only according to the open press, value of the contracts concluded by Saakashvili with U.S. lobbyists, is estimated at least $1.5 million.

It is not improbable that at the summit Mikhail Saakashvili will try once again to “shake up” the world community by his psychopathic extravagance, and he is sure to hope that he will be able to make amends to the West for his aggression in 2008 with the blood of Georgian soldiers in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile Washington increasingly gives to understand that the “ventlight” of the American-Georgian cooperation, open by the previous Bush administration, is gradually closing. This is especially evident on the background of signing a new START Treaty between the Russian Federation and the United States in Prague on April 8. The world is changing, except that Saakashvili does not notice it.
