KAZAKHSTAN OFFERS 'LOGISTICS BASE' FOR [NORTHERN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK].

Containers traveling on the "Northern Distribution Network" would pile up at the port of Aktau…

General McNabb is the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command and he is present.

Hoagland is thinking, […we need to use a term like "logistics facility" or "container holding area"…]

Optics, optics, optics…moar on this [NDN] later.

KAZAKHSTAN: WHY TO PAY SERIOUS ATTENTION.

Obama called President Nazarbayev November, 2008.

April of 2009 Pedo Joe invited Nazarbayev to the 2010 Nuclear Security Summit.

Hoagland, "Whether or not we intended these calls as any kind of signal, Nazarbayev and the progressive element of his top leadership – and even the general population – interpreted the calls as a clear and meaningful signal of a new U.S.-Kazakhstan relationship, and warmly, enthusiastically welcomed them. That's the power of the image of the United States and of President Obama himself. We would do well for our long-term interests – including stability in Afghanistan – to build on the power of that perception."
