The standard boilerplate on Georgia is that the Caucasus country may be small but strategically important. Straddling the Black and Caspian Seas, Georgia is seen by Washington and Brussels as a key fossil fuel transit country. The Baku-Ceyhan pipeline attests to that. It's all part of the grand strategy to tug the region out of Moscow's orbit. Less know is the fact that Georgia has a little oil of its own and a Houston-based drilling firm is doing its darnedest to suck it out of the ground.
