CONNALLY

place-names like a fly-fisherman making casts. Why is there trouble in Trinidad. Tobago, Grenada? Because 70 per cent of our oil comes through the Gulf of Mexico, past Aruba, Curaçao, Willemstad. “That’s why they’re there, that’s why they’re moving, that’s why they’re causing trouble in the Caribbean.”

Connally gives the globe a spin. Why did the Soviets take Mozambique? Because Mozambique controls the Madagascar straits, and “they understand the value of the narrow seas.” Why Ethiopia and South Yemen? So that they now have the Red Sea “in an absolute pincer movement.” Why Afghanistan? “Not because of Kabul; not because of Afghanistan”; but because “the Strait of Hormuz is 350 miles away, within range of their fighter planes.” Why has the President done nothing? Because he is “lectured to, talked to, surrounded by, encouraged by” advisors who want “to solve the world’s problems on a one-world basis.”
