    Old Europe and the Mullah
    February 22, 2007
    by Philip Giraldi
    There has been a noticeable shift in the rhetoric emanating from the proponents of war with Iran, almost certainly due to the perception that armed conflict with Tehran will not be as easy a sell as was Iraq. The shift is most marked within the Bush Administration itself, where daily attacks on Iran that started with the State of the Union message on January 10th have largely disappeared and where both civilian and military (…)

    "There comes a time when you have to turn mother’s picture to the wall and get out".....Brad Dextere, "The Magnificent Seven"

    Iraq is losing up to 400,000 barrels of oil a day due to attacks targeting its oil infrastructure, a senior oil ministry official said.

    "Terrorist agents try to implement their ominous plots without being bothered at all," Zahedan Governor General Hassan-Ali Nouri told IRNA, adding (…)

    "We’re in the express elevator to Hell, baby..." Bill Paxton "ALIENS"
    The real "surge" test is already underway in Iraq and all is strangley quiet on the Middle East front. I suspect it’s a false calm, but the Bushies are smiling in anticipation of telling the Dems "we told you so". I doubt they’ll have that opportunity, however, despite the negative Senate vote on Saturday (which the Reps are crowing about).
    It looks like all Hell will break out before a week is up. Afghanistan is (…)

    Iraq’s fuel crisis started shortly after the U.S. invasion and has since aggravated and is felt across the (…)
