It also makes me wonder if we are seeing the beginning of a policy shift in Iraq. Up until now the official goals in Iraq have been to see a coalition of Sunni and Shiite "moderates" running a unified Iraq. But recently "the surge" seems to be aimed at pacifying Bagdad and helping "moderate" Sunnis run Al Queda out of Sunni areas like Anbar province. Even Bush has talked about the possibitlity of reducing US troops there.
Could we be signaling the Shiite "moderates" that they either need to get with the program or we are going to back the old Sunni elite in any civil war. Setting up a direct Sunni/Shiite war, including Iran, in the Middle East.
Wouldn't that be something to see after 50+ years of Arab/Israeli struggle. A middle east where the two Palestinian factions are killing each other and there is a Sunni/Shiite war amoung the arabs.

I stayed up too late last night checking out various blogs and Crooks and Liars in particular, reading posts ranging from screw up to intentional leak to drive a point home. But no one seems to be taking into account the number of warships already stationed in the Persian Gulf, and I would bet at least a few subs nearby... Like maybe the folks in the Middle East don't know this? So the idea of making a show with B-52s transporting nukes to a stateside distribution point doesn't cut it with me. I think it was an error, despite whatever system supposedly safegaurds against them. Not the first screw up we know about among God knows how many we don't know about. But hey! What do I know?

aren't the shiites more persian than arab? Maybe it goes much deeper tan current world policy

One troubling little point for me was the mention that Air Combat Command has ordered a complete stand down on September 14th to analyze why this happened with the nukes. Any kind of stand down so close to 9/11 is a red flag if not a sign of a false flag operation to come. Perhaps you didn't hear about the Secretary of Transportation's testimony to the 9/11 Commission on your evening news so here goes:
Secretary Mineta testified:
"During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there
was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, "The plane is 50 miles out." "The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got
down to "the plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the Vice
President, "Do the orders still stand?" And the Vice President turned
and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand.
Have you heard anything to the contrary?"
One possibility for the stand down was that Cheney and company were running a false flag operation on 9/11 to give the Neo-Con agenda momentum.

Insanity Rules.
How come this is quoting The Fright House so much, and how come they're so knowledgeable of what's in it?
P.R. selling Iran invasion, at the same time P.R. upstaging the coast-to-coast protest demonstrations in the streets Nine Eleven. Oh, be very AFRAID, there's a PICTURE of HIM on TV. Mygawd, he's DEAD. Who the HELL does The Fright House think they are fooling??
Don't you love the line, "...al-Qaida's media arm ..." The source of the press release is "Groups." There is no more anonymous source than that. Gawd, this is hiLARIous.
Groups: Bin Laden Plans Video on 9 / 11, ASSOCIATED PRESS, September 7, 2007.

... about those 'nukes.' They were mounted on cruise missiles, were they not?
The rapid spin, where the crap was flung in, played off Iran -- GASP !! -- and that those things could be flying out of this country, who knows where.
Call me contrary, since my worry is they'd be flown into this country ... who knows where they might come down.
No doubt The Fright House could make the massmind believe the Eye-rain-ians did it. Let's go GET 'em!!!
