A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]
Well, I saw a blurb about a navy conflict between Iran and Iraq. I was going to make some leaps of faith about it possibly giving the UN impetus to deal with Iran. However, the story seems to pretty much have vanished without any media thought. Maybe this is why: CNN was allowed to "resume [...]
From Foxnews: Powerful members of the U.N. Security Council agreed Monday that Iran must fully suspend its nuclear program, Britain’s Foreign Office said following a meeting aimed at forging a common response to Tehran’s decision to resume uranium enrichment activities.

The guy with the big red circle is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the newly elected president of Iran. Now, how quickly do you think the Ted Kennedy’s and Diane [...]
As Iran appears to move closer to resuming nuclear activities, support has been quietly building in Congress for new U.S. sanctions, including penalties that could affect multinational companies and this country’s foreign aid recipients….. More than 200 members of the House of Representatives nearly half the body are co-sponsoring a bill that would tighten and [...]
Russia and Iran signed a nuclear fuel supply deal long opposed by Washington Sunday, paving the way for Iran to start up its first atomic reactor next year.
