White House Running fo Cover?

If the report below is on target -- and most of the Aljazeera reports are a few days ahead of our local ones -- the White House looks to have made an 180 degree turn about since the attack on Murtha.

Let us hope. But the chaos over there may accelerate in other areas as well as Iraq. Terror reigns where we had a base in Uzbekistan. Lebanon could blow up again into civil war now that we have backed the Syrians out -- certainly the tensions seem once again to be moving in the south in the conflict with Israeli troops there. Where Iran will go is an open question? And I would not want to be left with Gaddafi as our big time ally in the Middle East! Jordan cannot be happy to have us palling around with Chalabi -- big time crook from their experience.

Let us hope that the Sharon move represents some sort of breaking of the log jam there?

2006 may prove to be an interesting year? Hopefully not in the traditional Chinese sense of the word!
