TEHRAN — The Chinese and Indian officials are seriously trying to reach a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on China’s probable participation in Iran-Pakistan-India gas transfer project. The deal has assumed more importance due to U.S. opposition.

According to the Times of India, the MOU would include China as a partner in this project, and very likely, it would be inked by the end of 2005. China’s National Petroleum Company (CNPC) has shown great interest in being one of the partners in this international project.

4. I'll have to send them a fruit basket .....

or something by way of thanks.

It's time someone said "No, George!"

Obviously, "Bar" didn't do it very much when he was being raised, or he wouldn't have ended up so sociopathic.

2. Good. China's foiled Baby Bush's plans again. First Venezuela and now

taking the Indian/far eastern market...the prize we invaded Afghanistan for.

3. Yes. Call me cruel, but when I read articles like this -

the corners of my mouth turn slowly upward. I think to myself, "Good. Maybe now they'll realize there's more to this world than these Deluded Narcissists".

And if truth be told, I believe the US misses out on really good deals all the time. I bet that other countries are setting up "sweetheart" deals with each other all the time, and deliberately leave us out, or penalize us if we muscle our way in.

I believe they deliberately make things difficult for the US, just because the State Department is so obnoxious.

And it's costing us a lot of money.

6. "And it's costing us a lot of money."

Absolutely. Hence, the economic nosedive, and him standing around lying about it. He spends it as fast as we can work and make it! We need to confiscate his credit card.

DUH-bya doesn't get invited to all the meetings. He's probably pouting in Crawford right now.

5. Is China going to finish that pipeline in AFG?

Maybe they should put in a railroad while they're at it. A little mobility wouldn't hurt the Afghanis. The opium trade would get a boost. Hell, it might be just the thing to kick start OUR economy!

12. I've been saying it for years here at DU-

You fuck with Iran, you are fucking with China and Russia.
the neocons don't have a clue.

this cluster fuck?
Our problem is not that they will win,
it is that they are actually going to try.
We be so fucked.
