Twice a day, the clock strikes 11, right? As a friend notes, "In tomorrow's Sunday Times (London): 'Report: Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran.'

"...Of course," he adds, "it's not the first time the Times has run with this story.

"See for example:

2. aside - why don't they worry about Pakistan which has working nuclear weapons?

Iran is 5-10 years away. Iran has oil though?

3. Pakistan looks to have gotten 5 billion from Saudi Arabia

Is Isreal the only country in the Mid EAst that has nukes? Did Iran get itself a couple of those Russian suitcase nukes?

I see no benifit by the US attacking Iran, but the Bush Cabal is not rational.

The real issue in the Mid EAst is how do they reset the balance? The balance that was upset by Bush invading Iraq. I think that Mid East players are working hard to prevent this from blowing up in their faces. It maybe that these concerns override any influence the Bush cabal may try to peddle.

4. meanwhile while Bush focusses on the Middle East, China is eating OUR lunch!

It seems so anyhow?
