ot- Nuke alliance shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone. It's the only way foreign countries can protect themselves from the USA now that we are seen as an agressor nation. It's the price ya pay for ignoring diplomacy, UN inspectors, diplomats, etc.. I've always felt this "war" was going to lead to a larger proliferation of wmd. It's the only deterrent viable for other nations from our military machine. Remember, you're either with us or against us <g>

The Arabs have many thousands of years of practicing political mischievousness more than us here in the U.S. I think that they are politically much more astute that we are. Their political astuteness has been driven by their tribal culture and way of survival, much more than ours has been, or will be. The history of their culture is a worthwhile read if you are interested in what we are up against. Kindly said, they are much better at surviving by use of mis-truths. FT

How about this? Curtains Ordered for Media Coverage of Returning Coffins By Dana Milbank Tuesday, October 21, 2003; Page A23 Since the end of the Vietnam War, presidents have worried that their military actions would lose support once the public glimpsed the remains of U.S. soldiers arriving at air bases in flag-draped caskets. To this problem, the Bush administration has found a simple solution: It has ended the public dissemination of such images by banning news coverage and photography of dead soldiers' homecomings on all military bases. In March, on the eve of the Iraq war, a directive arrived from the Pentagon at U.S. military bases. "There will be no arrival ceremonies for, or media coverage of, deceased military personnel returning to or departing from Ramstein [Germany] airbase or Dover [Del.] base, to include interim stops," the Defense Department said, referring to the major ports for the returning remains... washingtonpost.com --------------------------- Looks like that Iraqi oil to rebuild Iraqi is going to be even more difficult.. BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Guerrillas kept up attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq (news - web sites) Wednesday, as an Oil Ministry source acknowledged that this week's pipeline explosion was the most destructive carried out by saboteurs to date.... PIPELINE ATTACK The Oil Ministry source said Tuesday's sabotage blast that hit a cluster of four pipelines, just south of Baiji, Iraq's biggest oil refinery, was the most worrying attack so far. "This was a terrible blast. It hit four pipelines and it was the first time we actually witnessed parts of a pipeline being blown up completely," he said. "Normally there are dents, leaks and damage. But this blew up parts of the pipeline, which means repairs will take longer." The blast tore through two lines to Baghdad's vital Daura refinery, which was already taking diverted crude oil from the south. "The Daura refinery is now starved of oil," the source said. "It's getting about 30 percent of its usual supplies." story.news.yahoo.com
