While you’re watching someone try to hit Rupert Murdoch with a pie and Congress is tied up with hearings about dog fighting, Iran has sent its military into the Kurdistan portion of Iraq. (Remember that wonderful new tunnel?)

It’s a good thing the US Military isn’t stretched too thin.
Has President Clinton made any comment on these developments yet?
She will “deem as won” the war in Iraq.
This is very predictable. We destroyed Iraq’s own military capability. It was no match against us, but kept Iran at a standoff. Having destroyed most of Iraq’s hardware, when we leave (riiiiight!), that leaves Iraq with an internal police force in Jeeps designed to stop internal dissent up against Iran with airplanes and tanks and missiles and submarines.
Even if Iran stays quiet, it will take little provocation for Turkey to spill over the border if the Kurds start getting nationalist ideas again. I heard Turkey’s military is almost as big as all of NATO combined.
Turkey may be salivating for Ottoman take 2.
President Clinton is already pushing for a “resolution” to the Greek-Turkey dispute over Cyprus.

*Note: Cyprus will be heading the EU in 2012. Turkey could make it damned inconvenient for the EU (which has increasingly given them the cold shoulder) if they were take to seize the entire island in the next 6 months or so.
** Note 2: the recent deadly explosion (of seized Iranian goods) at an ammo dump in Greek Cyprus was a complete coincidence.
Greece is in a bit of a quandary at the moment. Something about being broke and everyone in strike because they won’t get 8 weeks of vacation and full retirement at 40 (or something close to that)
I wish the ‘Clinton’s’ would just go away. Bill is still in the 60’s trying to stir up race riots and Hillary well, she is just mad at everyone. They contribute nothing good.
Is this “war”? Our media is a shame – a wholly controlled subsidiary of the DNC. Rome burns while our worthless media fiddles.
Fox News Radio has been drifting left… The news was just touting how wonderful it is to have government run by gangs and how pointless the cut, cap and balance bill is
