Made In USA
Or, alternatively, Why They Do Hate Us.

I know it's ugly, but firing missiles into fleeing civilian vehicles? WTF?

The Arabs know that while Israelis pulled the trigger, those are Made In USA missiles.

Not only is this tactically insignificant, it further fuels hatred of Israel and the US.

It appears that Hezbollah has agree to a prisoner swap deal brokered in part by the Lebanese gov't. It remains to be be seen if BushCo will accept the terms.

The situations in Lebanon and Gaza are so fluid - perhaps intentionally so - that it's difficult to draw a bead on what prcisely is transpiring.

Meanwhile, Iraq is in undeclared civil war, and Afghanistan is under increasing pressure from the resurgent Taliban.

I don't need to provide any links, a quick search will lead you to too many articles to read.

One last thing, The Supremes have decided to hear a case on global climate change.

In case you missed it, w's State Dept. recently said this: "the surface of the Earth is warmer and that an increase in greenhouse gases caused by humans is contributing to the problem."

Link to State Dept. statement on climate change.

If I was a believer in any sort of eschatology, I'd probably cite the State Dept.s' webpage as evidence that the end is nigh ;)

Thankfully, I'm unburdened by any religious beliefs.

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
