POPSIraqi Prime Minister Backs Obama's Withdraw Plan For such a neophyte according to McCain, Obama certainly seems to be making the right foreign policy calls. Emphasize Afghanistan instead of Iraq. Set up a diplomatic relationship and negotiation with Iran. Use a specific timetable to withdraw from Iraq. The Bush administration is signing onto to each of these but in different terms. John McCain is beginning to look like a stuck-in-the-mud in contrast.

POPSWho's the Grave Threat, Obama? Although the IAEA and the CIA have declared that Iran has no nuclear weapons program, Obama called Iran a "grave threat" for firing 9 missiles during military exercises. One of the missiles has the capacity to reach Israel. Israel recently practiced a simulated bombing run on Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons facility, but no one in the USA government or running for president called Israel a "grave threat." Israeli officials have also been clear they intend to strike Iran if it doesn't give up its nuclear facilities. Yet Israel has nuclear weapons, ones obtained through illegal means according to international law. Undoubtedly, Iran was sending a message with its missile test. The message is "we will defend ourselves." How is that wrong when they have been threatened by Israel?

POPSIsrael Practising to Attack Iran's Nuclear Facilities The IAEA and the CIA have both determined that Iran's nuclear facilities are incapable of producing nuclear weapons. So why attack? It could be because Israel wants to find a pretext for Iran's support of Hezbollah. Those F15s and F16s are US planes, most which we "sell" to Israel on credit but later forgive their indebtedness. Nice arrangement most Americans don't know about, but people in the Middle East know about and never forget.

POPSUS Concerned Over Venezulea & Iran Relationship over Bicycles Remember the moble WMD labs in Iraq that turned out to be for weather balloons, or the chemical weapon material stockpiles that were in fact insecticides, or the Cuban biological weapons lab that was actually a lab that made vaccines--now meet the latest US red herring on another "dangerous enemy" of the US. The Iraninin/Venerzulean atomic connection that is about producing bicycles.
