"European powers have resisted efforts to impose sanctions, fearing a repeat of Iraq, where, in their view, 14 years of sanctions destroyed the social fabric of the country and only served to empower Saddam Hussein. With the cat-and-mouse game growing more heated with Syria, however, Europeans may be forced to join a sanctions regime with the United States, Mr. Landis said."

This makes no sense at all.

I don't believe the "European powers" are dense enough to think that GWB is going to dither around for his part of the next 14 years. Ain't going to happen that way.

Professor Landis is obviously knowledgeable on Lebanon and Syria (here's his blog: http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/L/Joshua.M.Landis-1/syriablog/index.html ) , but if he thinks that the "European powers" think this way then he needs to do some more study . . .


Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe the "European powers" are that dumb . . .

Gannett stuff can't be posted even in excerpt form apparently.

Don't follow that?

24 is a television show. A nice Arab family kidnaps the secretary of defense and melts down nuclear power plants.

According to Department of Motor Vehicles records, Shaaban was authorized to transport hazardous materials.

This is scary.

Now I remember, I watched a bit of that the other night after some encouragement from some Freepers, then my viewing got interrupted.

President Bush seems to know that he is working from a position of supreme strength and is making the most of the advantage in the time he has.

Yes, and what few people know, and even fewer really understand, is that he is literally racing aginst the clock, to get what needs to be accomplished "fait accompli" in time. It appears, though that the hand of G-d is evident as well, working on his behalf (or is it vice-versa?)

The timetable on the joint attack on Israel may have been moved up. So this could be another obfuscation move. :')

Why does the sight of those 6th Century garbed, lazy, bigoted religious extremists from the Saudi "royal family" always cause me to slap my hip in search of a weapon that is no longer there?

Keep a close eye on the Saudis, folks --- they are NOT our friends...
They are the closest thing in the world to our NATURAL enemy..

Their view of the future does NOT include us living and believing as we do......

Semper Fi
