US Steps up pressure on Iran. Wow, the US administration is really playing it close to the chest about which country they're going to attack next. Maybe they're going to try for both at the same time, after all, how do you improve on Gulf War II but a sequel that's even bigger and broader? Maybe Bush saw Matrix Reloaded a few weeks back and is now going around thinking he can turn people into clones of himself.
Anyway, I'm sure that when News 24 reported this yesterday afternoon they said that the main threat that Rummy was issuing was to the Shia Muslims IN IRAQ, that they would not be allowed to turn the country into another hardline Muslim state. However, five or six hours later there was still no report anywhere on Rummy's speech and this morning the only report I've found thus far is directed against Iran. So perhaps News24 was wrong yesterday, I misheard or the News report today is less than accurate.
