The Ties That Bind
You have to wonder what the Russians are thinking. Syria's official news agency SANA announced Mr. Assad would begin a "working visit" to Moscow on Wednesday at the invitation of Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev.I think he got that right. He just got it backwards. No one in the world now thinks the Russians are nice friendly folk who just want to do business and enjoy life. Speaking on the conflict between Georgia and Russia over Georgia's breakaway republic of South Ossetia, Mr. Assad said: "On this issue we fully support Russia. The war, which was unleashed by Georgia, is the culmination of attempts to encircle and isolate Russia."I did a post on that Naval movement Perhaps They Miscalculated. Then yesterday I got this e-mail from Fabius Maximus. Here is the final nail in the coffin of the rumor featured in your post of August 12. Is a retraction in order? (I apologize if I have overlooked it).He goes on about the misinformation that the inet is promoting at Fabius Maximus. Which is more or less a reproduction of the e-mail. Now what do I think? The Theodore Roosevelt was in port at the time I wrote my report according to sources I have found of late: i.e. comments at blogs. However, that does not in my opinion invalidate the general idea of an Iranian blockade in the works. I'd like to wait a week or three and see what happens. He may be right about no blockade. However, it seems if Iran and Syria are getting nuclear capable missiles that could lead to pre-emptive attacks by Israel and precipitate a blockade of Iran by the USA. It is really hard to see where this is all going. I thought it was 1936 (re:Germany France and the Rhineland) it may be much later than that - 1939 (re: Germany and Russia dismembering Poland). If so we may have a very big war on our hands. All this could have been prevented if the USA was supplying more oil to the world markets limiting the profits of our enemies Russia and Iran, not to mention our "best friend" Saudi Arabia. Who do I blame for this situation? The Democrats who have declared new American oil sources off limits. Had they allowed drilling and mining of new oil resources it might have defused this run up to a what appears to be a very serious oil war. Evidently they have decided that Blood For Oil is better than drilling for oil. Scum of the earth. And if a single Democrat who is against American contributions to the world oil market is left in the House after November it will just prove we deserve a world wide oil war. You can watch a video that gives Harry Reid's opinion of drilling for oil and the response of an ordinary citizen at Harry Reid Makes Me Sick. An eye opener.

I have a paranoid patient who sits with his back to the wall. He perceives anyone looking at him or coming within 10 feet of him as attacking him. The point to remember is that he is not pretending, or using this as a technique to get his way, as a sociopath would. He really believes he's under constant attack. Assistant Village Idiot · August 21, 2008 10:31 AM I used to have a problem like that. Anyone coming towards me from my left rear used to give me a burst of fear. By paying attention and countering my brain signals every time it happened I got over it. I can still get a taste of it if I want to. (Just did) but it is no longer automatic. M.

Is Putin insane? Giving any Muslim nation an advanced weapon system, especially a nuclear one, is tantamount to giving them the knife to slit your own throat. Bassad is a jihadist, he funds jihadists around the world, and he won't hesitate to ship Russian arms to Chechnya to fund the jihad against Russia, or ship them to Kosovo to continue the ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims there. Or he might ship them into Western Europe, witness the big weapons cache recently found in Sweden that may have been sourced from the Balkans.
