1. nothing has changed my mind that nato will be asked

to be the bad boy in all this.

2. Russia and China will continue to let us spin.

5. what interest do they have in the price of oil in Texas

3. Why not invite Iran?

4. a BushCo. dog & pony show

and thats all. there will be the weeping and wailing and the gnashing of teeth. then bush and/or bolton will rant and rave about how 'the international community isn't living up to its responsibilities'.

and i can't see NATO being stupid enough to fall for bush's crap on this.
