Did you hear Ed Schultz say he got mail about US troops in Germany going to Iraq...
in August? While congress is not in session.

I started listening to Schultz again finally for two reasons...Lionel is unbearable and XM does not carry Hartmann at that time. Lionel is on just before Schultz...can't get Hartmann until night time on XM.

Sounds like they are escalating, thumbing their noses at everyone.

1. Why wouldn't they?
In case you haven't noticed, the few things the obstructionist GOP lets through are ignored. We are now in a dictatorship.

2. Guess everyone else knew but me.
I had not heard that at all.

No one calling in particularly cared.

5. I think Joe For Clark has a family member in Iraq now and he is worried
about escalation of military tactics in the northern part of Iraq (Kurds, Turkey), but I may have misunderstood. Maybe it's Syria. Anyway, nothing surprises me at this point.

7. How many people are with me? They are going to Iran, not Iraq.
August has already been mentioned for Iran.

Is that what he said? Maybe I misheard.
Probably we will end up there as well.

9. No, I think he said Iraq. I caught the end of it. If he had said Iran,
Edited on Fri Jul-13-07 01:48 PM by higher class
it would be talked about everywhere.

But, our conniving Cheney is in charge and PNAC and Israel want Iran taken down.

August has been mentioned.

Say Iraq, and make it Iran would be modus operandi for Cheney, oil friends, and barons.

The Navy is offshore of Iran. Are these new recruits or returning soldiers learning some Farsi?

It's now or by October. Prayerfully - NEVER.

So, my suppostion is that it will be Iran. My suppostiion is that the surge was for Iran. My suppostiion is that Congress has been bilked again (or let themselves be bilked with knowledge). My supposition is that some of the military generals may actually be protesing Iran.

Perhaps that 22 Arabic Nation peace meeting is Israel is an attempt to prevent - or deflect?

AND TODAY THERE IS NEWS THAT IRAN IS COOPERATING WITH IAEA.

"IAEA: Iran Agrees to Nuclear Concessions

Friday July 13, 2007 12:16 PM


By GEORGE JAHN

Associated Press Writer

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Iran has lifted its ban on visits to a nuclear facility by U.N. experts and now will allow them to inspect the site, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Friday.

It also said Tehran was ready to answer key questions on past suspicious experiments that the international community fears could be linked to a weapons program.

The IAEA - the U.N. nuclear monitor - said Iran promised the concessions earlier this week in meeting between its officials and a senior delegation from the Vienna-based agency."
