<p>“We do have intelligence which suggests that weapons and ammunition are being smuggled in from Iran,” Maj. David Gell, a spokesman for British forces in Basra, said last week. “We don’t always manage to find any.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the hostage crisis will soon enter its third week.</p>
<p>I wish our policy towards Iran had a little more “careful calibration”. </p>
<p>Bush’s stepped-up sabre-rattling towards Iran scares the beejeezus out of me.</p>
<p>

<p>Let see if I can sort this out. Sunni terrorists associated with Al Quaeda and radical Shiite militia are killing each other. And, the US is trying to stop this, why? </p>
<p>Seems to me that when two of your “enemies” are busy killing each other, you step aside and say, “carry on, gentlemen.”</p>
<p>I wish someone could explain why we need a dog in the Sunni/Shia “hunt” and what vital US interests are being served by injecting ourselves into it.</p>
<p>I am sooo trusting of the news from the Bush people…it is like the boy who cried wolf…who knows what is real or not, jsut because someone said it…egad</p>
