The war drums are beating again.

Am I the only one who thinks that when it come to the Middle East the words "Peace Process" are code for "Get Ready for War"?

I wonder if/how this will affect Bush's planned visit in January?

Interesting.

According to another older story "sources" said that Israel was ready last Thursday: www.abovetopsecret.com...

I guess they were a good source because the head of the military just announced the same thing today.

The rhetoric is escalating.

It's clear they are just waiting for an excuse to go in now...

edit: I'll close this one.
