Apparently, there are war games being conducted now by the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, (CSTO) of which Kazakhstan is a member.  These games are being conducted concurrently with the Iranian war games which will continue until the end of October or so.  Brittish troops have been re-deployed to the Iranian border of the province of Khuzestan in preparation of - what?  The war in Iraq has made a turn with Muqtada al-Sadr making his move (see Diwaniyah) or maybe it’s the coalition trying to “pre-empt” Iran’s “hezbollah” in Iraq.

It looks like the war has already started.  So the real question is probably “What side is Nazarbayev on?”.  He is spending the weekend with Bush in Kennebunkport.  I guess *we* will know once the fire works start.

Hypocrisy Alert?  Well, why not.  Wonder what’s on Nancy Grace

What’s new about Bush regime dealing with criminal regimes, dictators of their choice and undemocratic leaders! Hasn’t it been said that “Birds of feather flock together.”

As we commemorate the first anniversary of Katrina, I would like to record my feelings about how bad an omen was this for our country. Just nine months into his first stolen election, we were hit with the tragic events of 9/11. Whether this was an inside job or it was some outside enemy, history still needs to give its final verdict. However, the fact that it happened on Bush’s watch is bad enough of an omen for people to wake up.
Almost nine months into his second term, our country was devastated by the horrors of Katrina. This was, for sure, a wake up call from heaven; another bad omen about this evil imposed on the nation in the name of democracy and security.
How bad it has to get till the average American wakes up to the horrors committed by this administration in their names and with their tax-payers money!

This kind of diplomacy as been in effect for most our nation’s history. What makes this adminstration different from others is their
double talk. They are quite good at it. Look at all the P.R. for the Iraq war and the killing
of the Lebanese people. They do indeed have the pulse of the people. Our nation is forced fed and that is why Mr. Bush’s gang can deal with criminal regimes.
