It's truly a blessing to have really nice friends because they can help ground you sometimes when your thoughts become fragmented and disenchanted, so I invited a few over Thursday evening to watch the BCS National Championship football game between Alabama and Texas. "Hey, who has to go to work tomorrow?" At 12:00 there were five to six people in my den "chit-chatting" and another three or four in the kitchen doing the same.
A few weeks ago I read a story about a new military armament deal for the US that was going to net a few billion dollars and some new jobs but purposely let it slide to the back of my brain because it seemed so preposterous and the president had just been given the Nobel Peace Prize. Why is the Nobel Peace Prize granted? That should be an easy answer but it seems that as the ideas and attempts at illegitimate nation-state building continue proliferating the answer is really muddied. I always thought that a destabilized Middle East and nation-state building was a neo-con agenda. Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen...what has changed since GW? More troops and more weapons - more troops and more weapons - more troops and more weapons. What follows are the primary facets to this new deal for "peace" that is supposed to thwart Iran:
1. To Egypt - TWENTY Harpoon II anti-ship cruise missiles
How many military ships does Iran have??
2. To Egypt - FOUR missile boats
3. To Egypt - FOUR-HUNDRED FIFTY Hellfire anti-tank missiles
4. To Egypt - ONE-HUNDRED FIFTY F-16 jet engines to Egypt
5. To Saudi Arabia - TWO THOUSAND+ anti-tank missiles
6. To Jordan - ONE THOUSAND+ anti-tank missiles
7. To Jordan - ONE-HUNDRED SIXTY missile launchers with night vision
8. To United Arab Emirates - ONE THOUSAND laser guided smart bombs
9. To United Arab Emirates - EIGHT HUNDRED one ton bombs
10. To United Arab Emirates - FOUR HUNDRED "bunker buster" bombs
11. To Morocco - TWENTY FOUR F-16's
12. To Israel - N O T H I N G but a threat from Rahm "Sabbatai Zevi" Emanuel
Maybe he really is a Muslim.
