Stand Back - Be Ready

Well, I guess today is a "politics" blog. Never much good to report...in fact the reporters yesterday at the President's news conference seemed to be more interested in New Orleans re-building than anything else.

However, the revolution that occurred in Palestine vote yesterday should cause some concern. With Sharon apparently brain-dead and no immediate leader without an election, Israel has to be reeling with the victory by Hammas.

What's that mean to the US? I don't know, but I would speculate it will be an additional load for the issues we are already dealing with in the Middle East. We don't have a good feel about Iran burnishing their "sword" and the possibility of a strong coalition between Palestine and Iran as well as Al Qaeda. If we are drawing a line in the sand to protect Israel at any cost, then be prepared. It's coming.

It will be interesting to see how this one spins. What do you think?
