The networks ran with glee --Brian Williams was on there the first day with "What did Bush know, and when did he know it?"...as more details come out, the report looks less useful to EVERyone except Iran, china and Russia

Evil conspiracy. The State Department is obviously infiltrated. The administration has lost control of it.

You Southern Texas types. Heh. Actually, since the move east to DFW, I don't get that much "seasonal" change. Just some cold snaps off and on in the middle of winter designed to put our immune systems into shock for a month or two. Boy, the people here freak out even more than Lubbockites whenever precipitation happens.

as we saw with iraq and venezuela the neo-colonialist do have a penchant for feeding deceptive and hissy fit propaganda to the sheeples when brown people refuse to pay an imperial tax... what irks these socialists and their followers is that 85% of iran's oil sales are inking either the euro or yen and not their beloved usd.

currently you can only buy/trade oil on either the nymex or ipe and only with the usd... the recent chicken-hawk imperial cluckfest is an attempt to stop the opening of the new iranian oil exchange which will only accept euros, yen and gold.

with venezuela moving to euros... and the recent neutering by chavez of the imf petrodollar recycling in latin and south american... it's making it rather difficult for the empire to export its inflation upon other nations... and a tsunamis of usd notes coming home is another quagmire for the debt ridden empire.

economic weapons grade material and global proliferation indeed...

it's the petrodollar war stupid...

Speaking as a southwestern Texas girl born and raised, precipitation is what happens to other folk, ‘cept in rare circumstances.

Ever see a mud storm? or a dirt storm that caused street lights to turn on in the middle of the day?

I have seen both.

John,

You have to understand that torque is just stuck wallowing in the mediocrity of his country and snowed in to boot. He has to do something to make himself feel better.

<--- added to take the sting out of the otherwise accurate observation posted above.

Didn't know...cool!!

Lubbock... wasn't too far; we had relatives we visited in Lubbock.

National Council of Resistance of Iran?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Council_of_Resistance_of_Iran

The State department lists it as a front organization of a terrorist group.

"The NCRI is classified as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation by the United States. The European Union officially considers the People's Mujahedin of Iran "minus NCRI" to be a terrorist organisation.[3] Michael Axworthy, former head of the Iran section at the Middle East department of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in the United Kingdom, claimed in early 2006 that the NCRI is a "tightly disciplined front-organization for the MEK and deemed them unreliable."[5] Nathan Hunerwadel, in an article published by the National Iranian American Council, described the NCRI as a front-group for the PMOI.[6] However, some top US officials such as Dick Armey(the former House majority leader (1995-2003)) have acknowledged that the State Department wrongly included MEK in the terrorist list from the beginning.[7]"
