Oops. Yet another foreign policy 'senior moment'.

Quoted: He warned of a “very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border.” ... Of course, Iraq is nowhere near Pakistan. In fact, Baghdad — the capital of Iraq — is over 1,500 miles from Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad:

Quoted: In May of 2006, as Iraq spiraled down into an orgy of sectarian bloodletting, John McCain had a solution. "One of the things I would do if I were president," McCain told a group of wealthy contributors, "would be to sit the Shiites and the Sunnis down and say, 'Stop the bullshit.'" If only someone had thought of that before.

What does that remind me of.... of yeah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMmtOfBcJ4A

Dude won the US Open with a busted ACL and two stress fractures. Ridiculous.

Quoted: Woods said on his Web site that he will have surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament. He also wrote that he needs time to rehabilitate a double stress fracture of his left tibia, which he said was discovered just before the Memorial Tournament in late May.

Quoted: Will a collection of hedge funds, carefully selected by experts, return more to investors over the next 10 years than the S&P 500? That question is now the subject of a bet between Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, and Protégé Partners LLC, a New York City money management firm that runs funds of hedge funds - in other words, a firm whose existence rests on its ability to put its clients' money into the best hedge funds and keep it out of the underperformers.

Named because its people shit a ton. Literally.

Quoted: This isn't the only place in Britain proudly to wear the Shit– prefix – an unholy trinity is formed with Shittlehope and Shitlington Crags, both in the North-east of England – but Shitterton is the only one of the three actually to be named after excrement. According to the mathematician Keith Briggs, who keeps an informative website on this burning topic, the name is probably derived from a river called Shiter, "a brook used as a privy".

This will be awesome.... when I'm retired.

Quoted: That dream appears to be coming true, thanks to work by the California High-Speed Rail Authority. After getting a green light by State environmental impact assessors, they’ve begun implementation of an 800-mile bullet-train system that will connect Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Valley, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, Orange County and San Diego. Trains traveling at 220 mph on the systems are forecast to carry up to 100 million passengers per year by 2030.

Quoted: More fundamentally though, let's imagine these reports are absolutely true -- and Syria was getting North Korea assistance to build a nuclear plant and ultimately a bomb.

Quoted: This would affect the entire strategic profile of the Middle East -- and would really unleash Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey who would not be able to avoid the requirement of also having a warhead program.

Quoted: If a nation like Syria, emulating North Korea, was trying to acquire the bomb -- then it means that the bar for acquisition is far lower than most had believed credible. Israel's 200 warheads become an important part of the picture as Israel alone enjoys a nuclear, massive retaliation monopoly in the Middle East -- and this fact may be driving rival states to decide that they need covertly to acquire nukes to balance Israel's portfolio.

Quoted: This is a huge problem, not easily solved.

No, the Iraq war hasn't lost us any credibility among governments around the world. Not at all.

Quoted: Syrian Ambassador Imad Moustapha yesterday angrily denounced the U.S. and Israeli assertions. "If they show a video, remember that the U.S. went to the U.N. Security Council and displayed evidence and images about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. I hope the American people will not be as gullible this time around," he said.
