Morning Drive...

Some interesting little tidbits from this mornings drive into work:

Al Qaeda's involved....there's a surprise. Didn't I just say something about other extremist groups last night??? Continuing the offensive is simply serving to incite other ‘jihadist’ (though I hate to use that word in this context) groups to come to the defense of Lebanon and Hezbollah. Israel is going to end up in it’s own version of the US’s Iraq with enemy troops funneling in from other Muslim nations creating a never ending reserve.

Here’s a great Robert Malley (International Crisis Group and former Clinton Middle East advisor) interview discussing problems with the let ‘em fight option of the Bushies. I totally agree.

Something’s fishy here, ‘nuff said.

And, last but not least, we have universal healthcare. San Francisco is signing into law the nations first universal healthcare program for citizens of the city. They’re hoping it will act as a catalyst for other cities and states and serve as the first real US experiment in universal healthcare…I’m lovin’ it!
