A very interesting article in the Times by Gerard Baker, the articles looks at the prospects for another War in the Middle East this time between the USA and Iran. The article points out that oil is on the raise on the International Market and a Navy man has been sent to run Central Command. It has been argued in this blog if the UN cant get a deal that prevents Iran becoming a Nuclear Armed Country and we don't want Israel to take action and start a regional war, as the article points out the War in Iraq is not going that well but a ' targeted strikes against nuclear facilities are a different matter, however. ' After Lebanon bombings in the early 1980s, Reagan turned the ships around and invaded Grenada, is President Bush planning something similar from the Oval Office, he once stated that he wanted to be another Ronald Reagan not his father who lost to Bill Clinton 1992. And in a pure politics it will place Hillary Clinton is a no win position, if she opposed a war with Iran, and it was just air strikes she could not win in 2008 but if she supports such a war the left would never let her forget such a move, politics and international politics combined very interesting.
U.S. News & World Report A interesting article on Iraq and how American leaving would effect the region but also quite negative on the prospects for a Surge.
