Who's Next?

According to a breaking report on CNN Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, in a Pentagon press briefing this morning accussed Syria of providing arms shipments to Iraqi forces, characterizing it as, "hostile acts", and thus setting up our next target of opportunity.

And as if this weren't enough, he also went on to warn Iranian partisans crossing the border to support Iraqi irregulars that they would be considered "enemy combatants" and would be dealt with accordingly.

Sheesh! First we're told we'd take Iraq in a matter of days, then they tell us it could be weeks or even months. NOW the tail-waggers are growling at at Syria and Iran (which BTW has a much stronger military capability than Iraq) -- does anyone really have any doubts at this point that Cheney, Rummy & Perlie (who yesterday resigned his chairmanship of the Defense Policy Board -- although not from the Board itself -- despite the growing controversy over his conflict-of-interest lobbying for a Hong Kong-based company trying to buy out Global Crossing, a telecommunications firm that does a lot of contract work for the Department Of Defense) have their sights on extending U.S. military domination to the entire region?

You think it's ugly NOW gang, I have a bad feeling we've only seen the tip of the iceberg...
