[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 49110, member: 126"] Re: running commentary on middle east policy and news. Interesting development in the middle east. Hamas is distancing itself from Syria and Iran. Hamas has as much as said they will not retaliate against Israel for preemptive strike against iran's nuclear development. Hezbollah likewise is distancing itself from them at least publically. This is interesting as Iran is/was a major source of funds and weapons for both groups. Of course we'll see what we see... Another tidbit, satellite images show activity around military site where Iran was developing explosives for nuclear weapons program, presumably sanitizing it before they allow inspectors in. IAEA inspectors have asked to inspect that site for a long time. Iran talking with the west (again) appears to be yet another strategic delaying action, hoping to buy more time to move their program along. Talk is nice and oh so PC... what's the worst that could happen? JR [/QUOTE]
