Asia online reported Putin had an agreement with the Alytolah (spelling ??) An attack on Iran = an attack on Russia
But most in the US thought sabre rattling and probably still do
Air patrols and now sea patrols - Putin is in as Prime Minister whatever that means in a Russian system of government - I don't know -
Iran is now more confident that ever quoting US inteligence that they are not "up to anything"
But Bush is still saying - danger danger Will Robinson -
So it seems to still be up in the air
What do you think Bush will do next
Shut up and leave it alone ?
Or continue to beat war drums until he leaves office in hopes he can yell see I told ya all so
Or push for an invasion
