The business of the devil is to march mankind into doom and darkness.  Dick Cheney stood on an American warship in the Persian Gulf - 150 miles off Iran sovereign coast - yesterday and warned (threatened) that the US would not tolerate Tehran's unruly behavior.  From the Washington Post, "...the US will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, close off vital sea lanes for oil supplies or control the Middle East."

Cheney is following the "Plan".  Take down Iraq,  then Syria, then Iran.  Force, invasion, destruction and death - the United States has become the global bully.  Problem is, reality has a way of veering it's head. Iraq is a hell-hole. We are losing our precious blood, resources and reputation every minute we allow this war to continue.

Listen to our "leaders"! They are determined to get us into war with Iran. How provocative does Cheney have to be to solicit an incident or event that catapults us into armed confrontation with one of the world's largest, strongest standing armies?

This is insane behavior. Any success from Iraq will result from the cooperation of the factions that make up the Iraqi parliament.  We insist that they talk, negotiate, compromise with their adversaries in order to form a unified central government. Yet, the United States refuses to do the same - the Bush cabal is so arrogant and righteous, they make it known it's "their way or the highway".

More dead in Iraq reported today. An entire patrol, alone in the desert, was ambushed. Five dead and three missing.   US losses in Iraq 05.12.07 is 3393
