#2 "Hey -- lookit this! I'm bluffing!"

This article wants serious snark, and I'm not up to it. A bathroom halfway renovated is calling.

#3 "In another 8-10 years we'll have also stockpiled the will to use them"

Snark of the day with oak-leaf cluster.

#5 Easy enough to redeploy against hydro facilities, which WILL shift national priorities.

#6 So you set them back and if they keep trying to make a nuke you set them back again. Am I missing something? Oh, yeah. Baraq wants them to have a nuke.

#9 Mathematically, minus 1 is close to zero. I'm expecting Jawn to wave an agreement paper in the Neville tradition by Wednesday this week.

#11 Kissinger and Nixon proved that a couple of well placed bombs done enough times will change the tenor of a negotiation if the opposing side is recalcitrant.

I say we bomb them NOW and then ask them if they want to reconsider a few of the terms they are balking at.

#12 BIGNEWSNETWORK ARTIC = argued that, more likely than not, the BUNKER-BUSTERS taint gonna be enuff to stop or destroy Iran's Nucprogs, or stop or destroy it completely.

Read, US OR US-LED MAJOR GROUND INVASION STILL NEEDED.

* TOPIX > [BreitBart] OBAMA: GETTING A BAD NUCLEAR DEAL AT ANY PRICE.

The US is SSSSHHH ... PCCCCCCC the "tip-of-the-spear" in setting up Anti-US OWG-NWO where the US-N-Only-the-US must unilaterally retreat or fall back around the World + give up its "Sole" Superpower authority-n-influence, etc. so that RUSSIA, CHINA, + IRAN, ETAL CAN RISE TO "US-STYLE", PAR, ONE-OF-MANY OWG CO-SUPERPOWERHOOD + COMPETITION IN THE NAME OF OWG-NWO + WORLD/GLOBAL PEACE ... ...

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG???

["GUAM WILL CAPSIZE", CELINE DION'S "TITANIC" THEME, + USN BB USS OKLAHOMA here].

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > CHINA WILL [ANDOR ALREADY HAS] REPLACE THE US AS GLOBAL POWER [SAYS THE WORLD] - US NEWS.

* JAPAN TIMES [old = repost] > CHINA'S INDIAN OCEAN STRATEGY.

ARTIC = denotes that ... ...
> Maritime Domain [East Asia, World Oceans] IS CENTRAL TO XI JINPING'S GREAT-POWER AMBITIONS FOR CHINA.
> CHINA WANTS TO BE ITS OWN LEADER + PRINCIPAL, N-O-T A FOLLOWER OR PARTNER IN US-CREATED GLOBAL GOVERNANCE = OWG-NWO.
