Yemen is already going...............by DJ Elliott
Elements of 1st Armored Div facing off with Republican Guards in the capital.
Tanks facing tanks...
As to Iran - they are scared that their own population will start acting up again.
Which is why they are limiting their fishing in troubled waters to small-fry.
Can't afford to get too much of the security forces tied down in large-scale adventures.
Especially with their ally Syria starting to have protests.
Watch List for internal problems is
Red: Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia.
Yellow: Iran, Syria, Jordan, Saudi, Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Algeria, Morroco, Lebenon, Palistine, Pakistan, Afghanistan.
White: Israel, Iraq, Qatar.
This is limiting the AOR to ME and North Africa.
I suspect this will spread further than that AOR...

You Can't Make This Up, Although I Wish I Did.........by Dan Friedman
Hey gang, here’s a neat idea. Let’s not argue about whether our President is an Islamophile, a crypto-Muslim, a naive sap, a usurper, born on a distant planet, or simply a garden-variety incompetent – any or all of which could be true.
Instead gang, let’s bury our petty differences and concentrate on finding a rock-solid man or woman to send Obama back to Chi Town as a private citizen the first chance we get, November 2012. It’s the least patriots who love America can do for our country. df]#

Ill winds..............from Rico
Metropolitan Japan's gamma radiation readings are increasing. No, not approaching any important threshhold levels, just spiking from normal levels.
BUT any wind-borne radiation from Fukushima will start coming ashore with the seasonal change in wind patterns shifting from 'offshore' to 'onshore.'
- Good news for the Pacific and America's West Coast, but bad news for residents of Tokyo, etc, who will have to (a) try and decipher the official radiation levels being reported to them (and are causing much confusion) and.or (b) decide whether their government is lying to them a wee bit.
The lead/concrete burial of Fukushima may be the only viable option left to the GOJ, but time will tell us...even if they won't right now.

It is great to have the opportunity to make a video in the village with all the community. We will have the President’s Cousin Henry Healy making an appearance as well as local Rector Stephen Neill and most importantly the man who owns the best ever pub in an ancestral home of a President Mr Ollie Hayes! All aspects of Irish life will be represented and we hope to have every one of the 209 population in the video”.
