BAGHDAD - Hezbollah instructors trained Shiite militiamen at remote camps in southern Iraq until three months ago when they slipped across the border to Iran — presumably to continue instruction on Iranian soil, according to two Shiite lawmakers and a top army officer.
Why do I care?
My long-standing deluded conspiracy theory has Cheney orchestrating a "terrorist" attack on Halloween. The nominal culprits? Hezbollah. This provides W with the excuse to bomb Iran, adjourn Congress, and cancel the elections.
Note: the lead paragraph above makes a point of citing Hezbollah's links with Iran!
Whenever Hezbollah features prominently in news - particularly when it is tied to continuing violence in Iraq with clear suggestion that Iran is to blame - I simply see puppet-masters pulling the strings, preparing us - the U.S. public - for the upcoming attack & W's consequent dictatorship.
Yes, I am delusional.

You'd have been labeled delusional in 2000 if you said when oil was selling for $28/barrel that if Bush was elected it would in eight years reach $200/barrel. Which it most likely will by election time.
ReplyDeleteNothing that Bushco does comes as a surprise anymore. What is surprising is that the American people are putting up with it.
