    REALLY Strange Bedfellows

    It seems strange that our "leaders" have no problem whatsoever with Israel's "foray" (again) into Gaza. But woe to Russia, for doing similar to Georgia. Wake up, Washington! There's next to NO oil in israel! The Holy Grail -- i.e., the stuff to keep your SUV moving, is in RUSSIA! But wait a minute; I thought that not so long ago, Twig's administration pumped $500 MILLION of our money into a "free" election among the Palestinians -- one that ELECTED Hamas!! Verrrry interesting.
