The US Army’s long tail in danger of being chopped off? Pat Lang points to the dangers of Iranian sponsored guerrilla attacks on US supply lines running from Kuwait to Iraq (after Hezbollah’s demonstration of small unit performance in Lebanon, this should be taken very seriously)
The vulnerable line of supply to US troops in Iraq.

Britain dramatically broke ranks with George Bush last night over the Lebanon crisis, publicly criticising Israel’s military tactics and urging America to ‘understand’ the price being paid by ordinary Lebanese civilians.

Do you know that Israel is engaged in ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon? Israel has ordered all the villagers to clear out. Israel then destroys their homes and murders the fleeing villagers. That way there is no one to come back and nothing to which to return, making it easier for Israel to grab the territory, just as Israel has been stealing Palestine from the Palestinians.
Do you know that one-third of the Lebanese civilians murdered by Israel’s attacks on civilian residential districts are children? That is the report from Jan Egeland, the emergency relief coordinator for the UN. Considering how often (almost always) Israel misses Hizbollah targets and hits civilian ones, one might think that Israeli fire is being guided by US satellites and US military GPS. Don’t be surprised at US complicity. Why would the puppet be any less evil than the puppet master?
Of course, you don’t know these things, because the US print and TV media do not report them.
By Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.

Now that China is set to eclipse the US in energy, food, and resource consumption with the inevitable huge increases in global warming, capitalists are suddenly getting real interested in being green. Y’see, not only will China coming online big time spike global warming, if you do the math, at the current piggish comsumption levels, there simply won’t be enough to go around. (emphasis added.)
From the latest Viridian Design newsletter, #469.
Have you noticed America’s “national heat wave” this week? It’s actually a global heat wave, but Americans have become too nationalistic to notice.
Some people don’t believe that big business is seriously worried about climate change.
Goldman Sachs.
The entire G-8 Summit, except for, you know, George:Why is business getting worried? Because the Chinese are holding the planet’s feet to the fire. If it were a matter of reforming themselves, they wouldn’t be so eager, but the Chinese are changing the planet’s growth curves at calamitous speed. With the Chinese at the front table, the world simply can’t live in the way the G-8 lived in the 20th century. It isn’t physically possible and won’t go on. To kill the planet while you are getting rich == that’s one thing. But to kill the planet while the *Chinese* are getting rich? That just doesn’t stand to reason!
There are two ways out of this conundrum: a Jared Diamond-style global collapse, or a radically new world industrial where even the likes of Wal-Mart are cybergreen. And given that Wal-Mart is a major Chinese importer, Wal-Mart is getting all interested.

A student at the University of Central Florida is accused of setting a fire on campus as a way to meet women.
He was arrested and booked for arson. Maybe the arresting officer was a woman…
