Middle East Mayhem


By Joe Campbell

Just a typical week in the Middle East these days as the vice president of the United States tries to derail peace talks with North Korea by releasing secret documents involving the Syria-Israel skirmishes of last fall and a ship associated with the American military in the Persian Gulf fires warning shots off the bows of two Iranian ships.  "Simmering tension" one of the section headings declares (as oil prices shoot up $3).

No kidding.

Cheney is still doing the oil companies bidding. I wonder how much profit they have made as a result of his comments and war mongering.
