Iran gets its nukes from Halliburton, and other stories

The world just turned topsy-turvy again.

U.S. ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad warned Iraqi politicians they risk a loss of American support if they do not establish a genuine national unity government.
Yep. Just gonna pull out. Aside from the obvious stupidity of the statement - after 2,000+ deaths and all those billions of dollars spent on the country, the United States is not going to just pull out if the Iraqi don't establish a proper government, and everyone knows it. I wonder if the ambassador realizes that the disruptive elements are also the ones trying to get the United States out of their country, and that the ambassador has just handed them a recruiting slogan?

President Bush on Monday faced political pressure to block a deal that would give a United Arab Emirates-based company management of six major U.S. seaports.
Although there is a faint possibility that Dubai Ports, the UAE company in question, will import fanatical Arabs to fill all their dockyard needs, it is much more likely that they will probably hire locals to work the docks. Maybe even the same loyal Americans that currently work there.
More importantly, Bush was unaware of the deal until he heard reports of the congressional uproar, according to presidential adviser Dan Bartlett. Does the idea that the man defending the idea of unrestricted wiretaps because Muslim fanatics are planning to strike, being unaware of an Arab company taking over the New York dockyards, seem - topsy turvy - to you?

Halliburton, the oil services company once headed by the Vice President, has been, allegedly, selling Iran's oil development company key components for a nuclear reactor, according to Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge into both companies’ business dealings.
Umm, isn't this illegal, not to mention unpatriotic? And also somewhat ironic?

And how was your day?
