For Careful Processing:

Iran Progress?
Israelis' Onion?
GOP Treason?

The Middle East label has been underused in this blog.  Foreign Policy a more frequent label.  Not sure if the Obama Doctrine has superseded it.  The piece by Juan Cole may seem in jest, but may be the actual reason Israel is so belligerent.  Not to mention the GOP.

Kobayashi Maru

The Thick Blue Line.*

USS Enterprise [!]

[This is about the complexities of progress, metaphor not parody{*}, and boldly going where it is needed to make it so. The "Thick Blue" reference is not to admire the latter's insert but contrast the Thin Red Line with the admonitions of irony in being policeman to the world, not to mention "no win" or re-boots of history.]

** update [It is my view that measured actions are within the President's post-9-11 powers.  Not that I agree with their evolution, but imagine the difficulty in devolving them.[**]  Also Maru translates as "circle", as well as being indicative of a "ship".  It is not so much about the no-win, but more about the course.]

Belated Breaking News!

Tony Blair on Charlie Rose*.
I had caught a portion of this yesterday and was rather impressed until he defended his actions in Iraq. His analysis of Iran is disturbing giving his misinformation on events. As special envoy to the Quartet on the Middle East, I wonder about his effectiveness, let alone his intent.**
