News.Scotsman Blair refuses to back Iran strike Excerpt: TONY Blair has told George Bush that Britain cannot offer military support to any strike on Iran, regardless of whether the move wins the backing of the international community, government sources claimed yesterday. U.S. News & World Report Washington Whispers Excerpt: The main lesson that the Senate Intelligence Committee drew from the run-up to the Iraq war was that Washington needs intense scrutiny of intelligence on weapons of mass destruction. So with all the buzz about nukes in Iran, it would be safe to assume that the committee is deep into an inquiry, right? Well, not quite. Kansas Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, the committee chair, warns that "we have not made the progress on our oversight of Iran intelligence, which is critical." Contra Costa Times By any name, it's civil war, Iraqis admit But by any measure, Iraqis will tell you their country is embroiled in what amounts to civil war. Since the Feb. 22 bombing of the Askariya mosque, a Shiite Muslim shrine in the city of Samarra, waves of suicide bomb attacks have struck other Shiite targets, killing hundreds of civilians. They have been followed by reprisals in the forms of assassinations and kidnappings, with hundreds of Sunni Muslims found bound, gagged and shot in the head across Baghdad and surrounding towns. "We are losing each day, as an average, 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more," former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi told the British Broadcasting Corp. last month. "If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is."

That is why the hawks outside the administration, led by the neoconservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, appear anxious to persuade Bush himself that the current campaign against his defense secretary is really aimed at him. |
