:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 5.19.2003 ::

From The Guardian UK:
Iraq 'first battle of a wider US war'
The invasion of Iraq was a "single campaign in a much larger war" against the Bush administration's "axis of evil", the conference was told.
"Iraq was not a war, Iraq was a battle," said John Pike, director of globalsecurity.org, an American defence policy research group.
He said now that Saddam was gone, Syria had been "elevated" up the axis of evil, with Iran also in the firing line - with Israel's support - due to its nuclear programme. North Korea and Libya were also in Washington's frame, he said.

No weapons, no problem for Bush
Dana Milbank and Jim VandeHei, The Washington Post
WASHINGTON -- President Bush appears to be in no political danger from the failure to find chemical, biological and nuclear weapons in Iraq.
Democrats are reluctant to challenge Bush on any aspect of the successful war, and polls show Americans are unconcerned about weapons discoveries.
