Watch what they do... not what they say

1.The presidents of Iraq and Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai and Jalal Talabani, arrived Saturday afternoon in Tehran to participate in ceremonies marking the festival of Nowruz, the Iranian and Afghan New Year, held on Sunday, the official IRNA news agency reported.Talabani and Karzai are expected to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad separately during their visit.

COMMENT: I am sure they will be discussing us Infidels....

2.ISLAMABAD – Pakistan is beefing up its arsenal of nuclear-capable missiles by embracing China as its new strategic arms partner and backing away from the U.S. This was starkly marked in November when on the same day the U.S. delivered some of the 18 F-16s it had pledged to Pakistan, Islamabad announced it had ordered an arsenal of SD10 mid-range homing missiles and radar systems to equip its JF-17 Thunder jet fighters from China. It was the latest in a series of arms collaborations between the two nations, which view their strategic partnership as a counterweight to a boldly confident India, which has American support.

COMMENT: You are doing really well, Barak. When you put it in perspective, and in light of what has happened since then, throwing Mubarak under the bus on public TV like that might have been your biggest foreign policy mistake so far. Good or bad, another one bites the dust.....and still counting....

3."Defense News" reports that the Indian Army is about to order thousands of Spike anti-tank missiles and peripheral equipoment from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. in a $1 billion deal. Indian Ministry of Defence officials told the magazine that the order is for 321 launchers, 8,356 missiles, and 15 training simulators, and peripheral equipment.

COMMENT:Looks like Israel is being courted by the big boys.....interesting.

4.The Israel Space Agency and the Russian Federal Space Agency today signed a framework agreement in the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem. The agreement, which was signed in the presence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, enhances cooperation between the Israeli and Russian space agencies in the fields of space research, observation, navigation, medicine and biology in space, and research in advanced materials and launchings.

COMMENT: The world must be different in outerspace

5.After building dairy farms in China and Vietnam, Kibbutz Afikim is doing the same thing in the West Bank city of Hebron. An Israeli-Palestinian dairy farm is being built by the SAE Afikim company in a bid to fight the milk shortage in the Palestinian Authority. According to Dr. Ismail Jubrani, one of the dairy farm's owners, producing milk in the PA territories is cheaper and more accessible for Palestinians than buying milk produced in Israel.

COMMENT: Didn't see this on CNN or The New York Times. Must be happening in outerspace.
