1.AMMAN—Iraq signed an initial agreement to buy natural gas from former foe Iran to fuel power plants, a spokesman for the Iraqi electricity ministry said Monday, as the government seeks to ease the electricity shortages that last year provoked a wave of nationwide protests. Iraq's electricity ministry and Iran's oil ministry signed the five-year agreement for 25 million cubic meters a day.
COMMENT: American forces are due to leave Iraq by year end. They will be most appreciated for bringing democracy to Iraq...at least according to Obama. The above is a perfect example. Looks like the Sanctions against Iran are succeeding.
2.Syrian protesters in the eastern city of Albu Kamal are torching photographs of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, activists said Friday after an opposition group reported security forces opened fire on a late-night protest, killing four people.
COMMENT: According to Obama, these are pro-democracy forces. Really? Looks like anti-Iran, pro-Saudi demonstartors.
3.SAN'A, Yemen — Fighting that rocked San'a for the past five days spread beyond the capital on Friday as Yemeni tribesmen opposed to the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh attacked a Republican Guard military camp in battles that left dozens dead and prompted airstrikes by government warplanes, according to a tribal leader. At least 109 people have been killed by this week's street battles in the capital between security forces loyal to Mr. Saleh and fighters from Yemen's most powerful tribal confederation, the Hashid, which has joined the popular uprising against the longtime ruler.
COMMENT: So far the "arab spring" has produced two civil wars (Libya and Yemen) and two bankrupt countries (Egypt and Tunisia). The aid for these two countries has nothing to do with democracy. Saudi Arabia's
$4B and Quatar's $10B plus $2B from the US are donated to prop up pro-Sunni and pro-west regimes. Lets face it, neither Saudi or Quatar are democracies. The rest (G8), are pledges of aid but no official announcement yet.
4.Hamas is moving its headquarters from Damascus to Egypt, and the terror group is strengthening itself in the Sinai, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee Monday. He also noted that the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Hamas sprung, also has become a more powerful force in Egypt since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak.
COMMENT: Paid for by Obama.....In the name of democracy!
