Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pledged Thursday to invest US$1 billion (€710 million) in Bolivia over the next five years to help the poor Andean nation tap its vast natural gas reserves, extract minerals, generate more electricity and fund agricultural and construction projects.

Isn't that what we did to the Middle East?

I guess the Monroe Doctrine is out the window.

Yeah, and I'll match that billion.

Neither one of us will actually pay up.

One has to wonder how that plays domestically for the mullahs.

My bet: Iran doesn't have a "billion" to pledge. Their current funding of their nuclear project, trouble in Afghanistan & Iraq, support for Hizballah is already straining a fragile economic system. Ahmadinejad tells big fibs. Imagine that.

SnakeSpit,

One of the several money quotes:

Thus the Great Iranian Freak-Out - for this means Iran is just as nakedly defenseless as Syria. I can tell you that there are a lot of folks in the Kirya (IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv) and the Pentagon right now who are really enjoying the mullahs' predicament. Let's face it: scaring the terror masters in Tehran out of their wits is fun.

Could "thinking outside the box" be code for the US development of these?

So what does Kneehighjihad get in return?

Will the money be counterfeit, like Al-Qeuada etc. was handing out for "aid relief"?

$1b to develop a natural gas industry? Ha! Better add some zeros to that check Mahmoud. And, sorry, we don't accept Iranian Rials

re: #20 gymnast

Yes, and hopefully accurate!

What's a billion $ (over 5 years) nowadays? Next to nothing when it comes to large infrastructure projects. It's not even a dinky little pipeline, and definitely not a new natural gas industry. Could grow a lot of poppies, though. Besides, Iran can't even pay its overdue Russian nuclear construction bills, so construction has stopped. Looks like more Iranian hot air to me.

re: #32 gymnast

/I actually read that recently but I can't remember where

All we need to do to turn Mexico against Ahmadinejad is to educate them how Muslims reject Jesus's entire message but then claim when its convenient that they actually revere him as a Prophet. Thats a douple whopper with cheese. The Koran says that all of the key points of the New Testament are a lie.

Islam says that Jesus was not the Son of God. They reject his main themes of love your enemy and treat others how you want them to treat you. Those central themes of Christianity are completely absent from the Koran. They say he did not die on the Cross nor did he rise from the dead. And they have this notion that he started speaking and preaching the minute he was born.

Islam mocks Jesus. Thats the truth and thats what our Mexican neighbors need to know. They spit out the food and then say they love the way it tasted. Nonsense.

Evo Morales in his recent speech at the UN -which funnily was practically not advertised- said the best thing I ever heard Evo saying:
He demanded that the UN nations leave American soil.
(American as for the USA).

Let them move to Bolivia.
Or better still, Zimbabwe, freeing all American soil (as in the Continent) of their leperous ( how about that?) presence.

For once I was in big agreement with Evo.

That is what I find particularly sickening about this mess.

The more Iran and Russia agitate, the higher the price of oil, the more their income, and the more mischief they can afford to perpetrate.

Its truly a sorry state of affairs.

Mich-again
Mexico is just fine vis-a-vis muslims. Mexico doesn't have a clue what muslims are and how they live and what they think. Mexico actually doesn't give a hoot about muslims as they are completely off the scope of the Mexican mind.
Ahmadinejad is as well known in Mexico as Pedro Perez is in the USA.

*Pedro Perez is a name i just made up :p

Leave it this way. It's better.

The few bits of knowledge about islam Mexicans get are 90% very negative: "Another bomb was set by muslims, etc.etc."
By the way, the media here always refers to AQ as terrorists, and most of the time when islamic terrorism is involved, they are called that: terrorists.

;)

re: #32 gymnast

Also, allegedly Saddam Hussein was deliberately not releasing the maximum amount of oil into the market that he could to cause short term panic spikes in price that he could exploit with derivatives

Its effectively insider commodity trading (like in that Movie "Trading Places"), just on a global scale.

Where is he getting a billion dollars?

That's been gospel in my family for as long as I can remember.

John Bolton earned my permanent admiration when he said "You could take the top ten floors off that building and it wouldn't make a bit of difference", because it's exactly the sort of thing my old man would say. I have to wonder if it's because of where he grew up, because now that I look at a map, my father was born & raised maybe 100 miles north of Baltimore.

Also worth mentioning that Russia is in a bad demographic slide right now.

The population is aging, and reproducing nowhere near replacement, so the native Russian population is decreasing.

Furthermore, Russian longevity is actually decreasing with the average current male Russian lifespan only 58 years, and dropping.

Seriously, with Castro dying in Havana, and Hugo being a big, fat dumbass who thinks he can run a land-locked South American nation like an island in the middle of the shark-infested Caribbean, Latin America's Castroites need something to hold on to. But will it be enough?

Ever play checkers with someone and watch them suddenly take one piece and hop it practically across the board, taking out a bunch of your pieces? That's the feeling I am getting here is about to happen:

Castro is going to die. US intelligence has been preparing for this for almost 50 years. Our first inkling of these events came the evening after Bush had breakfast at Versailles in Miami. Almost as if we are rubbing Cuba's nose in the fact that we know a lot of things they wish we didn't.

Ahmanutjob is betting on the Left against President Bush. How did that work out for Saddam, again...? Hell, ever notice the folks who try to bet against Bush end up losing their shirts (if they are lucky)? I would NOT want to play poker against that man. Yet it seems some folks can't resist.

Ehud Olmert, a manly man who dressed in drag (and oh, never ask a manly man about any escapades in drag!) to help whack a terrorist has been uncharacteristically nice to the undeserving Palestinians... almost as if he was avoiding the war now for the war later. Is he?

Israel seems to have made a very loud demonstration of exactly how easy it would be for the Israeli or US Air Force to laugh at Syrian and Iranian air defense and countermeasures, and bomb whatever they damned well please. Will the message sink in---or will it have to be pounded in?

...interesting times.

I'm all for it, but it wouldn't get us off of foreign oil. Off the tope of my head, I think it's only estimated to have about 2,000,000,000 barrels (it would allow us to cut back 10% or so on imports for 20 years).

No, no you wouldn't.

And yes, he is know for drawing his opponents in.

GWB: HBS MBA

President George W. Bush is the very first President to hold a Masters Degree in Business Administration. Even better (or worse, depending on your perspective), his MBA is from Harvard Business School,

The very first lesson drummed—into new students, as they file into the classrooms of Aldrich Hall, is that management consists of decision—making under conditions of uncertainty. There is never perfect information, and decisions often have to be made even when you'd really prefer to know a lot more. Given this reality, students are taught many techniques for analyzing the data which is available, extracting the non—obvious facets, learning how read into it the reasonable inferences which can be made, while quantifying the risks of doing so, and learning the costs and value of obtaining additional data.

One final note on George W. Bush's management style and his Harvard Business School background does not derive from the classroom, per se. One feature of life there is that a subculture of poker players exists. Poker is a natural fit with the inclinations, talents, and skills of many future entrepreneurs. A close reading of the odds, combined with the ability to out—psych the opposition, leads to capital accumulation in many fields, aside from the poker table.

By reputation, the President was a very avid and skillful poker player when he was an MBA student. One of the secrets of a successful poker player is to encourage your opponent to bet a lot of chips on a losing hand. This is a pattern of behavior one sees repeatedly in George W. Bush's political career. He is not one to loudly proclaim his strengths at the beginning of a campaign. Instead, he bides his time, does not respond forcefully, a least at first, to critiques from his enemies, no matter how loud and annoying they get. If anything, this apparent passivity only goads them into making their case more emphatically.

Cattt
So we witness another step in the sick convergence between communism and islam. The closeness of Iran with Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador is not really surprising if we look at the script.
It's one more step in their plan.

It is interesting to note that some South American countries with leftist parties in power don't care much for the muslims and those include Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Brazil.
The four are each one of them more important than either Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua or Ecuador.

Perhaps only Venezuela is more important than Uruguay in those two groups. And just because it is 25 million vs 4 million people.

For some reason I'm not too concerned about an alliance between Iran and Bolivia.

Bolivia is landlocked. Even if they did develop natural resources, it'd be very difficult to export them for profit. The country has been backward for centuries, and billion petro-dollars from Iran won't change that -- I see it as money being wasted. Better for Iran to waste their cash trying create an ally from scratch than to use the same money to build weapons and missiles.

As for Venezuela, DinnerJacket and Chavez are already butt blow bosom buddies. They're riding high now on the price of oil. It can't last forever.

"a lot of people in South America really hate their cousins up north."

I spend a LOT of time in South America and I've never found this to be true, except in the media. Central Americans and Mexicans definitely. South Americans in general? No.

The average "man on the street" does NOT reflect the views of Chavez and Morales. South Americans are NOT anti-American. They are some of the last pro-American people on earth.

If Ahmadinejad is trying to form an Axis with an incredibly poor country like Bolivia, the answer is not to dismiss them as people who hate us. Instead we should be focusing that energy on forming our own friendship and economic ties with them.

Disappointing. I can't believe I should even have to say it.

My mental image of you is wrapped around one particular word, so tonight I give it to you so that you may know that you are thought of very highly by me.

Benevolence.

Benevolence characterizes the true goodness of the mind and spirit, the unbiased kindness to do good. It confers thought and regard for the welfare of other people, and finds expression in sympathy and kindly gentleness and compassion, with charitableness and kindness. It is the expression of agape love (greek word for unconditional love).

I hope you are well, my friend. : )

In return for the blessing of Miguel, and to cheer up the Charles, I will share from the Book of Pajamas:

The Hymn of the Unknown Blogger

by Sheikh Abu Al-Pajam*

Maestoso, con spirito!

Nobody credits me, everybody quotes me,
They all skim my blog fortunes.
Big fat headlines, Pithy quick bi-lines,
All get pilfered by baboons! (but not Dianna with two 'n's).

Then they edit off the dead, comments in the thread
As they throw my tales away
So nobody knows how I survive
On no fortune, no glory, and no pay!

*Abu is an Arabic term meaning ...

Now I must have my midnight snack and pass out.

Since the regular Iranian Muhammed al-Doe on the street of Tehran is already pissed off at all the money pouring into Palestine when they themselves are so poor, I doubt this latest spending spree of the Iranian president is going to go over well.

Muhammed al-Doe is the same guy who elected President Imanutjob, and the same guy who fills the streets of Tehran to scream "Death to America." And the same guy show stormed our embassy and took Americans hostage. Let him stew in his own juices.

I've heard, but I can not vouch for the veracity, that THERE IS a plan, a well devised plan to stop certain things right at the border of Mexico and Guatemala. And that there is another plan to stop other kind of things -or the same more to the South- on the border of Panama and Colombia.

The Secret Plan Revealed

(Rove enters the Chamber of Destruction and greets his assembled operatives)

Rove: Gentlemen. Ladies. Mr. Gannon. Mr. Murdoch.

(Various responses: “Hiya!” “Howdy.” “G’day.")

Rove: People, you have done good work. You have tirelessly attempted to undermine John Kerry’s bid for the presidency. And yet the latest polling shows that Kerry may still win.

(Murmured complaints: “Dang!” “This is sooo not happening.” “Can’t compete with a Magic Hat.")

Rove: Silence! I cannot tell you how much this disappoints and angers me.

(An assistant appears at Rove’s side with a baseball bat. He is waved away)

Rove: But now is not the time for fault-finding, or skull-crushing. Now is the time for action. Serious action. In fact, the most serious action it is possible for us to undertake.

Murdoch: You don’t mean ... ?

Rove: Yes. It is time for us to deploy the Doomsday Device.

(Several reel from the table in shock; two are ill)

Rove: Mr. Gannon, please fetch the Device. And put some pants on, for God’s sake.

Gannon: Y-yes sir. Right away, Mr. Karl, sir.

(Gannon exits the room; the anxious conspirators listen as the sound of several vaults being sequentially opened echoes throughout the Chamber. Presently Gannon returns, carrying a briefcase)

Rove: Open it.

(Gannon enters the security code—DAILYKOS—and the briefcase springs ajar. Looking away in fear and torment, he nudges the briefcase towards Rove)

Rove: And now it is time. Time to unveil our most hideous, most perfect plan. (Rove grips the briefcase with both hands) Do you people truly know of the evil that man can attain? Do you know of the Dark Lord’s majesty? Do you know of a terror so sublime that any lesser atrocity—Salem; the Holocaust; our coming assassination and cannibalism of the Pope—will from this point on make you giggle like little girls? Behold!

(Rove removes from the briefcase several sheets of paper. He studies them intently; every eye in the room is trained upon him. Finally, Rove speaks ...)

Rove: This is the frickin’ Doomsday Device? A bunch of bogus National Guard memos? What the hell?

Clarence Thomas: Well, what we thought we’d do, see, was hand these over to the media and ...

Rove: Oh, come on! These are dated 1972 but they’re in Microsoft Word! Helllooo! You think anybody in their right mind will fall for these? Oh, look here; you haven’t even changed the default settings! Why, I could type these up at home!

Ann Coulter: With respect, sir, the plan was to ...

Rove: Plan? Plan? Listen, legs, this plan wouldn’t fool a Kennedy! Or a crack-addicted homeless person! This so-called plan wouldn’t rate a segment on Air America! This plan I’m looking at wouldn’t be posted at Democratic goddamn Underground! This half-assed, retard plan isn’t worth the ...

Hugh Hewitt: Actually, we were thinking of giving the memos to Dan Rather.

Rove: Proceed.

Jewels! LOL! Fabulous! :-)

Hahahahaha Jewels hahahaha ;)

Of course there is a plan. There is always a plan. If there isn't a plan, then the people in charge of making plans should be fired.
