Brian WoodwardGeneral McChrystal says Afghan insurgents trained in Iran
What has been a nagging problem for the U.S. in Iraq has now surfaced as an even greater problem in Afghanistan. Afghan insurgents are being trained in Iran. In a statement released Sunday by General McChrystal he stated "The training that we have seen occurs inside Iran with fighters moving inside Iran. The weapons that we have received come from Iran into Afghanistan.” Iran, under much scrutiny for its nuclear development program, continues to invite opposition to its government when linked to such activity.
Israeli Raid on Gaza Blockade
The topic that has dominated the news more than any other this week is that of the Israeli confrontation with the flotilla aid boats.

Whatever the Obama brand used to stand for has been irrevocably shattered by the activities going on inside Barack Obama's White House."

North Korea Says War With South Korea Could Begin ‘Any Moment’
