Hipp - Cabale News Service audio CabaleNewsServices audio_podcast audio_misc <strong>In The News:</strong> Betcha didn't know that the US military in Afghanistan is in day four of an offensive bolstered by Pakistani troops into Waziristan. The 101st Airborne is working the Afghan side of the border. 33 alleged 'rebels' killed. Details. The Iraqi oil ministry opens bidding on production contracts for 6 major oilfields. Hey! I thought it was OUR oil under THEIR sand. The oilfield service contracts are still hung up in the Iraqi parliament partially because we happened to kill one of president al-Maliki's cousins last week, and he's not... really... happy... with us right now. More from Juan Colle @ Informed Comment:<blockquote><a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/iraq/story/42641.html" rel="nofollow">McClatchy reports that the diplomatic crisis between the al-Maliki government and the US military over the killing of his cousin</a> is deepening. The US undertook a raid in Janaja in Karbala, which was supposedly under Iraqi military control, without any coordination with Iraqis and killed a security guard, who turns out to be a cousin of PM al-Maliki and the bodyguard of his sister. The US says it was conducting the raid against a "special group," their terminology for a Shiite cell they believe to receive aid or training from Iran. This incident makes little sense on the surface. Why would the US raid the home town of the PM without forewarning him? Why kill this relative? Al-Maliki is a leader of the Da'wa Party. Did the US military suspect that a Da'wa cell in Janaja was targeting US troops in the Shiite south, with Iranian encouragement? If so, it would make sense of why they did not warn al-Maliki their operation was coming. But if this scenario is anywhere close to reality, it raises questions about al-Maliki's control of his branch of the Da'wa, and about the character of the party (which is still run on a cadre basis as a set of covert cells rather than being a proper, popular political party). In any case, the incident looks set to sour Iraqi-American relations even further. <a href="http://www.juancole.com/2008/07/bombings-target-5-judges-in-bagdad.html" rel="nofollow">In Full @ Informed Comment</a></blockquote>The US is going to arm the Mexican Drug Enforcement army... enquiring minds want to know: "Will all of that military equipment end up being sold, traded to, and stolen by, the drug lords?" Unintended side-effects: Amsterdam outlaws the use of tobacco in public places... adversely affecting the hashish/marijuana culture because the Dutch like to mix tobacco with their weed. BTW, they think we Americans are heathens for 'smoking it raw'... <i><b>After the commentary, Quicksilver Messenger Service asks "What About Me?", courtesy of the respective artists and KPIG radio Freedom California Earth</b></i> <big><b>Oh, and don't forget to "Obey"</b></big> <center><img height="228" title="They LIVE!" alt="They LIVE!" src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee241/photobastard/they-live_2_consume_445.jpg" width="445" /></center> <center><strong>--30--</strong></center> <center><hr width="400" noshade="noshade" size="3" /></center> "All The News You Never Knew You Needed To Know ...Until Now."
