Another worrisome sign of US military escalation

Death follows John Negroponte. Everywhere he steps foot.

Intel chief: Hezbollah may be next U.S. threat

Al-Qaida still worst, but other group may be increasing plans against U.S.

WASHINGTON - Al-Qaida poses the gravest terrorist threat to the United States, and an emboldened Hezbollah is a growing danger, the U.S. intelligence chief said Thursday.

In his annual review of global threats, National Intelligence Director John Negroponte highlighted an increasingly worrisome assessment of Hezbollah — backed by Iran and Syria
— since its 34-day war with Israel last year.

“As a result of last summer’s hostilities, Hezbollah’s self-confidence and hostility toward the United States as a supporter of Israel could cause the group to increase its contingency planning against United States interests,” Negroponte told the Senate Intelligence Committee.

This is disturbing. Very disturbing.

Negroponte here is openly advocating a widening war. This sheds new light on his so-called demotion to deputy Secretary of State.

2. I heard that today. And also some
folks were asking Rice why we aren't going after Moctada al Sadr if he's part of the problem.

I'm trying to imagine how incensed a religion could get if one of their bishops or other major players got off'ed.
