A Busy Day In The Middle East

On the good news side: Chemical Ali has been captured. It actually happened several days ago, but they waited to announce until his identity was confirmed. Joining him in captivity is one of the senior members of the Fedayeen, who was caught with an explosives shopping list and an apparent list of targets for assassination. There have also, apparently, been a couple of other bits of good news, though less lofty. Seems the people may be helping nail these people, and that is a good sign.

On the about time side: Israel took out a top Hamas leader with a military strike today. Hamas and IJ, of course, claims that this ends the cease fire and removes them from having to do anything for or with the Roadmap. Gee, I thought that most reasonably intelligent and sane people would have thought that the cease fire ended when they bombed a bus full of children. Then again, to them that doesn't count since they were only Israeli's and Americans...

There is a lot more, so go to the right, check out Fox and Sky News, and keep your eyes open. I will not be blogging a lot today, but more on that soon.
