No, I've excluded the bomb reports - too many of them....It was incredible the number of pipe bombs found throughout the country in the last 30 days. Any volunteers here to keep track of those?
Will do.
Coalition Naval Actions Against Syria, Iran, and North Korea Possible Written by Chris Long Wednesday, July 21, 2004
One thing has become clear in careful study of the ebb and flow of the Iraq situation and the corollary players in the game, Syria, Iran and North Korea: the coalition may be preparing naval blockades against one or all of those countries.
Think about that for a minute: it makes sense and there are aspects of the current Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) naval maneuvers off Hawaii that seem to buttress the assumption that forthcoming naval actions against the new ''Axis of Evil'' troika may be in the works.
First, the timing is very good for such actions. Iran is contributing ongoing support for insurgents in Iraq and has provided sanctuary for terrorist elements on an ongoing basis. Syria is doing much the same and there is obvious paranoia in coalition leadership circles that the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) being hidden in Syria may end up in Al Qaeda hands in time for use in the United States during this year's elections.
Korea has been marketing weapons to all buyers recently and selling large quantities of illegal drugs on the world market for critical cash. Recently North Korean ships have been suspected of shipping heroin into Australia. A North Korean freighter is believed to have dumped a 200-kilo bale of heroin close to the Australian coast, likely for pickup by Australia-based cohorts. North Korea may also be actively marketing uranium to terrorists. If this is true, the coalition cannot afford to wait and find out; once the uranium is in terrorist hands, the initiative belongs to the terrorists and coalition members are then forced into a waiting game for the terrorists to strike, thereby confirming the assumption was true. (snipped)
As noted by the astute Charles Krauthammer recently, Israel has won the Intifada launched by Yassir Arafat and his Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade four years ago and Palestinians have been openly rebelling against Arafat in recent days. The end may be nigh for the Arafat regime--his strategy for creating a Palestinian state is in tatters and the Palestinians are no closer to being an independent state today than they were four years ago. The new Israeli barrier being erected along its border has effectively ended infiltration and terrorist attacks in areas where the wall is complete.
Iran, Syria, and North Korea have every reason to be paranoid about the future: once their outlaw regimes are gone, there are no more such states left for the coalition to deal with. And that must certainly seem an awfully tempting prospect for the coalition. (snip)

A naval blockade won't eliminate the threat posed by the WMD's now believed to be in Syria.
