No, I think Condi is still a female underneath all of her
responsibilities. Remember, it’s the women who always pay
the price when there is a war. They lose their sons and
husbands or they return home with horrendous injuries. And
when the war is over and they are on the losing side, they
can expect to be raped. The German women in Berlin paid a huge price when Berlin fell to the Russians in 1945.
In spring 2004, U.S. intelligence reported multiple communications between Syria and North Korea, and traced the calls to a desert location called al-Kibar.
The U.S. early info was 2004 and the air strike was Sep 2007

Peshat (פְּשָׁט) — "plain" ("simple") or the direct meaning.[1]
Remez (רֶמֶז) — "hints" or the deep (allegoric: hidden or symbolic) meaning beyond just the literal sense.
Derash (דְּרַשׁ) — from Hebrew darash: "inquire" ("seek") — the comparative (midrashic) meaning, as given through similar occurrences.
Sod (סוֹד) (pronounced with a long O as in 'bone') — "secret" ("mystery") or the esoteric/mystical meaning, as given through inspiration or revelation.
Boot the letter dalet (the Derash) and it spells פָּרָס.
Wonder if Iran is paying attention.
No President with any intelligence admits to anyone how good or bad his intelligence really is.
IIRC, “pardes” is also a Persian word for “garden.”
Yes. Pardes as a garden, orchard, the root for the English word for paradise... all related.
Yep, we all know how secure that is since Clinron's NSC advisor Sandy Berger walked out of the archives with classified docs in his socks and stuffed in his pants.

The U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 threw the whole Middle East into a panic. Iran, fearful of where Bush might strike next, temporarily suspended its nuclear weapons program. Muammar Gaddafi, after watching on TV the capture of Saddam by U.S. soldiers agreed to give up his chemical weapons, end Libya's nuclear research and normalize relations with the U.S. Tragically the news media and Congressional Democrats became a literal Fifth Column, attacking Bush and vilifying the war.

That is the exactly thought that was going through my mind while reading this whole article. Now think of the players involved in such a meeting today.
