This is a boardgaming group near where we’re staying on holiday in the UK that has a wiki and an embedded google calendar, both good signs. Only trouble is we leave the UK on the 2nd of December, their usual game night. I’ll have to get in touch, maybe get on their mailing list, and […]

Wednesday, August 16, 2006
A former intelligence officer said, “We told Israel, ‘Look, if you guys have to go, we’re behind you all the way. But we think it should be sooner rather than later – the longer you wait, the less time we have to evaluate and plan for Iran before Bush gets out of office.’”
