In The News:
Thanks this morning to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the news and commentary audio files.

GOOD NEWS! George W. Bush has canceled his planned trip to Switzerland after having charges filed in the country by American lawyers accusing the EX-president of WAR CRIMES. More in the commentary.

No... YOU go away - In Egypt, the government, who for the most part are military officers, has told the demonstrators in Tahrir Square and now in front of the Parliament building as well, to 'get out of the streets' or face a coup, even as Egyptian workers, including the workers at Cairo's port, go on strike.

There are also striking iron and steel workers, textile workers, pharmaceutical company workers, and public employees

Yesterday, workers from five companies on the Suez Canal went on strike. They've been joined by workers from government, sanitation, courts, and elsewhere. Railway technicians and oil workers are joining the militancy today, according to Hossam el-Hamalawy. Factories in Suez, Helwan and Mahalla have gone on strike, and more workers from Mahalla will be joining tomorrow. Strikes are popping up everywhere. Now I'm hearing that iron and steel workers are among the strikers, and that their demands are as follows... [More @ Uruknet]

Good luck with that coup guys, and try not to kill too many of your own citizens before they hang you from lamp posts.

President Medvedev of Russia has ordered a permanent conversion to Daylight Savings Time at the end of March and the change also consolidates Russia's eleven time zones into 'only' nine.

Vice President Biden is talking up a plan for a $53 billion dollar High Speed Rail project. Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and perhaps a North-South connector in the Central Valley of California. Also planned are a number of projects in the Eastern U.S. transportation corridor. The project would be expected to create thousands of jobs for perhaps a decade if the plan 'rolls'... and also assuming there's a Buy American/Hire American clause in the contracts, or else China's steel rails are so much less expensive than ones made by what's left (not much) of the US steel industry.

You can't tell the party affiliations without a scorecard - The House has voted down an extension of the PATRIOT Act IN IT'S CURRENT FORM with the assistance of twenty six Tea Party Republicans who voted with the Democrats. This bill only covers "...access to business records, individual terrorists as agents of foreign powers, and roving wiretaps" NOT ALL of the act which encompasses minor but Orwellian changes to literally thousands of US Codes and laws. You can peruse the bill, HR.514 at opencongresss, and read more at The Hill

The general in charge of our Special Operators and Special Forces has said those troops are "frayed" and the rotation out of the theatre for R&R, currently 90 days, is too short... with the demand for these forces being described as "insatiable".

In OTHER News:

WikiLeaks... Claimed by the UNINFORMED to be a Pentagon/Israeli disinformation operation (NOT!) because they weren't pandering to anyone's PET CAUSE, releases US diplomatic cables showing Israel's regional intentions...

Informed Comment - Wikileaks: Israel Plans Total War on Lebanon, Gaza

The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten has summarized an Israeli military briefing by Israeli Chief of Staff Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi of a US congressional delegation a little over a year ago and concludes that

‘ The memo on the talks between Ashkenazi and [Congressman Ike] Skelton, as well as numerous other documents from the same period of time, to which Aftenposten has gained access, leave a clear message: The Israeli military is forging ahead at full speed with preparations for a new war in the Middle East.

Note: This war preparation is serious and specific, according to the paper, and clearly is not just a matter of vague contingency planning.

The paper says that US cables quote Ashkenazi telling the US congressmen, “I’m preparing the Israeli army for a major war, since it is easier to scale down to a smaller operation than to do the opposite.” [More, including links, at Juan Cole's Informed Comment]

Meanwhile, "Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is convening an unprecedented mass meeting of U.S. ambassadors. The top envoys from nearly all of America's 260 embassies, consulates and other posts in more than 180 countries will be gathering at the State Department beginning on Monday. Officials say it's the first such global conference.".

The Daily Kos is asking the same question you're thinking... "What's With the Unprecedented mass meeting of U.S. ambassadors?" Read More.
