A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...
H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.

«o» There's a new tactical arrangement for night raids by ISAF forces in Afghanistan. Those forces are going to be garrisoned at night, with the Afghan "Special Forces" thugs we've trained doing that dirty work instead... Unless of course ISAF forces are called in to 'critique and assist' them.

«o» With two days to go before a ceasefire begins the Syrian rebels have rejected a demand by the Syrian government that they lay down their arms. Government forces are using artillery and aircraft against three cities ostensibly 'in the hands' of the rebels, whose strategic, tactical, and operational base is in Turkey... which has led to this cross border incident:

Turkey: 3 wounded from Syrian gunfire over border
By Selcan Hacaoglu, Associated Press

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey says Syrian forces fired across the border at a refugee camp, wounding a Turkish translator and at least two Syrian refugees.

A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, says Turkey immediately summoned the Syrian charge d’affaires and asked that the fire be halted. [More]

«o» The Iranians have offered to make a deal to stop producing their 30% enriched nuclear material and scale back their R&D efforts if there is an international agreement to provide materials and technology from other 'controlled' sources. For your information, weapons grade nuclear material is around 90% enriched, the Iranians have 30% enriched, and the West wants them to have no more than 15% enriched. The law of diminishing returns ABSOLUTELY applies here. It's a light-year leap from 30% to 90% and would require a HUGE investment of time, money, equipment, and low grade nuclear materials to produce weapons grade Plutonium, and the Iranians simply do not have the resources.

«o» The US has deployed a second aircraft carrier group in the Arabian Sea outside the Persian Gulf and are 'patrolling the coast for piracy' from Aden to Somalia. It's the fourth time in ten years the US has had two carrier groups, which cost millions of dollars a day to staff and operate, in that area.

«o» Republican presidential nomination contender Rick Santorum is off the campaign trail visiting his daughter who is ill. The next Republican primary is in Pennsylvania, Santorum's home state.

Meanwhile the Republication 'Super Delegates' says no matter how you add it up Mitt Romney is going to clinch the Republican presidential nomination.

It's over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.

That's the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party's national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.

Even some members who support other candidates begrudgingly say the math doesn't add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.

"I would be surprised if Romney doesn't get the number he needs," said Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Bob Bennett of Ohio was more blunt.

"Look, Gov. Romney's going to be the nominee, and he's going to have enough votes," said Bennett, who is publicly neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago. [In Full]

FBI Sees American Universities Infected by Foreign Spies

“We have intelligence and cases indicating that U.S. universities are indeed a target of foreign intelligence services,” Frank Figliuzzi, Federal Bureau of Investigation assistant director for counterintelligence, said in a February interview in the bureau’s Washington headquarters.” [BusinessWeek [h/t: RiskIntel]
