Al Qaeda is what, I asked, Sunni or Shia?
“Al Qaeda, they have both,” [incoming Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee] Reyes said. “You’re talking about predominately?”
“Sure,” I said, not knowing what else to say.
“Predominantly — probably Shiite,” he ventured.
As the article points out, this man makes $165,200. Nice work if you can get it. Has he purposefully tried to not read anything on the subject of Al Qaeda? How is it even possible not to know this?
Debka, a right-ish Israeli military news source not very well respected, claims that Gates listed Israel as a nuclear power in his testimony before congress. That seems like maybe a big deal. Everyone supposes that Israel has nukes, but as far as I know no major US administration officials have ever confirmed this. Am I wrong? Certainly Israel has a policy of not admitting (or denying) this. Was it just a slip of the tongue, or is this a first step to maybe getting at the heart of the matter in the MidEast? (I can dream, can't I?)
