Friday briefs

Our friends the Pakistanis: Get a load of this news item.

Pakistan on Thursday stressed the need for multi-faceted cooperation between Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran on the basis of their being close neighbours, to address the numerous challenges and exploit opportunities within the region.

For its part, Tehran offered to boost bilateral trade with Islamabad to $10 billion within two months, and showed an interest in buying wheat and rice from Pakistan.

They were never our friends. Let’s stop pretending. There’s even a souvenir picture to remember the event by.

Nice treaty you got there. Shame if anything were to happen to it: The Muslim Brotherhood is now blackmailing the U.S. into giving it aid. If aid is cut, they say the treaty will be broken and therefore they won’t need to follow it. Remember, those are the nice, “moderate” Brotherhood that the media kept telling us were running the show.

Sad. Just sad. CNN is now troll-baiting by putting up a post with ten ways there might be an Israel-Iran war, sourced by–get this–“Wikistrat, the world’s first massively multiplayer online consultancy.” Awesome. A bunch of analysts play wargames and earn money as they do it, and this is now considered a strategic analysis worthy of publication by CNN. Well, why not? Their analysts are doing essentially the same thing, only they get paid by CNN instead of whatever structure Wikistrat has. And by the way, most of their ten ways seem to be utter bullshit.

Why the South American Jewish population is dwindling: It’s not just that South American countries were havens for Nazis after the war, and their descendants still hate the Jews. It’s that Hugo Chavez has learned from history that nobody ever went wrong blaming the Jews for anything, so he’s calling his opponent a Jew. I wonder what his buddy Sean Penn would say about that? Meh. He’d probably blame America for being too close to Israel or something.
