why dont they just keep trojaning irans nuclear plants? cyber war > real war

I realize this may just be grand standing, sabre rattling but what do you believe? http://news.sky.com/home/article/16101407 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is supposedly trying to persuade his Cabinet to authorise an attack on Iran's suspected nuclear weapons programme. The news was revealed by a government official who refused to be identified. It is unclear whether Israel is genuinely poised to strike or if reports of the supposed attack are meant to make the international community take a tougher line on Iran. Israeli leaders have long hinted at a military option, but always seemed aware of the practical difficulties, the likelihood of a counterattack and the risk of throwing the region into chaos. The development unfolded as the International Atomic Energy Agency is due to focus on the Iranian programme at a meeting later this month. The West wants to set a deadline for Iran to start cooperating with the agency. There are suspicions that Tehran is secretly experimenting with components of a weapons programme. Israeli leaders have said they prefer a diplomatic solution, but recent days have seen a spate of Israeli media reports on a possible strike, accompanied by veiled threats from top politicians. Earlier this week, Mr Netanyahu said a nuclear-armed Iran would pose a dire threat to the world and a "grave, direct threat" on Israel too. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was dismissive of the reports, but added: "We are keeping all the options on the table." But the unnamed government official insisted the option to attack Iran was now being debated at the highest level. However, he also said Israel's top security chiefs, including the head of the Mossad spy agency, oppose military action.

Canadians gave the cons a strong mandate to rip them off. what happens next? do they hound clement at question period still? or give up

So nothing noteworthy happened 50 % of the questions wete from conservative mps

France and Germany should take over Greece by force... cannot let Greece take down the whole union and the rest of the world with it This is action I'd be good with

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/11/01/clement-parliamentary-committee-g8.html Question: Exactly who in government approved the pilfering of the border improvement fund, and given the severity of the auditor general's findings, what disciplinary action has been taken against those responsible? The auditor general also reported that public servants were not involved in selecting the 32 projects in Clement's riding that received the $50 million. Question: Who selected the projects, by what criteria, and who authorized those responsible to circumvent all of the normal government funding procedures in place to ensure the prudent use of taxpayers' money? The auditors who dug into the G8 spending were unable to find any of the usual government documentation showing how the projects were selected for funding. Question: What happened to all the paperwork, and if it was destroyed, has the government called in the RCMP? Documents obtained by Postmedia journalists and NDP researchers suggest Clement was personally involved in getting at least one friend hired to work on a G8 contract, and the minister may have also tried to pressure federal officials not to conduct a routine review of G8 spending. Question: How do Canadian taxpayers benefit if a minister becomes involved in nepotism and meddling with officials trying to protect the public purse? As head of the Treasury Board, Clement is now responsible for ensuring the Conservative government adheres to stringent rules intended to get the best value for Canadian taxpayers in all federal spending. Question: Given all that has happened on the G8 spending file, if Clement cannot clearly and convincingly answer all of the above questions, why should Canadians trust him in such a pivotal cabinet role?

Is it weird that I am so pumped up to watch this? (hope its on tv) Can't wait to watch slimy Clement stutter I expect not much to happen, no one is going down from what is said here so I have no delusions http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20111101/clement-baird-talk-g8-spending-111101/20111101/?hub=TorontoNewHome OTTAWA — Tony Clement will answer opposition questions for the first time in months about the controversy over $50 million in G8 legacy spending in his Ontario riding when he appears before a Commons committee on Wednesday. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird confirmed during question period Tuesday that he and the Treasury Board president will testify at the all-party public accounts committee. Clement managed distribution of the multimillion-dollar fund in 2010 throughout his Parry Sound-Muskoka riding when he was industry minister. Many of the projects were a long way away from the G8 meeting site in Huntsville, Ont. Baird has fielded all queries on the matter in the Commons because he approved the spending as the former minister responsible for infrastructure. The auditor general released a report last month finding the Harper government clearly broke the rules when it set up and doled out the $50-million fund. Interim auditor general John Wiersema said further audits of the controversial fund are pointless because there is no paper trail to follow. The auditor general concluded the Tory government kept Parliament in the dark when it diverted $50 million in border infrastructure monies to create the G8 legacy fund. It also found there was no documentation explaining how or why 32 beautification projects were ultimately chosen to receive funding even though many of them were hundreds of kilometres from the G8 site. It concluded that public servants were shut out of the selection process and that Baird approved the projects based strictly on Clement's recommendations. The NDP has since dredged up municipal records, using provincial freedom-of-information law, showing Clement funnelled funding applications through his constituency office rather than his ministerial office. They also show he used his personal email account to discuss administration of the fund with municipal officials. Opposition MPs suspect those measures were taken to avoid leaving a paper trail that could be reviewed by the auditor general or accessed through the federal freedom-of-information law.

Papandreou sp should pull a Harper and pro rogue parliament (if they can) thus putting off the vote of no confidence of his government friday this way the referendum will happen or take control of the country via military...option A sounds better to me though

im more concerned about this http://www.smh.com.au/business/world-business/greece-reshuffles-military-chief-amid-crisis-20111102-1muen.html Greece on Tuesday reshuffled its military chiefs amid a political crisis that could see a government downfall following a controversial decision to put an EU debt rescue deal to a referendum. A state security council under Prime Minister George Papandreou replaced the heads of the general staff, the army, navy and airforce, and discharged a dozen army and navy officers, the defence ministry said in a statement. A defence ministry source told AFP that the reshuffle was previously scheduled and not linked to political developments. But opposition parties attacked the government over the move. "You're finished, hands off the armed forces," said conservative New Democracy shadow defence minister Margaritis Tzimas. "There is no government in the country, one by one its lawmakers are jumping ship," Tzimas said, calling the reshuffle "undemocratic". The other parties also questioned the government's motives. "This heightens the climate of uncertainty and concern among public opinion," said the Democratic Left party. Papandreou's shock announcement for a referendum early next year and a confidence vote on Friday sparked calls for early elections and a defection, leaving the government with just 152 deputies in the 300-seat parliament. The hard-fought deal agreed last Thursday after marathon talks in Brussels included an agreement to write off 100 billion euros ($A132.06 billion) ($137 billion) of debt owed by Greece. With leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies getting ready for a summit in Cannes focused on the economic crisis, Papandreou's unexpected move triggered fears that the EU's rescue efforts could rapidly unravel.

its all over the news... but in case you live in a cave http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15549352 Greece's cabinet has given unanimous backing to a controversial plan by PM George Papandreou to hold a referendum on a EU debt rescue package.
