Looks like nobody is with us, they are all against us.

WASHINGTON — The United States lost a years-long battle when Russia delivered nuclear fuel on Monday for an Iranian power plant that is at the center of an international dispute over Iran’s nuclear program. Iran, for its part, rejected the idea that the delivery might mean it no longer needed to do its own uranium enrichment to make fuel, citing work on a second power plant.

I just want you to know, I just witnessed a change in the headline of the Turkey air strike story. When it first came out, it reported the US was deciding how to respond to the air strikes. then the headline changed to 'US-backed air strike". they want to make it look like we backed an air strike agains the Kurds, lol. Kind of like, 'oh well that's what we really wanted anyways'. so we freed the Kurds, and now we are permitting Turkey to hit them with Air strikes. "Foreign entanglements" is right, this is a tangled mess,

The official U.S. line is that Washington did not approve Turkey's Sunday air strike on Kurdish targets in northern Iraq. But the U.S. does control the skies over Iraq and the Pentagon did open airspace over Iraq for at least three hours to Turkish warplanes. It was also informed of the raids beforehand, according to an American spokesperson in Ankara. "By opening its airspace, America gave its approval to the operation," Turkish General Yasar Buyukanit said. He also said U.S. intelligence provided targeting information for the attack. The U.S. may not have formally approved Sunday's operation, but it did everything short of that. In fact, the raids "show a degree of tactical cooperation between the U.S. and Turkey that we have not seen since the beginning of the Iraq war," according to Mark Parris, a former U.S.ambassador to Turkey now at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. Washington may see such raids as the best way to prevent tensions between Turkey and Iraq from spilling over into a broader conflict.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br'er_Rabbit

The tar baby was a trap – a human figure made of tar – used to capture Br'er Rabbit in a story which is part of American plantation folklore. Br'er Fox played on Br'er Rabbit's vanity and gullibility to goad him into attacking the fake baby and becoming stuck.

The stories can be traced back to trickster figures in Africa, particularly the hare that figures prominently in the storytelling traditions in Central and Southern Africa. These tales continue to be part of the traditional folklore of Bantu-speaking peoples throughout that region. In West Africa, the trickster is usually the spider (see Anansi), though the plots of spider tales are often identical to those of rabbit stories.
Many have suggested that the American incarnation, Br'er Rabbit, represents the black slave who uses his wits to overcome circumstances and to exact revenge on his adversaries, representing the white slave-owners.
