And here's the latest from the AFP's War Wire.

The appointment of Israeli Air Force commander Dan Halutz as chief of staff is fueling speculation that the Israelis may be preparing a contingency plan for an air strike on Iran.

The Russians are developing a nuclear weapon capable of breaking through any defensive system in the world.

President Bush has nominated Admiral Michael Mullen to replace Admiral Vern Clark as Chief of Naval Operations. Considering Admiral Clark was the CNO when I started with the Navy in September of 2000, I'd say it's about time.

China is geared to increase military spending by nearly thirteen percent this year. Not good.
