I hope that this is just another internet
rumor ,but if there's any validity to it, then we may be looking at a possible expansion of ME war to Iran and Syria (i.e. if the Chineese don't cancel our credit card). Agencies and bureaucracies sometimes reveal future Administration polices and congressional legislation by the training they give their employees prior to implementation. You'll see training for a particular thing and, lo and behold, legislation is passed and the trained personnel is ready. I suspect that this also applies to our institutions of higher education- grants, student co-ops, etc.- that may have a vested interest. At any rate, I believe that this- if it's true- is worthy of note and verification by our news media that watches out for us.
