Another US drone attack on Pakistan, this time with a death toll of 30. Obama does seem to be following the scenario Tarpley outlined.
It can only be madness to try to surround two nuclear powers - China and Russia in order to extend Anglo-American dominance for another hundred years. This is a huge gamble akin to the banking collapse - except that if the chips go down in this Casino there will be nuclear conflagration.

At least 30 people have bee killed in Pakistan's Kurram tribal region on the Afghan border after a suspected US drone fired missiles at a building used by militants, witnesses and officials said. Skip related content
"Afghan Taliban were holding an important meeting there when the missiles were fired," an intelligence official in the area said.
The attack in a mountainous region called Sarpul, on the outskirts of Baggan village, is the first in the Kurram tribal region.
It comes two days after a missile strike in the South Waziristan tribal region killed at least 25 mostly Central Asian fighters believed to have al Qaeda links.
Abdul Rahim, a cleric in Sarpul, said he saw bodies pulled out from the rubble and at least 20 wounded.
He also said he saw two missiles fired.
Kurram's top administrator, Arshad Majeed Mohmand, confirmed the strike and said according to his information three missiles were fired but he had no details about casualties.
It is not known if there are any senior Taliban or al Qaeda figures among the dead.
The building hit was formerly used by Afghan refugees' children, but militants moved in around two years ago, according to villagers.
"A drone is still flying in the area and smoke can be seen over the area where the missiles struck," said a paramilitary official.
This is the fourth attack since President Barack Obama took office, showing no change in policy since the last year of the Bush administration, when attacks by pilotless aircraft against militant targets on Pakistani territory were ramped up.
The new civilian government, elected a year ago, and the army has complained the US missile strikes are counterproductive and have fanned an Islamist insurgency across northwest Pakistan.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
