What A News Day - China’s Satellite Attack - Iran’s US Weapons — And Big Oil Gets Hosed
You talk about a revolution? Things are happening so fast in our world that it is hard to keep track.
First, China. China , according to military sources at CNN, used a missile to shoot down a satellite. This could pose a threat to American military intelligence missiles. And you thought Star Wars was a movie. This is serious business and could bring on a war of tension with the Chinese regime.
John Kerry made some news. And this time he did not embarrass himself. The ex presidentiall contender called for an investigation of government reports that American jet fighters, “retired” by our government, were sold as surplus to Iran. If it all comes together, this will be a huge story, considering that Iran’s President said that his country is ready for a showdown on its plans for a nuclear program.
The new Democratic House decided yesterday to hose down big oil and its enormous profits by imposing 15 billion dollars in taxes that were handed to the oil companies as a sweetheart tax break by the Bush administration. It’s payback time, isn’t it?
There’s even more on the docket. Mayor Street is angry at Mayoral candidates suggesting that he has not been a leader in the war against crime. They are correct. But instead of responding to the criticism, the Mayor pulled off his usual dodge - suggesting that his administration has done a lot of great things to fight crime. There have been some initiatives, but Mr. Mayor: Last year Philadelphia had over 400 murders. New York City, with six times the population, had over 500. IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE?
AND THAT BRINGS ME TO A PROGRAM ALERT. JOHN TIMONEY IS BACK. THE FORMER TOP COP IN PHILADELPHIA, WHO HAS REDUCED CRIME DRASTICALLY AS MIAMI POLICE CHIEF. WILL JOIN ME SUNDAY NIGHT AT 9:30 ON CN 8, THE COMCAST NETWORK. TIMONEY WILL GATHER WITH U.S. ATTORNEY PAT MEEHAN AND CRIME EXPERT LARRY SHERMAN TO CONFRONT THE NEW WAVE OF CRIME IN AMERICA.
