uzbek snub

...Washington's rivals for regional dominance, Russia and China, have made it clear they do not want to see US forces in the region on a permanent basis...


This story snuck past the American media completely, days before the hurricane hit Louisiana. I never saw a single thing about this story, which looks pretty frickin' important. Not one word.

Not surprisingly, it was buried in the Asia-Pacific Headlines of the BBC News...the only real source for news anymore that doesn't make me want to retch.
