North Korea and Iran Committed to US Destruction

Acting in tandem with its Islamist ally, Iran, Stalinist/Kimist North Korea plans to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying an atomic warhead--and hitting the United States.

The Taepodong-2 missile test will rattle U.S. nerves, raise international tensions, and divert attention from Iran's nuclear ICBM program.

U.S. policy-makers are basically blind to the menace. The two Axis of Evil partners are committed to the physical destruction of the U.S. and Israel.

Mexican Police Chief Surrenders to Drug Gangs

Foreign Confidential....

The situation in Mexico is going from bad to worse. A nightmare is unfolding on America's doorstep.

The police chief of one of the most violent cities on Mexico's northern border quit on Friday after drug gangs vowed to kill a police officer every 48 hours until he resigned.

Drug hitmen killed the deputy police chief in Ciudad Juarez on Tuesday and another officer on Friday and left messages on their bodies warning they would murder more officers, police said.

"Don't be mistaken, enemies of Mexico. The decision I am taking is an intelligent one of life over death," police chief Roberto Orduna told a news conference in the city, where violence has reached giddy levels.

Orduna, a former soldier, took over the municipal police in Ciudad Juarez last year. The city saw an unprecedented 1,600 people killed in drug violence in 2008 as President Felipe Calderon's army-backed war on drug gangs sparked fresh turf wars between rival cartels across the country.

Calderon has begun putting senior military staff in charge of Mexico's ill-equipped, poorly paid municipal police to try and clean up forces that are deeply infiltrated by drug cartels fighting over smuggling routes to the United States.

Netanyahu Asked to Form Government

Foreign Confidential....

Israeli President Shimon Peres on Friday invited Benjamin Netanyahu to form the next government. 

After hearing from Peres, Netanyahu, who leads the Likud Party, immediately invited Tzipi Livni, the leader of the Kadima Party, and Ehud Barak, the leader of the Labor Party, to form a national unity government.

Such a government would help Netanyahu hew to a centrist foreign policy and sustain peace negotiations with the Palestinians and the Syrians.

Barak and Livni have said they favor going into the opposition.

Kadima scored the most seats, 28, in the Feb. 10 elections, but Netanyahu has the backing of enough right-wing parties to surpass the 60 seat mark and create a governing coalition.

UPDATE: Netanyahu named Iran as Israel's main threat after accepting the task of forming a new government. 

"Iran is seeking to obtain a nuclear weapon and constitutes the gravest threat to our existence since the war of independence," he said at a ceremony at President Peres's official residence.

Netanyahu added: "The terrorist forces of Iran threaten us from the north. For decades, Israel has not faced such formidable challenges. The responsibility we face is to achieve security for our country, peace with our neighbours and unity among us."
