Robert Baer was quoted in this morning's Star Tribune as saying, "The drift in the entire Middle East is going from worst to cursed."
He is a former CIA operative and the author of See no Evil and Sleeping with the Devil which were the basis of the movie Syriana, starring George Clooney.
He went on to say, "Lebanon is going down the drain, and everybody is looking to the Iraq Study Group for the answer. The answer, it seems to me, at least in the long run, is for the United States to develop alternative sources of energy."
