According to tomorrows release of the Romanian newspaper “Ziua” the US is planing to attack Iran out of Romania, Hungary and Germany. Not so sure how good this source is the only fact that is sure is that the CIA boss, Michael Hayden, was on a unannounced trip to Romania, this can also be read in “Jurnalul National“

Mulțumiri domnului Adrian Năstase pentru condițiile create
Which means “Thanks to Mr. Adrian Năstase for the created conditions” but this “Thank You” can be extended to contain names like Băsescu, Videanu, Tăriceanu, …. and many many many more. All of them leading the country with only one idea in mind, how to get richer … “Fuck you Romania”
