Iran

New York Times: Interesting article that looks at the problem of dealing with Iran, how to cut off its aim of developing a nuclear bomb and the different methods that can be used from Economic to the last resort of Military. Of course for the Times it cant help itself, it wants to compare Iran to the old USSR thus the policy of containment. Don't recall any Soviet Leader stating he wanted to remove Israel from the face of the earth. Poor Times so sold out.


WSJ
: A very critical view of the Bush policy via Iran. A lot of tough talk but not a lot of action. This has gone on for years. The Editorial States the following, " If the President believes half of what he and his Administration have said about Iran's behavior, he has an obligation to do whatever it takes to stop it. " As I have predicted the USA will attack Iran within the year.


New York Times
: Poor NYT, one the one hand it can see Iran is a problem but in its hearts of heats it does not want to do anything, sole answer further talks, what does it think Europe as been doing for years. How a great Paper has fallen.

Iraq

Some interesting articles that have caught my eye:

The Politico: Argues that the Democrats could do more to end the war if not in fact but in symbolic gestures. Simple reason they don't they don't have the votes and they could lose votes. They would like to keep Congress in the next election. One does does hear the embers of the 1960s generation, the ones that never got over the fact that they got it wrong.


The Politico
: How the Democrats have failed to move the Republicans on Iraq. When you sell your soul to the left don't expect any sympathy, your not going to get any from VIEWS.

Rather Again!! Part 1

New York Post: In the UK News Anchors don't give their own views on international events or on the whole critical of those that have had their jobs. It seems theses rules don't apply to Katie Couric, of late she has been critical of President Bush and of Dan Rather. When your not No 1 in the news ratings I guess you have to take cheap shots to get some press attention.

New State Poll

CNN: Has a new poll in the State of New Hampshire, Romney is still leading but only by 1% point from Giuliani, the state polls are catching up with the national polls. McCain is back with a jump of six points. If Iraq can be turned around, and McCain is seen as one of the reasons, see McCain coming back, he does not have a lot of time, but still enough to turn things around in his campaign.


Here is the Poll:

Rather Again!!

It seems that Dan Rather is out to annoy everyone from CBS to Presidents and Ex - Presidents. In a recent interview he seems to have given the impression that he wants to have current President George W. Bush and his father to be a witness's in his law suit against CBS. Has Dan the man lost the plot, what next Karl Rove!!
