Nuclear Syria

New York Times: A interesting article on the attack on Syria by Israel, the NYT states that the attack was on a " partly constructed nuclear reactor ". This is interesting but why does the NYT got to bat for Syria of all countries, it writes the following, " whether the Syrians could make a plausible case that the reactor was intended to produce electricity. " One has to be fair that the article does state that the countries in the region have been quite with the exception of Syria. Does NYT hate Bush so much that will cover for Syria. The paper goes after Vice - President again, because he is a hawk when it comes to North Korea. The paper should stick to getting good stories not allowing its own views to come on the front page.

Downfall ?

Its a new era alright, the Major years are back, who would like to make a sportsman bet ( e.g no money ) that Gordon Brown wont be the Prime Minister at the next election. If I was Brown I would start to worry, all this talk of support needed recalls the days of Sir John Major and he and won an Election. If the Polls are like this after a year, I think Labour will get rid of Brown its harder to replace a Labour Leader but if its a choice between having Gordon Brown as Prime Minister and the Conservatives winning I think the Powers that be will have a quiet word, perhaps Tony Blair requires a Deputy to help him in the Middle East. The Clock has started and Brown does not have long to turn around the Polls. Its a pity after ten years of waiting to be Prime Minister Gordon Brown has blown it in two weeks. But again a week is a long time in politics, we shall see..
