Tougher Sanctions on Iran

Fox News: Reports that the UN will now place tougher sanctions on Iran due to its refusal to stop its nuclear planning. The sanctions have to be tough, unless Israel trusts the West to force Iran to back down it will attack, an attack in the region will cause a powder keg to go off, trouble for the USA in Iraq, higher Oil prices due to the fact that Iran would prevent tankers getting oil out of the region. The West has a very limited time in which to force Iran to stop its nuclear threat.

Sorry Bill Clinton

The New York Times: Reports that former President Bill Clinton still has issues with the Democratic Race in 2008. This Blogger has to say sorry to President Clinton. Views fell in to the group think of the elite media, that any comment that was negative about Obama was based at some level about race, well what the Obama Camp tried to do McCain of late shows that its the Obama Camp that is using race as a firewall, a force field to protect the candidate from any critical review, the press is even getting negative feed back if they write negative stories about the Campaign of Obama. So again Mr President sorry...

Iran Sabre Rattling

The New York Times: Reports on more threats from Iran, to close the waterways that transport oil to the West and also a threat to American Ships in the region. Iran has not learnt from Iraq pre- 2003. Don't Bluff a Bush White House, and don't give reasons for Israel to attack. A war is coming, the peace before the storm.

New Poll - McCain Leading Obama

Rasmussen: As policy don't do individual polls, but when they stand out, will mention them, this tracking poll by Rasmussen has McCain ahead of Obama. This is only the second poll that I have seen with Senator McCain ahead, the last one was the USA Today/Gallup Poll. This new poll has McCain leading by 1%. The Poll finds the following, McCain 47% - Obama 46%. The negative ads used by McCain has done the trick, bought Obama down to earth, if Hillary Clinton had done this early in the race, a different nominee would have been chosen by the Democrats. McCain needs to pick a VP that will be an attack dog over the Olympics, McCain should start to take the high road while his VP goes on the attack, that is the point of the VP. In 2004 Kerry was not happy that Edwards did not take that role, it could be argued that if Kerry Campaign had been tougher a different President would have been elected in 2004.
