The New York Times: Reports that Congress is not happy about a bailout for the Car Industry. Folks if you want to throw your cash down the toilet just support this bailout, in fact it is simpler, take your weekly or monthly wage and flush it down the toilet. That is what the Congress has in mind FOR YOUR MONEY. It is time for the American people to Call, Email, Text, Telegram Congress to oppose this deal. I will promise you they will come back for more money later. This is the time to say NO, NO.

Old Man, Out of Time
The Boston Globe: Reports on how Senator John Kerry has been passed over by President Obama. Kerry had his chance in 2004 when he was the Democratic Nominee and he blew it, politics is a harsh business, Obama has no time for losers. Read of the Day.
The Future of the US in Iraq
The New York Times: As Richard Nixon found in 1968, a Presidential Campaign is different from running the Government. Nixon in 68 had promised to finish the War in Vietnam, it was stated in a BBC Documentary on Nixon that his supporters thought he was going to win in Vietnam, Nixon had seen what Vietnam had done to LBJ, he wanted out with honour, thus the 1973 Peace Agreement. Obama ran in 2008 on getting combat troops out of Iraq in sixteen months, Obama is now faced with his own reality, the Liberal Times writes the following, " ........Obama is making clearer than ever that tens of thousands of American troops will be left behind in Iraq, ...... " even if it was possible that the Pentagon can get the combat troops out on Obama's Time Table; any removal of troops has to be done in way that does not allow the terrorists to come back or help Iran. Iraq is close to have been won, Obama does not want to to change victory in to defeat. As stated before, if a Civil War was to develop in Iraq, this would help Iran, if Iran was to take over the Iraqi Oil Fields this could wreck the Obama Presidency. Also as stated before, due to the economic 9/11 the USA and UK have to get out of Iraq but it has to be done in a way that leaves Iraq with a strong government and military. The USA under Secretary Gates will remove troops from Iraq and place them in Afghanistan. Obama was right in a way, the War on Terror started in Afghanistan and it will finish in Afghanistan. Lets hope Afghanistan is not an endless WAR.
No Green Light, War Anyway !
The Times: Reports that Israel could attack Iran without a green light from the USA. This would be a bold move by Israel, of course there are Green Lights and Green Lights, whats on the record and whats off. It would place Secretary Gates in a awkward position should Bush have a change of mind and green light an operation with USA help, would Gates tell Obama ? Have to think that Israel will wait till we are closer to a nuclear armed Iran, if the Diplomacy fails then Israel will attack, an attack could be a couple of years down the line.
Israel and Iran, A Future War ?
TJP: Reports that the Israeli Military is developing plans to attack Iran due to its plan for developing a nuclear bomb. If Israel is going to attack it should attack now, it better to attack with Bush 43 in the Oval Office rather than Obama. If Israel was to attack now it is likely that Bush would support the move and Obama would have no choice but to go along with the move. If Israel waits and Obama tries to have Diplomatic talks with Iran it will be more difficult, Iran will play Obama, they will have talks about talks and the drag the process out, then announce to the World that they have the bomb. Thus Israel should attack Iran now, early and hard, push the Iran development back a few years, this do a favour for Bush and Obama.
