5 Soldiers Dead

BBC News: Reports on the death of a British Soldier in Iraq. The Death was not through combat. The total of those killed in combat and other incidents now stands at 178. This is the second incident of a soldier dying not through combat, why it has to be asked, the UK will be out of Iraq by next year, the Army has to take better care of those still in Iraq, if there are signs and this is a general comment not on this case that troops cant cope they should be sent home for other duties.

On Sky News a Report that four British Soldiers have been killed in combat. The total of the dead now stands at 132. This War will last a long time and will cost a lot more, what is the EXIT for this War. It can be postulated that the Obama surge of next year will cost a lot more, the Terrorists are on the move in Pakistan, the attack on NATO equipment of late shows that the terrorists have the ground, we have to take them out in Pakistan. If we lose Afghanistan we will face more terrorist attacks like those of 9/11 and 7/7.

Who Next ?

The Times: Reports that now that the Bush Administration will bailout the Car Industry that other business sectors will also ask for money. This is madness on a great scale, we are going back to the 1970s. Obama will make the same mistake as Bush, he will bailout all comers, the West will be in Depression for years.

Feeding Time in Chicago, Hard Ball Politics at its Best ?

The Times: Reports more trouble from President - Elect Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, the paper of record reports that Emanuel had a few talks with Governor Blagojevich as to who should be the successor to President - Elect Obama. One gets the feeling that this is feeding time at the Zoo, who will bet that Emanuel will still be the Chief of Staff to Obama in January 2009. Its why I love Chicago politics, so brutal and to the point, Obama has a government to form he does not need this distraction, Mr Emanuel should step aside while the legal process is underway in Chicago.

LOVE CHICAGO POLITICS !!

Chicago Sun Times: Reports that Rahm Emanuel, Chief of Staff to President - Elect Obama is refusing to answer questions concerning the scandal that the Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was trying to sell the Senate Seat of President - Elect Obama. This is time for Obama to show that he is a reformer, he should inform Emanuel that while this legal process is going on with Governor Blagojevich he will ask someone else to be his Chief of Staff. It has to be stressed and underscored that there is no evidence that Emanuel was aware of the illegal plans of the Governor but he was once close to the Governor so was Obama. Obama can no afford to have another Whitewater, lets recall the Impeachment of Bill Clinton had nothing to do with Whitewater but events outside the original scope of that investigation. Thus Obama has to as Reagan did with Iran - Contra, get a new Chief of Staff and move forward.

Car Bailout in the USA

BBC News: Reports that Bush 43 is going to bailout the USA Car Industry after the US Senate said NO. This is typical of Bush, he has made President - Elect Obama look like a conservative. The Bush Administration has bailed out the Banks, Wall Street, the Car Industry, Ronald Reagan would disown Bush 43, he makes the Tax Hikes of Bush 41 look moderate. It is time that the Republican Party returned to the Reagan Path, low taxes and limited Government. Lets recall that the New Deal did not end the Great Depression it was WW2. If the government run all business what is the point for people to make money or take a risk, no business will be allowed to go bust.

Insurance

What is the point of taking out Insurance for your computer if when it breaks down you don't get much help; thus my absence; all the technical people tell you is that you need to use your recovery disk but you lose all your information. Thus you can spend a hundred quid in a year and all the help you get over the phone is telling you to use the recovery disk. In the end you end up using you local computer store.
