MOD: Has named the soldier kill on Monday, the Soldier was " Captain Daniel Shepherd from 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps " Captain Shepherd will not be the last casualty, the War in Afghanistan is going to long and bloody. The UK should always support our Armed Forces in combat operations, thus always salute if you see a parade and bow your head if you see a military funeral. But our Forces need the right kit, thus they need more helicopters, buy or steal as stated by the Conservative Opposition Leader in the House of Commons. Also we need to send more troops, we need to keep the ground that has cost the blood of our troops, we have a long and bloody history in Afghanistan. Let this be the Third and final Afghan War for the UK.

Obama's Health Care Reform - STALLED ?

The New York Times: Reports that Congressional Leaders are getting cold feet with the Obama Health Care Reform package, the Liberal NYT writes the following on the Congressional Leadership, " on Monday suggested scaling back a plan to tax top earners to pay for the sweeping legislation and signaled a retreat from their ambitious timetable. " It is simple politics folks, Conservative Democrats could not go home with something that costs a trillion dollars, might no cut the costs of health, and punishes those that want to be rich. That the problem when Obama handed over the writing of the health care package to Liberal Congressional Leaders. These Congressional Leaders and the Liberal New York Times breath the same air, they have an elites view of what the great unwashed want and that rich should pay for their agenda. The problem is that the common folks might not want their agenda, Ronald Reagan was loved not because of his policies but because of them, that the part Liberals never get, even in the hallowed offices of the Liberal New York Times. Thus a reform package in stages is needed but not a total revolution when your economic conditions are in the toilet. Lets hope the Conservative Democrats keep their nerve and bring the Obama White House to the real world not some 1980s Liberal Seminar on Health.

BBC News: Reports that the MOD has named the soldier killed on Sunday as Corporal Joseph Etchells. It so sad to see another death in Afghanistan, but even more when you think of the ages of the soldiers that are dying, the are so young, it has been reported that the average age of those that have died is 27, Corporal Joseph Etchells was 22, he had young family. I guess when soldiers sign up they have to expect that they can die in action but it is still sad to see another soldier coming back dead from Afghanistan. Our thoughts and prays are with the family of Corporal Etchells.
