The MIDDLE PATH for Afghanistan ?

LA Times: Reports that the Obama White House is looking at rejecting the recommendations of General McChrytal for a surge of between forty to eight thousand troops and sending twenty thousand or less troops to Afghanistan. Folks this would lose the war in Afghanistan and could lead to the fall of Pakistan, its the weak path supported by VP Biden. Also the gradual approach has been tried in Vietnam, it does not work, at the end of the day you would have about ninety thousand US troops and forty thousand NATO troops in theatre. This level of force would prevent the Taliban taking over the major cities but would leave the rest of Afghanistan in the hands of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, the terrorists could create bases in Afghanistan while also attacking Pakistan. The recent attacks by the Taliban of Pakistan have shown how weak the central government is in Pakistan, how much weaker they will be if the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan can have secure bases in Afghanistan, outside the remit of the Army of Pakistan and without having to fight NATO. This would be the worse of both worlds, a war that the USA could not win but would not lose, also at the same time taking major casualties. If Obama is thinking this is his way out he his making a major mistake, this would make him the next LBJ.

APPEASEMENT with Iran ?

The New York Times: Reports that experts on Iran see the chance of deal between Iran and the UN on its nuclear development, the NYT writes the following, " The analysts cite a confluence of factors...Iran’s internal political crisis to the change in leadership in Washington,..." Also as the NYT points out its checkmate, Iran can make the bomb and the West is willing to cut a deal to stop the process. The above has logic except for one thing, its rubbish, Iran has seen that North Korea gets a semi Presidential visit from Bill Clinton because it has the bomb, the Obama Administration has no alternative it has to talk to North Korea, as the Times of London has reported North Korea can now place miniature warheads on to missiles, thus a threat to the region. Iran wants the bomb and it will play games with the UN and the West, it will hold the PARTY that the Liberal New York Times is falling in to place, no great surprise there, it covered for Stalin. The judge on how Iran's nuclear plans is not the UN or the West its Israel, Israel that is under real threat, thus if Obama falls for this line from Iran the Government of Israel will have not choice but to attack Iran. What is about totalitarian regimes that seems to attack the Liberal New York Times and Jimmy Carter, are they that Anti - American.

Taliban on the MOVE in Pakistan

BBC News: Reports on the latest Taliban terrorists attacks in Pakistan, so far today thirty eight people have been killed by the terrorists. One can almost argue that Pakistan is going the way of Afghanistan, the centre is losing ground to the Taliban, how long before the Taliban of Pakistan get hold of a nuclear facility and blackmail the the secular Government of Pakistan and the USA. Lets hope the the Obama Administration knows the sites of the nuclear material of Pakistan, if the Taliban get control of Pakistan it will be a nightmare for the West and could lead to a war between Pakistan and India.
