Brown A BIG LOSER!

Telegraph: Reports on a new league ranking of post war prime ministers by the FT, poor Gordon Brown is down with PM Eden the PM behind the Suez debacle, while Tony Blair is up there with Lady Thatcher. Lets recall PM Gordon Brown was the shortest serving Labour PM ever, he spent ten years trying to push Tony Blair out of 10 Downing Street, and once he got there he had to defend himself from getting the chop by various Cabinet Ministers. The near banking collapse was founded on the fact that Gordon Brown ran a lose regulation ship as Chancellor of the Exchequer, thus the banks acted as if in the US wild west, thus they needed to be bailed out by the UK tax payer, thus the present debts of the UK Government and the need for public spending cuts, YES Gordon Brown was the worse UK PM after World War Two, that is some feet folks.

The US and Iraq

CNN: Reports that President Obama will states today that the US will only have fifty thousand troops in Iraq by the end of this month. Lets hope President Obama has to grace to thank Bush 43 and his move for a military surge that was opposed by Senator Obama and then Candidate Obama. That Iraq is more at peace is more down to Bush 43 than to President Obama and the Democrats, if they Democrats had been in power they would have allowed Iraq to fall in to Civil War. If the process goes on at its present rate the US should be out of Iraq by December of 2011, then it will be up to Iraq to find their own way, peace or civil war. The US in simple terms can not afford Iraq any more, the US debt is in the trillions and Afghanistan will be a sore for years if not decades. Lets hope Iraq takes the right course, its between secular freedom or religious rule with the help of Iran.

Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that two UK Soldiers were killed on Sunday in Afghanistan, the Soldiers were from the “ 1st Battalion Scots Guards and a Marine from 40 Commando Royal Marines ”. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 327 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 288 in combat operations and 39 due to illness, accidents or other incidents.
