Donald Rumsfeld - US Defence Secretary under Bush 43

The Hill: Reports on the new autobiography by the former Bush 43 Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the former Secretary attacks the management style of NSC Advisor Condi Rice and those that state that Bush Administration officials lied the US in to the Iraq War. This will be an interesting read folks, Mr Rumsfeld is without doubt the most controversial US Defence Secretary since the Vietnam War. One can guess the Liberals from the New York Times will look for something to attack former Secretary, one should not expect nothing else from the bloated liberal New York Times.
　

Egypt NOW

Have been watching the developments in Egypt with interest, one can see that as a news story its going down the pecking order, at the end of the day in a revolution you have to have a result one way or another, so far, its still a Mexican standoff, the Mubarak Government is giving concessions but not enough for the protesters in Liberation Square and the West in honesty just wishes it would go away, from the Oval to Number 10 they can not afford another Iran 1979.

Guardian: Reports that the Muslim Brotherhood have given President Mubarak a week to resign. The more the radical elements come in to play the more the West will want the Army of Egypt to take control, the Army has to much to lose just to give up power, the US might say it wants transfer of power to Democracy, but in reality it wants a transfer that keeps Western interest are they are now, from Israel to the War on Terror. One has take one’s had off to Mubarak, he has played the protesters, they will get tired sooner or later, they have to eat, the West just wants peace in the region, and a symbolic Egypt that has the spin of Democracy but with the Army in charge.

Lady Thatcher Film

Telegraph: Reports on the first picture stills to come out of the production, the film will deal with how Lady Thatcher dealt with the Falklands War. As the great Lady is being played by a movie great in the shape of Meryl Streep one will withhold judgement on the film, as long as its not some left wing Guardian hatched job one will wait to review the film before passing comment.

Polls and Past Presidents

Gallup: Has a great political tool to look at how past Presidents compare when compared to President Obama. Can you read the tea leaves, can you predict 2012.
