Bombing Tripoli - Libyan Front

Guardian: Reports on the bombing of Tripoli this afternoon. In less NATO gets lucky and takes out Colonel Gaddafi this cant go for months, thus the Allies in the shape of the UK and France should request that the rebels request a limited ground operation by the Allies. This would end the War in weeks if not days. Otherwise Colonel Gaddafi will just wait the Allies out. That would be a Gaddafi win and that is not something the Oval, No.10 or Paris can afford to be the final result.

Vote YES on AV and you get A = B'Stard

Daily Mail: Reports how the No Campaign has showed how the Rt Hon Alan B'Stard could come back in to power if you VOTE YES on AV. This is quite fun and a very good move by the No Campaign, the character of Alan B’stard on TV was fun but you might not want him in power till the end of time. Thus folks if you don’t want politicians of any party to decide who will be the next government you should vote NO in the AV vote. The first past the post system is not perfect, it gave us Tony Blair after all, but its Democracy folks.

Misurata under Threat of Massacre

Telegraph: Reports from rebels in Misurata in the West of Libya that it faces being massacred by forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi. This folks does bring back the memory of Bosnia in the 1990s, the Clinton Administration waited years to take action and thousands died. The Obama Administration wants to remove the Gaddafi Regime but it does not want to do the heavy lifting, well folks someone has to tell POTUS he wanted to be President and leader of the West, well elections have consequences, the World does not work according the World view of OBAMA, the protesters in Iran after the stolen election didn’t get any help from President Obama, he thought he could talk to Tehran, thus Obama barely said word, then he sold out the Czech Republican and Poland to get a fresh relationship with Russia, that did the West a lot of good, NOT. If POTUS does not get re-elected in 2012 does he want Libya to be added to the dishonour roll of his Foreign Policy. Thus time for POTUS to send back in the US Air Force, and also with the UK and France send in ground troops to end this War, as the Bay of Pigs or Iran - Contra showed at the end of the day, a quite arms length War never ends well for the Oval.

Bay of Pigs - Chronology

NSA: See how a plan can go wrong when politicians want a quite War, the failure of the Bay of Pigs is down to President Kennedy, he didn’t want a World War Two operation, he wanted a covert arms length operation, in many respects JFK created his own failure.

Bay of Pigs and JFK

BBC News: Reports on the anniversary of the failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs by CIA trained Cubans. This was a major failure for the young Kennedy Administration, the plan pre - dated the election of President Kennedy but he had given the green light for the CIA to follow through under the Kennedy Administration. After the failure of the Bay of Pigs, President Kennedy and his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy increase pressure on the CIA to get Castro, in the end in pure political terms Castor won, both Kennedy brothers were assassinated and it was ill health that forced Castro from power at the end. But if you going to understand JFK and RFK you have to understand the Bay of Pigs and its consequences.
