Apache Helicopters and Libya

Guardian: Has an exclusive, it is reporting on a escalation of the War in Libya, both the UK and France are going to send Apache helicopters in to the Libyan operational theatre. This is risky folks, helicopters can be shot down, this shows how both London and Paris are getting fed up with the lack of progress in Libya. The Eastern Rebels are still stuck in Libya, the Capitol Tripoli is still under control of the Colonel Gaddafi, and Misrata is still being fired on by Gaddafi security forces. At the end of the day folks the Allies of the UK, France and even the US will have to place ground troops in Libya to finish the job. In the US the Oval is coming under pressure for breaking the War Powers Resolution Act that states that US Presidents after sixty days have to get the green light from Congress to carry on military operations, Obama seems to think that the law does not apply to him. Thus Libya could be a serious political problem for the Allies if Gaddafi is still around at the end of the year.

No Debt Restructuring = Greece

Telegraph: Reports that Greece will not seek debt restructuring on its multi billion debt, but will get tougher on its austerity programme. What price the Euro folks, the political elite in Greece seem more interested in protecting tax payers of Germany and France than their own people. If the Greek people don’t want to spend the next decade on their knees in economic terms they have to get out of the Euro. The EU and Greek Government had a choice, it could start afresh with Greece out of the Euro or it could throw good money in the toilet or burn it, the same result folks. This wont work, why should the poor people of Greece made to pay for the lies of its Government. Time for peaceful protest folks, and that’s PEACEFUL, otherwise the riot police should be tough. The elite of Greece have betrayed their own people, SHAME on them.

POTUS in Republic of Ireland

BBC News: Reports on the arrival of President Obama in Ireland. Well folks there is an election next year, so far looking at the Republic side one has to say that if your in charge of the Chicago re-election committee you would have a smile on your face, most of the expected Republican runners have dropped out, and Governor Romney can be asked a very tough question by Obama, why should Massachusetts have RomneyCare, while Romney wants to repeal ObamaCare. The issue of health care and the debt is central to the Tea Party movement in the US, and on health Romney has not stated that he was wrong, thus the Irish trip is a good political move by POTUS, while the Republicans in fight the Oval can look Presidential.
