Romney ATTACKS Gingrich - Republican Race


CNN News - Politics: Reports the following on a new Romney Advert in Florida that has Gingrich as its target, the article states the following, “ .….zeroes in on Gingrich as a lobbyist and Washington insider. Although Florida is not as Conservative as South Carolina its Republican voters are Conservative and they have a negative view of Washington D.C and those that work there, thus the advert should recall the time that the Speaker worked for a Government Agency that helped people buy homes, the advert recalls many of the voters in Florida who lost their homes because they could not afford to mortgage or saw their mortgage be more expensive than the house after the housing collapse. One piece of advice to the Romney Campaign, it should be careful that Gingrich does not play the tape of Romney stating that the Government should not help people who have lost their homes or are stuck in worthless houses, Governor Romney stated that the market should be allowed to work, in other words people should be homeless, in economic terms it works, as a political statement it’s a problem. Lets hope this advert was not rushed, and lets see the response from Newt Gingrich.

Florida and the Republican Race


The New York Times: Reports on a bounce for Speaker Gingrich after his win in South Carolina, it reports on two polls that show a Gingrich lead over Romney from between 8% to 9%. Thus folks the Romney Campaign has to get negative fast in Florida, it has to demonstrate that Speaker Gingrich cant win a General Election against President Obama, that his ethics problems in the late 1990s could come back to haunt the Republican Party if he is the nominee. Also it should use the psychological flawed argument, thus the Coup against him when he was Speaker, its time for Romney to show that he wants to be the nominee, time to unleash his Super Pac, time to show he is a winner. The Presidency is not given, its taken, its about power folks.

The Iran War ?


Guardian: Reports the following on the EU embargo of oil from Iran, “ ..agreed on Monday by European foreign ministers, sets a potential bomb ticking, timed to detonate on 1 July. ” Thus folks as economic pressure mounts on Tehran and their local currency hit’s the floor, and the Regime has to use its reserves of Dollars it will have to impose cuts, thus it will have to cut funds to its friends, as the Tehran Regime is not that popular with its own people it can not afford to lose its friends, thus there will come at time when Tehran will start to place pressure on the Obama Administration. The Tehran Regime will recall that it bought down Jimmy Carter by using American hostages as a political weapon, lets recall it has a American hostage sentenced to death for being part of the CIA in the view of Tehran. Also as the article notes it might play the dangerous game it played in the late 1980s of harassing the oil tankers going through the Persian Gulf. The major problem that the US and EU has is the fact that it cant be seen as weak by Israel, if Israel thinks that the West is going to lessen sanctions because there are Presidential Elections in the US and France it will strike Iran. The final vote on Iran is not with the Oval, No 10 or Paris, its Israel, and they play to win.

Western Navies and Iran


Telegraph: Reports that the US, UK and France have sent Naval craft through the Strait of Hormuz. This should make the point to Tehran that any threat to the Strait of Hormuz will not be tolerated by the West. The Strait is of massive economic importance to the West and the World economy, as the article notes 35% of the Worlds oil comes through this narrow passage in the Persian Gulf. The Tehran Regime has threatened to take action should the US send back another Aircraft Carrier through the Strait, well folks lets see what Tehran does, if nothing it shows they are all wind, if they take action it would be disaster for Iran, the US could wipe out any threat in the region. One has feeling that the tension with Iran needs to reach a climax, Iran either does not go nuclear or the Israel and its Ally have to take military action to prevent a nuclear armed Iran.

Embargo of Oil from Iran - EU


BBC News: Reports that the EU has finally banned the import of Iranian Oil in to the EU and frozen the assets of Iranian Central Bank within EU Countries. Thus more pressure on Tehran to come back and talk about its nuclear plans, the problem is as the article notes is the fact that Tehran sells the majority of its oil to China and Japan, thus the Oval will need to talk to China and Japan about getting them on board, since China is the banker of the US with its 15 trillion debt it will be hard to pressure them, but Japan a close ally should come on board. It has to be asked will this be enough for Israel, how long will they wait for Tehran to move, how long before the Oval is informed that Israeli planes going over SA air space have attacked Iran. The clock is ticking folks.
