National Security and the US Election

Telegraph: Reports that President Obama has stated that if Governor Romney had been in the Oval then Osama Bin Laden would still be alive.

Lets Get Real:

This one level is a good political move by the Chicago Re-Elect Committee, on the other hand shows they are worried. On the plus side the Democrats are taking the mantle of hawks on national security, that’s new, its shows that the Oval does not want Romney to have the issue, thus this political strike. On the negative side the Oval must be worried that Israel will strike Iran between now and the November election, this would place POTUS in a tight spot, left wing Democrats would want POTUS to be critical of such an action, but to keep the Oval the White House would have to support such a move. Also Syria is warming up, the Oval does not want to be seen as leading from behind, thus from recent remarks from the Obama Administration it will either get off the dime and take military action or be shown to be ALL bluff when it comes to taking real military action, the taking out of OBL or Libya does not count, one was a single individual and Libya didn’t have the armed forces to fight back, thus a real fight if the Obama has the nerve. The General Election fight is on folks.

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a UK Soldier was killed today in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the “ Ist Battalion Grenadier Guards ”.

Lets Get Real:

Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 410 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 370 in combat/hostile action and 40 due to illness, accidents and other incidents.
