Afghan Massacre - Taliban

Guardian: Reports that the Taliban of Afghanistan have killed 17 people, the article notes the following, " ..killed 17 civilians – reportedly by cutting their throats – in a remote and violent corner " of Afghanistan.

Lets Get Real:

The West is leaving the poor people of Afghanistan, men, women and children to the mercy of the Taliban, murders, thugs, criminals and complete B ( you can finish that word folks ). This will be Southern Vietnam 1975 all over again, who will be on the last helicopter out, and what UK Soldier will die for nothing, and if the West is not about winning in Afghanistan then any death is for nothing, lets get our brave boys and women out NOW, this war can not be won, this is bloody Afghanistan after all, powers never have a good time, one has to feel sorry for the poor people of Afghanistan, after the West leaves the people will be returned to the Dark Ages, shame on the West.

Ed Miliband vs. Ed Balls - Labour Divisions

Telegraph: Reports on policy clash between the Labour Leader Ed Miliband and the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer Ed Balls, the article notes the following on the Ball's negatives , " ..not always consulted the party leader before making key announcements. He is understood not to discuss his future plans in shadow Cabinet meetings. ".

Lets Get Real:

This brings back the good memories of the Blair/Brown feud between 1997 - 2010, if Ed Miliband becomes PM will he as Blair had to to, send spies around to the Chancellors office to see what is in the Budget. One has to say the BALL's has learned his lessons well from MASTER, Gordon Brown, one would think Brown would be proud of him, but for the fact that BALL's has dished his former MASTER. One has to ask who is leaking this, of course it comes from the office of the leader, as in the good old days you have two different Courts that slag each other off, one has to wonder without the firm grip of the old New Labour machine can these splits be held in till 2015. Is power more important to Labour, or being a big fish in small bowl, interesting times ahead folks.

Syrian Update - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports that the Free Syrian Army has claimed that it has shot down a Assad Regime Military helicopter that was firing on a district in Damascus.

Lets Get Real:

One has to wonder how the rebels are getting equipment that can shoot down an advance Syrian helicopter, the Gulf States are providing arms and equipment while the UK and the US are proving no military support, well that is the official line, it is reported from the Turkish/Syrian border that the CIA is stopping anti Western terrorists groups in Syria from getting any weapons, they do not want a repeat of what happened in Afghanistan when the US did not really care who got the military support as long as the USSR was taken down, some of those groups became the Taliban, and then of course we have Al Qaeda, thus the West is being more careful this time. Thus the overthrow of Assad will take longer but it will happen folks, it is just a matter of time, the Russians will support Assad at the UN, while Iran will give military support, neither will risk if they are clever in placing their own troops on the ground, that would be a red flag to the West.
