A Mossad Operation ? - Iran

Telegraph: Reports on a explosion at at Iran's main nuclear facility, the article notes the following, " Israeli and Iranian officials have both failed to explain the mystery of a reported explosion said to have rocked the notoriously impregnable Fordow nuclear site in Iran. ".

Lets Get Real:

Lets recall Syria in 2007 kept quiet when Israel bombed its nuclear plant, it might be in the interests of Iran and Israel to keep quiet, the Tehran Regime will not want to admit that its site had been hit and set back its work, while Israel would want to keep it under the radar as prevent giving Iran good PR in its mind, that the Jewish State had attacked a Arab State.  On the other hand as the article notes it could be a big bluff by Iran as to throw sand at the UN and the US while its builds it s bomb.    In many respects this is a game folks, just people die in the process, thus the Israeli attack on Tehran's nuclear workforce.  This could just be run up to the big thing folks, an attack on Iran by Israel, with or without US approval, watch those fingerprints in the sand folks, you cant always be sure its not fake. 

Threat to UK Libyan Embassy - Libya

BBC News: Reports on a threat to the UK Embassy in Libya. 

Lets Get Real: 

The Arab Spring and the end of Gaddafi of Libya has made Northern Africa a hot bed for terrorism action, from Mali to Algeria back to Libya, there has been a growth of Al Qaeda linked terror networks, the French with help from the US and the UK is pushing back Al Qaeda units in Mali, the Algerian Government is not in to taking prisoners when it comes to terrorists, it just wants to kill them, even if innocent people get in the way, the fall of Gaddafi has allowed his Regime weapons to flood the region, even the CIA is using Libyan weapons as to help the Syrian rebels,  also it allows the Oval to say it not giving weapons to Syrian rebels.  Lets hope the French can push the terrorists out of Mali, that the tough Algerian Government can take care of its own, in their own way, and that the new Libyan Government can secure the country.    

US and Israel - Frozen Friendship


Lets Get Real:

Folks this blog would bet the house that the last thing that the Oval wanted was for PM Netanyahu to form the next Israeli Government, the Oval will come under pressure to decide, does it want a nuclear armed Iran or is it going to act, if Israel thinks that Obama is in his Neville Chamberlain mode then it will  act, a nuclear armed Iran is a major threat to the security of the State of Israel.  One can assume that the Oval will try to get one to one talks with the Iran, the Tehran Regime will love that, the will play the Oval, thus more time for Iran to get the bomb, either by its own ends or buying the technology from North Korea, the recent statement from North Korea that it would test a nuclear device has two aims, to blackmail the Oval and to show rogue nations that if they have the money they can buy becoming a nuclear armed power.   The next few months could be crucial for the security of Israel and the Middle East folks, lets hope the Oval is a good poker player or people will die if the Oval does not understand the game. 

2016 Clinton, Clinton Great at State - POTUS

Telegraph: Reports on remarks by President Obama on his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, POTUS stated that Clinton was " ..one of America's great secretaries of state.. ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks if POTUS as high poll ratings in 2016 then the Clintons will adopt him, if he is the tank they will stab in the back and not give it a second thought.   As the 2nd term develops and there will be mistakes and even disasters the Clintons, and this means Bill and Hillary will make it clear that if the Hillary Clinton was still around then that mistake would not have happened.  It can be expected that Hillary Clinton at the back end of 2013 and start of 2014 will be spending a lot of time in Iowa and NH, the Clintons will be around Country supporting Democrats, in other words getting their campaign ready for 2016.   The Biden Camp really thinks it has a shot at the 2016 nomination, Biden is that much of a fool, this blog which is not a US Citizen, not done fund raising, would get elected before VP Biden.   The Democrats might be naive, they nominated Jimmy Carter in 1976 but they are not fools, there is no way on this earth that Biden will get the nod, folks you have more chance of winning the lottery, but it does give this blog a laugh to think that Biden is that far gone!. 

Hagel US Confirmation fight - Defence Department

Guardian:  Reports on the fight to confirm Senator Chuck Hagel as the next US Defence Secretary, the article notes the following, " His voting record on matters relating to gay rights has riled many of Obama's natural supporters....appeared to criticise the influence that the pro-Israeli lobby in Washington.. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks Senator Hagal faces a fight on two fronts, from the Obama base for his past comments about a gay US Ambassador and from the right for his critic of the Iraq War, his Iran solution to have talks, his perceived weakness on defence, he was a brave Soldier folks, that does not mean he should be US Defence Secretary, one assumes that Obama wants him to be the point man on any talks with Iran, as to deflect any critical reaction, this might what the Oval wants but its the US Senate that gives advice and consent for a nomination, as the article notes US Super Pacs have gotten in to the action, the article notes the following, " seven so-called Super Pacs ....have been formed to derail the appointment of Hagel.. ".   These Super Pacs will place pressure on the US Senators, those feeling the heat will be those up for re-election in 2014, on the whole the pressure will be on Democrats as they are the majority in the US Senate.   The confirmation hearings will be a blood sport folks, get in the drinks, watch a political bear pit, lets see of Hagel can get through, lets recall Bush 41 lost Senator Tower when he wanted to make him Defence Secretary, thus the rise of VP Cheney.   Actions have results folks.
