Zelensky still in Kyiv not Davos - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 3.29pm post that POTUS stated he would meet President Zelensky at Davos, the Guardian reports that Zelensky is in the Ukraine.

Lets Get Real:

President Trump stated that he would meet Zelensky at Davos, this won't happen as stated above, the Iceland mix up and now this! If it was Biden the right wing press would go bonkers, perhaps Trump needs a medical, he is old, just as Biden was in his time.

What if Jailed Reporter Dies in Iran ?

Telegraph: Reports on the worsening medial condition of Roxana Saberi the jailed Iranian-American reporter. It is reported that due to her hunger strike she has grown very weak. This is a test for the Obama Administration, if the reporter dies any talks with Iran are off the table. The Obama Administration has two fronts to deal with, the PR and the policy, if an American Reporter dies in Iran while in custody the elite media will not give the Obama Administration any slack, a very simple reason they could be next if they get sent to Iran. On policy the Republicans and Conservatives will be all over Obama, the President should recall that it was Foreign Policy that bought down Jimmy Carter and not the economy. The release of the torture memos and the confusing signals over the Obama policy has made the President look weak, with reporters held in North Korea and Iran, the movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, the missile launch by North Korea, the threat of a nuclear armed Iran and the latest swine flue news Obama has a lot on his plate. If a Ms Saberi was to die in Iran, it would make any talks with Iran out of the question, Obama cant be seen to award the death of an American Journalist. Thus the Obama Administration needs to work back channels to get the reporter out of Iran, it is time for moderate conservative in Iran to show if they really want a better relationship with the USA. Thus the USA should place pressure on Iran to release the reporter or face isolation and the threat from Israel.

Safeguarding Iraq

The New York Times: Reports on the exceptions to the agreement between the USA and Iraq to have US troops out of Iraqi cities by the end of June. This is a wise move by the USA and the Iraqi government, the terrorists want to gain prestige with the impression that they have thrown the USA out of Iraq. The USA is in Iraq in till 2011, thus keeping troops as a rapid reaction force is a good idea, the closer the USA gets to the 2011 deadline the more attacks there will be, its up to the Iraqi government to crush the last groups of terrorists. The economic recession/depression, Iran threat, North Korea threat, the threat to the pro USA Government of Lebanon, the War in Afghanistan and the threat from the Taliban in Pakistan and the medical scare of swine flue means that the US might need its troops in other operational theatres. Thus to quote JFK when he was talking about South Vietnam, it up to the Iraq to stand up, if it wants a semi Democracy this is its chance, the West has won the freedom for the people of Iraq, it up to to the people of Iraq to keep the peace.
