Senator Joe Lieberman

The man that in effects decides who runs the Senate has a great power at the moment, by his single vote, Time has a very interesting article on him, the article states the following on his power and its future, " The longer he waits to capitalize on his moment, the greater the danger that he'll be tagged as one of those politicians for whom having power is more important than using it. " Iraq is the one issue that could move Lieberman to the Republicans side, and the Democrats are moving fast to the left.

Lieberman interview in The Politico, Iraq could be final push for him to move to the Republicans.

UN and Iran

The BBC reports that Iran ignored a UN deadline on its Nuclear Development.

CNN reports that concerned powers will meet on Monday to discuss the issue of what next to do with Iran.

Iran Showdown and Bush

The Times reports that on this side of the bond there is a worry that Bush will take action on Iran before his term ends in 2009. The real fear should be that he wont take action, if in the early 1920s we had finished off the Soviets during the Civil War perhaps we could have saved millions in Russia and prevented WW2. Weakness is never a good option no matter what the Guardian or New York Times think about International Politics.

Clinton and Obama

Well folks the mud is starting to be thrown between Clinton and Obama, could each campaign take the other out and let in a Gore Candidate, Gore as a candidate was a disaster in 2000, not all his fault, he could not really use Bill Clinton due to the impeachment scandal.

Democratic Battle - Washington Post It seems Hollywood has smelled the Coffee, in the end its the bottom Dollar, they think Hillary cant win the general and they think Obama has a chance in 2008. Also Iraq is Hurting the Senator. McCain would understand the problem, if he attacks the war he cant win the base but if Hillary says she was wrong she can win the base and lose the general.

Hollywood Liberals - New York Post Views would disagree with the view that Obama has hurt himself in this debate between Clinton and Obama, nice guys come last in Presidential Politics. Views recalls the Gipper in a debate stating that he was paying for the debate and he would have his say, nice and tough goes a long away. The Clinton Campaign has placed Obama on their level, never do that, Obama really could be a threat to Hillary Clinton and her wish to be the first woman President.

Clinton Wrong War - Bloomberg.com Interesting article on how Hillary Clinton is not helping herself on Iraq.

Clinton and Nixon - Dick Morris, the former Political Consultant has another go at Hillary Clinton, but they are good points. The Clinton's don't react well to a critical review from their own side.

Iran and the Elite Media

An interesting article in the Chicago Tribune on Iran, " The price Iran is paying for international defiance is growing. But to stop its nuclear ambitions, that price needs to grow steeper--fast. " More pressure on Iran NOW will avert more military action in the future.

Iran and The Washington Post

The Post argues that the Bush Administration should use diplomacy with Iran, " That, and not secret military plans, is the missing component of U.S. strategy right now. " but should diplomacy fail and the government in Iran not listen to the UN and the EU, then the President as Commander in Chief will have to take action, he cant wait for 100 Senators who want to be President and over 230 Democrats who have never gotten over 2000 Election to see the problem. The President is in the same position as Reagan, the elite media and Democrats wanted to talk to the USSR deal with them as equals, Reagan had one aim, the West would win and the USSR would be on the rubbish tip. In the end Reagan is seen as a great President, Bush will have to deal with Iran, being weak and cool does not get you any where in International Politics. Reagan was a great President it is time for Bush to show his colours when it comes to Iran.

Faulty Politics

The Campaigns of Edwards and Obama and their early problems show why starting a campaign season in February is a massive joke, and worse bad politics, the only people showing interest are political geeks like Views and the Press, the rest of the population will start to take an interest at the end of the year and the really sane lot will decided in January when they vote in the early elections. Hillary Clinton with the Master of Politics at her side is keeping a centre ground to her campaign, if she goes to far to the left she will win the nomination that is for sure but will lose badly in the general election. All these early polls are daft, Gore could still come in, if Iraq goes belly up. At the moment John McCain is trailing Giuliani but if the surge works this could benefit McCain, a former POW in Vietnam. The Show has just started, still some time for it to run, another two years, God help Us!!
