Death in Afghanistan

Another Soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, UK deaths now stand at 66. What is the plan for victory, can there be victory in the Bloody Place.

Heroes

Rome has finished, but good old BBC 2 has a great new show, Heroes. I have of course head of it, cant miss it in the Sci - Fiction geek world. Views was one of those that dismissed Buffy the Vampire Slayer because of the name, VIEWS cant be right all the time. As with Buffy I head so much great reviews about the scripts and the acting well gave Buffy a look and was hooked, the best drama on TV in my humble view. As a policy when Views hears so much great reaction to something as with the case with Heroes I try not to like a show, well I admit I was wrong. Of the first two shows it was great and am hooked will be watching for the next 21 weeks on BBC 2 at 9pm.

Death in Afghanistan

Another death in Afghanistan in total 65 UK Service Personnel have been lost. I wish we had a plan for getting out of Afghanistan as we have in Iraq. Afghanistan is a constant worry, how do we win can we win.

Theatre of the Absurd

The Democrats in the House have entered the Theatre of the Absurd. They have cited present and past officials of the Bush Administration for contempt of Congress in the US Attorneys firings. The Bush Administration should not back down as they could and should win in Court.

Congress V White House

The Democratic Congress is like a dog that is barking for no reason, again it is the firing of the U.S Attorneys.

Here are some interesting articles on the case.

Washington Post: The article looks at the mistrust between the Senate and the Attorney General of the United States. The Republicans on the Panel don't have much time for the A.G.

The Politico: The leading Republican on Senate Judiciary Committee is not very happy with the A.G and that is a understatement. He does not support the right of the President to announce he will use Executive Privilege to close down investigation of the firing of US Attorneys.

Fox News: A showdown is developing between the Congress and the White House. Congress is about to pass Contempt Citations against those in the administration and those that have served.

Obama Plan?

A interesting article in the Politico, it seems that Senator Obama wants to follow the Reagan method to winning the nomination of the Party. It should be noted that the Reagan victory in 1980 came off nearly winning the nomination in 1976 against a sitting President of the United States, President Ford. History can teach and create new ideas, change Ford to Clinton and then look at the possible development of a plan. Reagan lost early rounds but came back, when the press stated he should get out he stated to his staff he would fight in every state no matter if he won or loss. President Ford won the nomination but it was a marginal victory by a hundred votes or so, Reagan's campaign started from there and he won in 1980.

Senator Obama has to turn the 2008 race around and go back to the past, Clinton is Ford and Obama has to slog all the way, even with early defeats he has to fight all the states, the time is compressed this time but the Senator has a chance to pull off a victory.

The Debate and 2008

Here are some interesting articles:

Time : Obama gets a A grade from Time for his performance in the Debate.

Time : Clinton gets a B+ for the debate. I have stated that the MSM supports Hillary Clinton.

The Daily Standard : Has Clinton winning the Debate. But Standard is Conservative in nature might not get the what Liberals want to hear, cue Obama again won the debate.
