NYT Attacks President Obama over Renditions

The New York Times: The Liberal, Left wing New York Times attacks President Obama for following the Bush policy when it comes to rendition, the Liberal Times writes the following, " Voters have good reason to feel betrayed if they took Mr. Obama seriously on the campaign trail when he criticized the Bush administration’s tactic of stretching the state-secrets privilege to get lawsuits tossed out of court...." The Liberal, Left wing Times is more interested in the protection of terrorists than the protect of the American citizen. The paper has shown constant contempt for the security of the United States, it has released secret information on the CIA secret prisons, it has attacked USA policy in Iraq, it is more interested in the rights of those terrorists than the protection and well being of the American citizen. It attacks those that don't agree with it a vicious manner, just ask Mr O' Reilly of the Factor on Fox News. Thus what can you expect from the Times, it supported Stalin while he killed millions. Thus President Obama must be doing something right, good on you Mr President.

Democrats at War?

Politico: Reports on the internal war between the House and Senate Leadership over the Obama Economic Plan. This is typical of Democrats, they are only united when they have a Republican President to attack such as Bush 43. When they control all aspects of Government they cant help themselves, its fun to see Democrats as Democrats.

Mad Men, 2nd Season

Just seen the first episode of the Second Season of Mad Men, it was fantastic, one of the best shows on TV, intelligent, witty, fun, does not talk down the audience, if you haven't watched it, start with the first season DVD, then watch, a great intelligent show for the thinking man.

UK Limited Surge in Afghanistan

The Times: Reports that the UK is ready to send another three hundred troops to Afghanistan, in the hope that the Obama Administration will not ask for any more troops. I think PM Gordon Brown is whistling in the wind on this issue, if the President sends another thirty thousand troops to back up the UK he will expect more that just three hundred troops from the UK. Lets see if PM Brown can hold the line at this total, have my doubts, he wants Obama as his best friend, thus the cost will be more combat troops.

USA Surge in Afghanistan ?

CNN News: Reports that President Obama will make his decision on more troops for Afghanistan quite soon. Here is my advice to the new President, no surge of troops to Afghanistan, more troops wont help, in less your going to go big and quick in to Pakistan, to clean out the tribal areas of the terrorists bases. Otherwise its wiser to keep Afghanistan at its present low level of conflict. Also when it comes to Iraq, start to withdraw troops but over a twenty three month period, also change the status of most of the combat troops to trainers of the Iraqi Army and Police. If Obama sends troops in to Afghanistan but does not deal with Pakistan he is doing a LBJ, sending in troops but not attacking the supply area with combat troops, in the case of Vietnam, it was North Vietnam, in the case of Afghanistan its Pakistan. Thus Afghanistan will become Obama's War. He might find that he wishes had kept his troops in Iraq and kept Afghanistan a low level War.

790 Billion, Jobs or More Flushing down the Toilet ?

Fox News: Reports that the West Wing and Congressional Leaders have agreed a final sum for the Obama Economic Plan, the very grand total of seven hundred and ninety billion dollars. This will either work or President Obama will have to find a Plan B, the problem is there might not be a very good Plan B. If the Debt of the American Banks is anything like the EU problem the USA is in " A World of Hurt ". The Moderate Republicans in the Senate will vote for the final combination of the House and Senate Bill, they have gone this far, the Conservatives in their States will never vote for them again, they might even face a Primary fight down the line. I guess they might be thinking that Obama will give them a job in his Administration down the line if they find they cant get re- elected back to the Senate. In the House it can be postulated that Obama will fail to get any Republican votes, in their Republican Districts this Bill has had a negative reaction.

Europe Broke !!

Telegraph: Reports that European Banks could have a debt of 16.3 Trillion pounds. In other words if you think its bad now, its going to get worse, how many banks are still to go to the Wall. It has to be postulated can the UK and the EU go broke, are we heading in to the Dark Ages when it comes to the Economy, is it every man for himself, will we start to see the UK and the EU start to use protective measures to preserve their own economies and workers. In simple language folks we are on the edge of a cliff and it will take a miracle for us not to have a worse Great Depression than the one of the 30s.
