Hillary Clinton WARNING to North Korea

Fox News: Reports that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has sent a warning to North Korea over its plan to launch a missile, there would be a diplomatic reaction to the launch. It seems the best the Obama Administration can come up with it to take North Korea to the UN. One response, weak, if North Korea can develop a missile that can reach the USA it becomes even more of a threat, the USA should make clear that it will take military action if North Korea launches the missile. The USA should state it will shoot down the missile, this would have two benefits, it would take the pressure of Japan to shoot down the missile, it wold also force North Korea to think again. This crisis is getting hotter, expect more tension folks.

Battlestar Galactica - The Best Drama on US TV

Have just seen the last two episodes of Battlestar Galactica, one word GREAT. The series might have been set in Space but it was about US now, the War on Terror and how we view government in that light. The series made you think, was not afraid to tackle issues like 7/7 with its plot about Suicide Bombers, but what was interesting and a scene from Series 3 sticks in my mind, it has the Puppet President confront the Opposition leader about the use of Suicide Bombers by the Humans against the Cylons. The power of that exchange and the will of the writers to deal with it and to send out a clear message that it was wrong, that humans even when they have different political point of view should not go around using murder, and using people to blow themselves up and others in attempt to gain on the political field. Also Galactica dealt with torture, it made those who support extreme interrogation ask some tough questions, it made them accept that they have to accept that if you support such actions as tough interrogations you have to get your hands dirty. That was the success of the series, if you read the New York Times, you know what view they are going to take thus if your a Conservative you take a different view. TV wont be the same without Galactica, thus there is only 24 and Mad Men know for the viewers who likes good drama. To the actors, writers, crew I raise my hat, you shall be missed, SO SAY WE ALL.

North Korea Threat

BBC News: Reports that North Korea has placed a missile ready to be launched. Thus expect tensions to grow in the region, Japan has the Son of Star Wars ready to shoot down the missile if it becomes a threat to Japan. The US is also ready to take action should the missile be seen as a threat to the USA. Another crisis on the Obama Desk.

Sky News in Pakistan

Sky News: Reports on the rule of the Taliban/Terrorists in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. This is excellent reporting by Sky, showing how the Taliban/Terrorists have destroyed a once beautiful tourist attraction in Pakistan. This Sky and other reports should push the West, in this case the Obama Administration and the UK Government to place pressure on the President of Pakistan to take action in the Swat Valley, the appeasement of the Taliban/Terrorists has allowed them to move further in to Pakistan proper, what the next the Capital of Pakistan. If the Army of Pakistan will not take action the West should go in all guns blazing. This is not the time to appease or talk to the Taliban, this is the time to destroy these cowards, they are just common criminals, who deserve nothing better than a firing squad, it would show the West is not playing about, we had to destroy Nazi Germany and drop the bomb on Imperial Japan, the Taliban are just modern day Nazis, they deserve their day in court and then execution.

No More Spending - Bank of England

The Times: Reports on the warning from the Governor of the Bank of England, that the UK Government can not afford any more spending to get the UK out of this recession. PM Gordon Brown has to do something our he is out on his ear in 2010. Thus expect more spending, Brown will bankrupt the country to make sure he wins the next election. Thus expect more pain folks, the great Chancellor has shown that he has feet of clay, and as he melts as PM expects us the UK voters to get drenched, what a happy time folks.

Weapons of Mass Destruction and the UK

BBC News: Reports that the UK Government believes that terrorists could bet their hands on weapons of mass destruction. This is our age, one day you could be going to work and you could find yourself under attack from chemical, biological or a nuclear dirty bomb. Thus as a people of all ages, gender and ethnic groups we must say NO to the terrorists, we should be aware but we cant change how we go on every day. After 9/11, 7/7 and the recent attack in Scotland and in the failed attempt in London the best answer to the terrorists cowards is not to change who we are as a nation, a secular liberal democracy. Thus this is the controversial part, only UK secular law can be allowed to be the law of the land, all past or future exceptions have to be withdrawn, we have to be bit like the French in that manner, once your in France your under French law no matter what, thus never thought I would say this, lets be a bit like the French.

Wrong path by Obama over the Banks!

The New York Times: The Nobel Prize winning Economist Paul Krugman is not happy with the Obama banking plan, he writes the following, " This is more than disappointing. In fact, it fills me with a sense of despair. ". I agree with Mr Krugman, never thought I would write that about an article in the Liberal New York Times. Although Mr Krugman argues it is wrong to over value the bad debts of the banks , I on the other hand just don't think you can bailout bad banks. Read of the Day.
