Reagan Great President - President Obama

Fox News: Reports on a very nice compliment that President Obama has stated about President Ronald Reagan for a book on his Presidency, Obama has stated that Reagan will go down as a great President. The left wing bloggers will go bonkers, not the best time for this comment to come out, but its nice, its one great communicator seeing another great communicator. On the other hand, Reagan had a better first term team, this is my political advice to Obama, get a new Chief of Staff, my suggestion, James Baker, former Chief of Staff to Reagan, Secretary of the Treasury, and Secretary of State. Mr Baker could help Obama in so many areas, and he would make sure the first term team worked with one goal, getting Obama re-elected in 2012.

King Louis XVI and the French Revolution

Telegraph: Reports that the political testament of King Louis XVI has been found. The King and Queen lost their heads in the French Revolution. If there was such a thing as a time travel, would have a regiment of Welsh Guards with a machine gun, all that unfortunate business of the French Revolution would be removed, no storming of prisons, no killing of the innocent, no Wars between Great Britain and France. It’s only in the UK that the Revolution is seen as bad, one has to wonder about the rest of the world. Read of the Day.

Peace Deal in Afghanistan ?

The New York Times: Reports on backroom peace deal talks between the Taliban and the Government of Afghanistan. At a time that Obama has sent over twenty one thousand troops to Afghanistan and is open to sending another ten thousand, one has to ask are these talks serious, the war in Afghanistan is the Just War Obama wanted to fight on the 08 Campaign. Also could a Liberal President hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban. Also more important can any talks be taken at face value, would the Taliban in Afghanistan turn their backs on their brothers in Pakistan and repel the terrorists, that would have to be the deal. It can be postulated that the Taliban need to be beaten more in Afghanistan, and really crushed in Pakistan, before any real talks. Also to be honest I don't see Obama walking away from Afghanistan, as with LBJ with Vietnam, its his War now, if Iraq and Afghanistan go down the toilet Obama wont win in 2012.

The US Senate vs POTUS

BBC News: Reports that the US Senate has rejected the Obama Plan to close down Gitmo, to transfer the suspected terrorists to the USA. Also further votes in the Senate has made it harder for the Obama Administration to transfer suspected terrorists, two Amendments have passed that does this, the first states that each suspected terrorist will have to have a security risk report, the second amendment states that before a suspect terrorist can be moved to a state the Governor and the Local Government have to give the okay. That this was coming down the pike is not new, a few days ago the Democratic Leaders of Congress both in the House and Senate stated that they would not support the President on this move, thus the present problem for Obama. It has been stated that Obama will give a speech on Gitmo tomorrow, so what is Plan B, will Obama try to roll the Congress. This will be harder than it sounds, lets recall this is a National Security Issue, Democrats always have a weak hand on this subject at the best of times. Also lets get political, we have the Mid Term Congressional Elections in 2010, how will a House of Representatives explain that his voters have a well known terrorist in their backyard, as an example, KSM the mastermind of 9/11. Also what if once these terrorists are moved as an example to New York, their friends in Afghanistan and Pakistan decide to attack New York State again in attempt to get their friends out, they would state, no terrorists attack if as an example KSM is sent back Saudi Arabia. Thus it would be better to keep the terrorists at Gitmo.

Forever and Day = Terrorists = Gitmo

Fox News: Reports that Federal Judge John Bates has held that the US Government can hold suspected terrorists in till the end of their days. The left will go bonkers, one can see the headlines in the Extreme Liberal New York Times, they will go on about the rights of the terrorists, what about the rights of the American Citizen not die due to an terrorist act. The left in American Politics has a suicide id, the problem is the left wants to take us with them, they would rather the USA died as long they kept their hands clean. If they had been around in the time of Stalin they would have been thrown in to the nearest mental Institution, but that its the difference between Democracy and Authoritarian rule, we protect the right of the individual to protest but we don't allow them to kill us due to their cowardice.

New Missile Test by Iran

The New York Times: Reports that Iran has had a new missile test, the NYT writes the following on the missile, " an upgraded surface-to-surface missile with a range of about 1,200 miles..." This shows what Iran is up to, its developing its missile technology, its nuclear ambitions are nearing its end, one can postulate than Iran will have nuclear missile by the end of the year. One has just has to look at North Korea, it has developed smaller missiles with can carry small warheads. In fact a nuclear armed power. Iran will play Obama, expect the offer of talks, the talks will look good, but they will take time, Iran will carry on with its nuclear plans, just as North Korea did to Bill Clinton. At the end Obama will think he has a deal and the next day Iran will announce its a nuclear power. Then expect fireworks in the Middle East Folks.

Buner Not Secured - Pakistan

BBC News: Reports that the Buner District in Pakistan is not yet secured from the terrorists. Lets recall Buner is sixty miles from the Capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, it was how close that the Taliban/Terrorists had gotten that gave the Obama Administration great concern. Is it wise that the Army of Pakistan is to open a second front in the Tribal badlands when it has not cleaned house so close to its Capital. It has to be asked is the Army of Pakistan up to the job, does it understand that it has to fight a new way, this is not a conventional war, this is not India. The Army of Pakistan has to learn the lessons that the USA had to learn the hard way in Iraq. After its secures land it has to keep troops there for a long time, it has to win the heart and minds of the population. What the Army of Pakistan cant do is go in mob handed, blow things up, announce its clean house and leave, the Taliban/Terrorists will come back and the we are back here again is six months. Wise up Pakistan, this is a fight for the soul of Pakistan.
