The Times of India: Reports that Pakistan's nuclear sites have been attacked by terrorists in the past. The Obama Administration should demand that US Forces be allowed to guard these sites, what if the Taliban/Terrorists get hold of a lose nuke or a warhead, think of threat this would be to Pakistan and Western Forces in Afghanistan. The West should make sure that Pakistan has a total security screen around their nukes, this is time for tough talking between the USA and Pakistan, the Government of Pakistan has to be made aware that the West will not allow any security risks in Pakistan to become a threat to the West.

Un - American those that Oppose Health Care Reform - House Speaker
Fox News: Reports that House of Representatives Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has called those that oppose health care reform Un - American. Folks this is the dirty pool that older Americans have to deal with, it is they that will be hurt by the Obama Health Care Reform Bill. If your old and have served your country you will be asked to fall off your perch because your not worth it from the view of the Democrats. Let us have a million man march of the old, let’s have those that have paid their dues over the decades to Washington D.C. Lets show the Democrats that their obsession with youth celebrity culture is not the USA as a whole. Call on your neighbours and friends to take those that have worked hard, served their country in many ways form the military to public sector work, firemen, doctor’s and teacher and others to D.C. Show the Democrats for what they are, shallow with no principals, and let us have a million-man march of the USA. Will Pelosi call that UN - American?

Last Longer than Iraq and Cost More = Afghanistan
Washington Post: Reports that US Military Experts predict that War in Afghanistan will last longer than Iraq and cost more by the end. The Liberal Leaders in Congress are not going to be happy, they want a turn around within a year, they see Afghanistan and Iraq as the mistakes of Bush 43, they don't want to spend money on Defence they want to pander to their election base. If the money is going to Iraq and Afghanistan and will increase in Afghanistan due to the US policy of Nation Building the Liberal Left wont get money for the favourite hobby horses. The incoming Chief of the Defence for the UK has been honest, he has stated that the UK will be in Afghanistan for 40 years. Yes 40 years. As stated in my recent post, that has no chance, Obama wants out of Afghanistan before his re-election bid in 2012, he does not want another Vietnam War on his hands, he does not want to be another LBJ. Thus Generals have about a year to calm Afghanistan down, keep the locals at bay, allow for the Presidential Election in August. The Chicago Fix is in for the election, the present President will win, better the devil you know, its matter of keeping Afghanistan at a low boiling point, at present its gotten very hot, the UK lost 22 Armed Forces Personnel in July, so far this August we have lost 5. The USA is also taking casualties, in July it lost 43 soldiers, this month is also starting to look bad in the war of attrition between the Western Forces and the Taliban/Terrorists. Thus Afghanistan could be the new Vietnam and Obama could be LBJ.
Richard Nixon, A kind of Great President ?
Baltimoresun.com: An article that takes a new look at Richard Nixon. It should be noted that if you read the Reagan Diaries and find that President Reagan did get advice from Nixon when it came Foreign Policy. Also if you think about it Nixon was a fighter, he came back when other politicians just faded away, the loss in 1960 to JFK, the loss of the Governor's race to Governor Brown in 1962, after his resignation in 1974 he came to be seen by most as an elder statesman, flawed but a giant of the age. Also if Bill Clinton can be Impeached and can now be sent on major foreign missions it shows that time is a great healer and those that follow you make you look good. Read of the Day.
Taliban KILLING their OWN
BBC News: Reports that the Taliban in Pakistan are fighting between themselves since the death of Baitullah Mehsud. Thus the drone strike that killed Mehsud has worked on two levels, a threat to Pakistan has been removed and the Taliban are killing themselves, saves a job for the Army of Pakistan and the Western Forces in Afghanistan. A Cheer for the CIA.
The Battle for Health Care and the Obama Presidency
Guardian: Reports on the battle for health care reform and the negative effects on the Obama Presidency. This is the battle President Obama has to win, even if at the end the reform bill is just a piece of paper with the words health care reform as the title and the rest blank. The Democrats have to careful, they might actually believe that those that oppose the reform as just paid crowds from the health lobby, but what if its real, can they afford lose the House and Senate next year. Its hard to understand the Obama play book in this case, the Obama Candidate in Iowa in 2008 has turned in to Walter Mondale of 1984, no tax he does not like. The Obama Administration has come clean, a trial balloon was sent up about raising taxes on those that earn under two hundred and fifty thousand year to pay for the Health Care Reform, at the end of the day Obama is another Mondale that got elected, a tax and spend Liberal. This is why Obama will lose Congress in 2010 and lose the Presidency in 2012.
