Cameron ATTACKS Labour over AV VOTE

BBC News: Reports that Coalition PM David Cameron has attacked the Labour Party for stating that it oppose the Referendum Bill before Parliament even after it was in their 2010 Manifesto. The reason that the Labour Party is withdrawing its support for the Referendum Bill is simple, the Bill will make Parliamentary Seats equal, in the old system it took more voters to elect Conservative MPs that Labour MPs; due to the fact that a majority of Tory Seats are rural; in other words Labour wants to keep its electoral plus. If the Bill is passed lets see how the Labour Party will react, will they support the change to AV or will they use the vote to get a dig in at the Coalition and support the Conservatives in rejecting the Bill. The aim would be to bring down the Coalition.

The A - Team is BACK ?

Telegraph: Reports on the movie version of one of my favourite shows form the 80s the A - Team. Another please don’t balls it up, one would love for the plan to come together, the original series was great fun to watch, funny, a story, things being blow up, and no one ever died. Think Dr Who with machine guns!

Gaza Prison Camp - PM Cameron

Guardian: Reports on remarks by the new UK Coalition PM David Cameron, the PM called Gaza a Prison Camp, in other words it’s the fault of Israel, also the PM called for Turkey to be allowed in to the EU, this is opposed by Germany and France. Thus PM Cameron is very different from Tony Blair; it can be argued that Blair was pushed out by the end due to his support for Israel and its actions in the Middle East, Cameron is following a typical Foreign and Commonwealth position, support the Arabs against Israel. Also he will cause friction with Germany and France as they oppose having Turkey in the EU due to ethnic problems with their won countries. On the first point it can be argued that PM Cameron is wrong, the issue of Gaza is complex, its not just Gaza the underdog vs. the Giant Israel. Gaza is a national security threat to Israel, it is liking having Wales throw bombs over the border to England. As to Turkey the PM is right, Turkey is part of NATO and a close ally of the West thus it should be in EU. This will drive France and Germany up the wall, those opposed to the EU will love that PM Cameron has taken a firm stand that is a rebuke to Paris and Berlin.

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a UK Soldier was killed on Monday in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the “ 36 Engineer Regiment serving as part of the Counter-IED Task Force ”. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 325 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 286 in combat operations and 39 due to illness, accidents or other incidents.

My Way - Gordon Brown

The Daily Mail: Reports that former UK PM Gordon Brown will bring out a book on his role in the banking collapse. This will be interesting as Mr Brown was Chancellor of the Exchequer for ten years, those years that allowed for the framework for the banking collapse, lets see if he gets his own back on Tony Blair or Lord Mandelson, with Tony Blair it depends how honest Mr Blair is when it comes to his relationship with Mr Brown, how many coup attempts that he faced from Mr Brown, how Gordon Brown kept him shut out of the Treasury. It can be postulated that the book will be heavy duty economics book, in other words a door stop.

Al Qaeda + Iran + North Korea = Trouble

The New York Times: Reports more on today’s Afghanistan leaks, it reports from the secret military documents that the money man for UBL has flown from Iran to North Korea to buy weapons. Thus the two countries that Obama has tried to appease are throwing sand in his face, the North Koreans have threatened to use their nuclear deterrent during the US Naval and South Korean military exercises and is selling military equipment to Iran so it can be passed on to the Taliban/ Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. In other words Bush 43 was right about Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Sooner or later Obama will have to take on Iran, if the US is weak then Israel wont trust the US and will strike, this could lead to a regional war in the Middle East, if your weak in International Politics you are not respected by despised, Obama is a laughing stock already, that is why he is another Carter, thus a one term President.
 

Iran in Afghanistan BIG TIME

Guardian: Reports in detail on the role of Iran in Afghanistan, the Tehran Regime is giving aid and comfort to the Taliban. Thus one has to ask how come the Obama Administration has being trying so hard to get a deal with Iran when Iran is costing the lives of US Soldiers in Afghanistan. The fact that Iran was giving comfort and aid to the Taliban is not new, but these leaks will make it harder for the Obama Administration to push its diplomatic outreach to Iran, when Iran is telling Obama to get lost, thus the time will comes for Israel to hit Iran and Obama will have to support Israel.
