Portugal = Next to Fall ?

Guardian: Reports that Portugal is expected to ask for economic bailout following in the footsteps of Greece and Ireland. Thus the PIGS are falling folks, the next on the cards and the most troubling is Spain, the EU fund can take care of Portugal but Spain is another matter, at what point does the defence of the Euro become MAD, a political con that no one has the courage to bury, the Euro is killing the weaker economic countries of the EU. If Spain falls then it should be allowed to fall, the UK should not at any cost bailout any more countries. The debt cancer is killing any chance of recovery, sooner or later the cancer has to be seen its whole, and it might be that the UK should allow it to kill the economies of the weaker EU counties, thus the EU could then restart, fresh, this way it’s a death of thousand cuts, good money down the toilet.

NATO at the Helm for Libya

Telegraph Live - Libya: Reports that NATO will take military control of the Libyan operation within forty eight hours. This will take the pressure off the Oval, it can say it is transferring the Command helm to NATO, of course the US is NATO in many respects, thus expect a US Commander to run the operation. Lets hope Libya does not turn in to another Afghanistan, endless with no clear result. It seems that the West is going for a limited strategy when it comes to Libya, thus expect the West to construct an Army in the East of Libya and create a command structure, this will allow the rebels to march on Gaddafi in the West, lets hope the Allies doe not lose any of its Armed Forces due to this plan.

Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that Two UK Soldiers were killed on Wednesday in Afghanistan, the Soldiers were from the “ 1st Battalion Irish Guards ”. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 362 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 318 in combat action and 44 due to illness, accidents or other incidents.

When the WORLD is going to HELL = Give me MY Mad Men Fix!

The New York Times: Reports that the best drama on TV, Mad Men might not come back till 2012. This is not FAIR, its unjust, all men when they grow up want to be Don Draper, all want to date his ex wife Betty, this is not on, it seems it down to that evil thing called MONEY. The World is going to hell in the Middle East, and we loyal fans have to wait till 2012, that’s an election year for God sake, not on, one very unhappy Blog!

46% Disapproval for POTUS - Gallup

Gallup: Reports on its latest job performance poll for President Obama, the Oval has 46% disapproval rating, while 44% approve of the job performance of President Obama. One can argue that with Afghanistan, Iraq, the US voter is very wary of another War, three Wars going on at the same time. The present crisis in Libya has been compared to the first Gulf War, in that War Bush 41 got a UN Resolution but also went back to the US Congress to get them to okay the War, it was close run thing folks. The ghost of Vietnam was used by those against the War. The point is that Bush 41 did get the US Congress to pass a resolution, President Obama just did it off his own back, with some courtesy calls to Congress. The hard left and this is real folks, want to Impeach President Obama, yes there are some mad funny left wingers out there, but lets get back reality, should the US and the UK have to send in ground troops then POTUS will have to go back Congress, but so far on the political front the Oval is safe, at the end of the day the Oval is the Commander in Chief, lets hope the Strategy works folks.

Allies Strike Gaddafi Forces in Misurata - Libya

Telegraph: Reports that the Allies have hit the Western Gaddafi targets near Misurata in the West of Libya. This is good news folks, but what about the Gaddafi security forces in Misurata itself, the Telegraph reports that Gaddafi has snipers killing the innocent people of Misurata, the UN cant win if Gaddafi is still in charge, thus my argument for a Max Strategy when it comes to Libya, the Gaddafi regime is playing out the clock, it wants to get lucky and shoot down a US plane, thus place pressure on the Obama Administration. The Libyan No Fly Zone cant be another Iraq, that lasted over a decade and it took ground troops to get rid of the Iraqi Regime.

Cutting Petrol TAX - 1p & Throwing out Labour TAX Hikes

This is a good news day folks, the hard pressed driver gets a break, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr George Osborne has taken 1p of the cost of petrol, also he has suspended the Labour Escalator till 2015, thus an expected 5p hike has seen a tax cut for the hard pressed driver. Lets be honest folks, the price of petrol is driven by international events, if Saudi Arabia goes up in smoke then expect a mighty hike in petrol prices, but so far this is a good move by the Coalition Government. Grade 10/10 for wise economic moves and political effect, Labour under Ed Miliband didn’t really have a answer, things are looking up for the Coalition.
