Call for HOSTAGES to be released by Iran - US

Guardian: Reports " Obama calls on Iran to release 'unjustly detained' Americans..President says US is ‘not going to relent’ until Iran releases Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, Pastor Saeed Abedini and former US marine Amir Hekmati "

Lets Get Real:

The time to get US hostages out of Iran's jails was during the nuclear talks, the Obama Administration wanted a nuclear deal at ANY cost, even the lives of US Citizens held by the Tehran Regime.   The Iran Government knows that the Oval Office does not care about its citizens, the final price for the nuclear deal should have been the release of those US hostages held in Iran.    The Tehran Regime has got what it wanted, the lifting of US and UN sanctions and the return of assets held by the UN.    The poor nuclear deal is not worth the paper it is written, as it gives the right for Tehran to go nuclear down the line.   Those that lost in the deal were America's moral authority and its people held in Iran. 

The White House on Trump - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " Donald Trump owes veterans an apology for suggesting American prisoners-of-war may not qualify as heroes, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans will pay a political cost if they allow Mr Trump to say these wrong headed remarks, the Party needs to Unite in opposition to Trump, the Democrats are the only winners in such a messy debate about War and what is a hero.   The Republicans need another Gipper or very close to him, this blog has argued that Jeb Bush is the ideal candidate to the be the Republican nominee, a conservative at the centre of US political thought.   One would wish Mr Trump would go back to being a TV host and a very, very rich builder of buildings with Trump on the outside.   Politics is not for someone who had never paid his dues in the political process. 

A family Divided - The Miliband Brothers Saga

Telegraph: Reports " Ed Miliband 'not invited' to brother David's 50th birthday party..

Former Labour leader spotted at the cricket during his brother's party after their rival leadership bids caused family tensions "

Lets Get Real:

In politics if you lose there is no forgiveness even from family, the only way that Ed Miliband could have made up with brother was to offer him a Cabinet position if he had won the election in May.   It is said that David Miliband was the best leader Labour never had, this could be true and we might never know for sure, of course Miliband senior could return to the House of Commons later on in the election cycle.   It would be ironic if David Miliband becomes Leader and then Prime Minister, if that happens Ed should not expect a call, something things you have to pay for in politics, stabbing your brother in the back is one of them. 

McCain vs. Trump, Who is a hero? - Vietnam War

Guardian: Reports on the Trump and McCain row, " McCain’s time in captivity merits respect, regardless of anyone’s feelings about the Vietnam war or McCain as a politician. The son of an admiral, McCain refused a proffered early release, knowing he would be in for even more torture. "

Lets Get Real:

Senator McCain is a war hero and if Mr Trump get anywhere the Republican nomination this blog will support Hillary Clinton for the Presidency, how any Republican can support Mr Trump is MAD, the Trump comments on McCain show that he is not fit to be President. This blog just wants another Gipper, is that asking to much of the Republican Party. 

UK Government Defends Syrian Position - Daesh Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has rejected claims MPs have been "kept in the dark" about the involvement of British pilots in airstrikes in Syria. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog could care less if the feelings of backbench MPs are hurt that they were not informed that British pilots joined their allies in attacks on Daesh, the threat from Daesh in Syria and Iraq is only growing, the West has to attack the threat from its source otherwise Daesh will become another Al Qaeda, the West does not want another 9/11 or 7/7 or recent attacks on Westerns on holiday in Tunisia.    Thus time for House of Commons to grow up and listen to the PM and his Cabinet. 

RAF Pilots strike IS in Syria - Daesh Crisis

BBC News: Reports " UK pilots embedded with coalition allies' forces have been conducting air strikes over Syria against the Islamic State group, it has emerged. "

Lets Get Real:

The UK government was sneaky to place our pilots with other Countries to get around Parliament, but it was for the right reason, the UK has to hit Daesh targets in Syria and Iraq.   The House of Commons should have a vote on this subject and revoke the bad decision they made before, the UK has to be a FULL partner with the US and other allies.  Lets  hope our pilots are safe and return to the UK. 

What does the US voter think of the Iran Deal - Iran Deal

CNN - Politics: Reports " Because President Obama has already pledged to veto any bill to block the deal GOP leaders would need to convince enough Democrats to join with them to override his veto -- a heavy lift. How the public views the deal will be critical, as Members of Congress will be back home for several weeks this summer before any vote. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republican supporting groups should start to pay for adverts in the seats of Democrats, just show old footage film from the 1930s with the picture of Neville Chamberlain morphing in to President Obama, Jewish groups who support Republicans should start to hit the emails, phones, web forums to get the point over that Obama is following the appeasement policy of Chamberlain and of his Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax in the 21st Century.   The Republicans will not win but the can make any Obama victory look hollow.   Winning and being right are not the same thing, history is against Obama, it will help Republican candidates in 2016.
