The Savage Nature of Daesh - War on Terror

Telegraph: Reports " Isil destroys Roman-era columns in Palmyra during execution..The militant group tied three prisoners to the columns in the ancient city before blowing them up  "

Lets Get Real:

The powers in the region, US/Western Allies, Russia and Iran should get together and make common effort to get rid of Daesh, the Russians can use their ground troops, well they want to be there, the US and its Allies can bomb from the air, with support from Iran when it comes to Assad and shared intelligence.   The removal of Daesh should be the major issue for the powers, the other problems can be dealt with after a successful operation to remove Daesh, it would build trust, and everyone would be in the same boat. 

Caron Topples Trump in new National Poll

CNN - Politics: Reports on a new CBS/NYT poll on the Republican race, " Carson won the support of 26% of Republican primary voters, compared to 22% who are backing Trump.. "

Lets Get Real:

Neither Carson or Trump are fit to be President, one is a ego maniac and the other might just be  a racist after his comments on the chance of a Muslim President.   Thus with Jeb Bush below water it seems that if you have a brain cell you end up supporting Hillary Clinton, yes she is a awful candidate, has problems with the truth, uses the english language like her hubby, slick willy, but on the whole this blog would feel happy with HRC in the Oval than the present Republican field.  That is the thing about democracy, you never get 100% what you want!

The Conservative Government and Tax Credits of Gordon Brown

Daily Mail: Reports " Osborne's tax credit revenge: Ministers refuse to rule out flooding the Lords with more than 100 new peers to force through benefit cuts blocked last night  "

Lets Get Real:

The Prime Minister David Cameron should inform the Queen that due to the actions of Labour and Liberal Democrats Peers the Conservative Government will place a hundred extra Conservatives in the Upper House as to get its Agenda through.  The Opposition having lost the General Election of 2015 are trying to block the Agenda of the elected Government.   The House of Lords of un - elected Peers should have followed convention and allowed the Bill go through, what next will they try to stop, this calls for tough action by David Cameron. 

The UK in Afghanistan - Afghanistan War

BBC News: Reports " The UK is to extend the stay of its troops in Afghanistan, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has told MPs.

Lets Get Real:

This move by the UK follows the US policy for keeping troops in Afghanistan as to build local forces, also to deal with the growth of Daesh, the growing threat from the Taliban with support from Al Qaeda.   The UK left Iraq in 2009, and we are now back fighting from the air.   The Daesh threat to the Middle East has shown what happens when you leave problem not solved.  It would not come as a great shock if the UK has to place new troops in Iraq, these conflicts never end, just half time break before the War goes on.   The threats from Daesh, Al Qaeda and the Taliban will take years to fight, it will be a long and dirty War. 

Blair and Iraq Part Three - Iraq Crisis

Mail on Sunday: Reports " 'I'm sorry': Historic moment Tony Blair FINALLY apologises for Iraq War and admits in TV interview the conflict caused the rise of ISIS "

Lets Get Real:

The left wing press elite will never forgive Tony Blair for the Iraq War, what really makes them mad  is the fact that Tony Blair was supposed to be a New Labour kind of politician, it always the Conservatives that are seen ready to bomb tomorrow, not a centre left wing party.   One does wonder what Bush 43 is making of this sorry trip, so far the former President has been  very quiet, he has his own problems with Donald Trump stating that IF he had been President, then 9/11 might not have happened.  Leaders should never say sorry for mistakes, just makes those critics ever more smug. 

Blair and Iraq Part 2 - Iraq Crisis

BBC News: Reports on a interview that Tony Blair has given CNN, " Most significant, though, in terms of new revelations is the former prime minister's admission that getting rid of Saddam Hussein may have had some bearing on the rise of so-called Islamic State. "

Lets Get Real:

The old New Labour spin team is getting out ahead of the Iraq Report that is expected to be highly critical of Tony Blair and his War in Iraq.   It can be argued from the left that the invasion of Iraq in 2003 has lead to the creation of Daesh, the removal of the  Saddam Hussein Regime  lead to the dissolution of the Iraqi Army, the US leaving in 2011 under President Obama is also a factor in the creation of Daesh.   This blog did and will carry on with its support for the Iraq War, the US might be sending troops back in the near future to take on Daesh in Iraq and Syria. 

Doctor Who Review - The Woman Who Lived

Lets Get Real:

Sorry for the delay dear readers, this blog watched the episode twice, it was even better than last week, it has some serious science questions, would you want to live forever, would you want to see your loved ones die and you can not recall their names.   That was the serious bit, the other great bit was Maisie Williams from Games of Thrones, this blog is calling for the actress to join the Doctor in the Tardis.   The Partnership between the Doctor and Lady Me was great, they were born to travel together in the Tardis.    The Doctor in front and behind the screen are on top form.   Peter Capaldi was born to be the Doctor.
