Hostages are freed at last, about bloody time, sorry I am not jumping in the air for something Iran should have done in the first place, correction they should not have taken our service people in the first place. The real crunch will be Iran's nuclear development, where there can only be one outcome, no nuclear Iran, it just depends how we get from A to Z, diplomacy or through the barrel of a gun, George W. Bush wont be so diplomatic as the British Government, he cant afford to be, and the Democrats wont be able to stop any action, Iran is not on the top ten list of favorite nations in the United States.

New Hampshire Poll
A new poll from New Hampshire, is very interesting, Edwards is on the up, Clinton down and Obama also down, what if Edwards can take Iowa and New Hampshire, would Clinton be finished or would she be able to do a Bill Clinton and come and win in the February rounds, got to love politics American style.
The Results with as follows are:
Hillary Clinton 27% - Down
John Edwards 21 % - Up
Barack Obama 20% - Down
If you are from the UK recall the 1992 Polls, the ones that had Labour Winning, beware of Polls.

Obama V Clinton
CNN reports that Senator Obama has matched Hillary Clinton in the funding stakes, very interesting, is this the first stone to fall in the failure of Hillary Clinton to win the 2008 nomination of the Democratic Party, if Obama can build on this in the money stakes and build his poll numbers up, then Hillary Clinton will be in a three way contest, and Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton, no matter what some very loyal Clinton supporters want to believe.

Another Reagan or Kennedy
A very interesting article in Time, how the Republicans and Democrats are looking for a past Hero today, thus the Republicans are looking for another Great Communicator in the shape of Ronald Reagan while the Democrats are looking for another Robert Kennedy. My only answer to that search is good luck because your going to need it, a hero comes along only once in a lifetime, to a generation that was Ronald Reagan and Robert Kennedy, although from different political parties you would follow them in to hell and back, wrong or right, that is loyalty and Reagan and Kennedy deserve, sorry to say the present leaders of the Republicans and Democrats don't have it, Obama looks good, a Liberal who has said some nice things about Reagan in the past, but he has yet to be really tested, a hero is tested, 1976 for Reagan and his campaign against President Ford, while Robert Kennedy was the best Attorney General the United States ever had, it should also be noted that when he was running for President he stated that the blame for Vietnam could be shared by many not just the administration. Don't see any Democrats being that Noble do you, Hillary Clinton has been resolute about her vote but she is moving to the left, she has to win. The 08 Election is in need of a HERO.
Iran Articles

Ottawa Citizen, article looks at recent developments in Iran and Iraq and the future problems with Iran.

Bush Veto
Thus we come down to it, political theatre by the Democrats to appease their extreme liberal base and a President who must consider the security of the United States. The Senate and the House have passed a Bill to remove troops from Iraq, this will get a veto, the President and the Republicans should push this vote down the throats of the Democrats, weakness in politics should be punished, Hillary Clinton might wish by the end that the Republicans had won in 06.
