Telegraph: Reports that the Fitch Credit Agency has further downgraded the credit worthiness of Greece. Lets gets honest here folks, Portugal, Ireland and Greece don’t have any CREDIT, they are broke, without bailouts from the EU/IMF they would have gone over a cliff months ago. The problem is you have the political elite in EU want to keep the Euro at any cost, eve if that takes the EU over the cliff in the near future. These countries are in the toilet, they are floating in the basing but no has had the courage to flush them out of the system. The above is graphic because that is the truth, Greece, Portugal and Ireland should get out of the Euro, return to their native currencies, redraw their economic structure so its in the real world. At some point the system will break folks, good money or clean paper is being thrown in to the toilet, and its getting dirty folks. There is not enough money to clear the present debt problems folks, thus either the PIGS go or the Euro goes, that is the stark choice folks.

Truth to Power = Israel vs. President Obama
Some interesting remarks by POTUS in his meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu:
POTUS on Syria: “ We also discussed the situation in Syria, which is obviously of acute concern to Israel, given its shared border. And I gave more details to the Prime Minister about the significant steps that we are taking to try to pressure Syria and the Assad regime to reform, including the sanctions that we placed directly on President Assad. ”. The Syrian Regime has got Obama’s number, they are still repressing their own people, they know that Obama wont do d-m thing, he rolls his friends not his enemies.
POTUS on Iran: “ We continue to share our deep concerns about Iran, not only the threat that it poses to Israel but also the threat that it poses to the region and the world if it were to develop a nuclear weapon. We updated our strategy to continue to apply pressure, both through sanctions and our other diplomatic work. And I reiterated my belief that it is unacceptable for Iran to possess a nuclear weapon. We also discussed the hypocrisy of Iran suggesting that it somehow supports democratization in the Middle East when, in fact, they first showed the repressive nature of that regime when they responded to the own peaceful protests that took place inside Iran almost two years ago. ”. As with Syria, Iran knows that Obama throws his friends under the bus while he bows to his enemies, just ask Poland and the Czech Republic. The only country in the end that will stop Iran is Israel, and that might come sooner than later, depends how good Mossad the Israeli Intelligence network is at preventing a Iran going nuclear.
POTUS on Israel: “ And I reiterated and we discussed in depth the principles that I laid out yesterday -- the belief that our ultimate goal has to be a secure Israeli state, a Jewish state, living side by side in peace and security with a contiguous, functioning and effective Palestinian state. ”. Israel would not be a Jewish states if the old Palestinian refugees had the right of return. That’s Obama rhetoric not seeing the real world, the Israel PM stated the following on the speech yesterday by POTUS, “ I think for there to be peace, the Palestinians will have to accept some basic realities. The first is that while Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines -- because these lines are indefensible; because they don’t take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes that have taken place over the last 44 years….So we can't go back to those indefensible lines, and we're going to have to have a long-term military presence along the Jordan. I discussed this with the President and I think that we understand that Israel has certain security requirements that will have to come into place in any deal that we make….the Palestinian refugee problem will have to be resolved in the context of a Palestinian state, but certainly not in the borders of Israel….So it’s not going to happen. Everybody knows it’s not going to happen. And I think it’s time to tell the Palestinians forthrightly it’s not going to happen. The Palestinian refugee problem has to be resolved. It can be resolved, and it will be resolved if the Palestinians choose to do so in a Palestinian state. So that's a real possibility. But it’s not going to be resolved within the Jewish state. ”. In other words POTUS get your head out of the clouds or your own ego!
At the end of the day the US Congress will support Israel, they will back Israel over any Obama policy, and they have the purse strings. The Israeli Lobby is political terms is not feared for nothing, both Carter and Reagan asked about the Israeli lobby when they come to power.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn on Bail
BBC News: Reports that DSK has been granted a one million dollar bail. Thus this case can be expected to last months folks, once the case starts this blog will not cover the case in till there is a verdict, this blog is rather old fashioned in that context.
Huhne on the Chopping Block ?
Guy Fawkes’ Blog: Reports that Lib Dems are moving to distance themselves from the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne over the allegation that he transferred his driving penalty points to his separated Wife. This blog would be surprised to see Mr Huhne survive this political scandal, if this allegation is true and there is evidence, then Mr Huhne will have to go, perverting the course of justice is jail time, what is it with Lib Dems, the Laws Case, this now, and two Lib Dems in the Welsh Assembly could face police investigation that they could not by law run for the Assembly due to their jobs. I guess if you out of power for over sixty years you don’t look that closely at your members, your grateful to have them.
Obama on the Middle East
The White House: The full text of President Obama’s Middle East Speech. This speech folks was a bore, this political geek almost feel asleep half way through it, yes typical of Obama’s speeches, it was okay, not that high on rhetoric, the most interesting aspect of the speech was the words of POTUS on Syria and Iran, “ The Syrian people have shown their courage in demanding a transition to democracy. President Assad now has a choice: he can lead that transition, or get out of the way. The Syrian government must stop shooting demonstrators and allow peaceful protests; release political prisoners and stop unjust arrests; allow human rights monitors to have access to cities like Dara’a; and start a serious dialogue to advance a democratic transition. Otherwise, President Assad and his regime will continue to be challenged from within and isolated abroad. Thus far, Syria has followed its Iranian ally, seeking assistance from Tehran in the tactics of suppression. This speaks to the hypocrisy of the Iranian regime, which says it stand for the rights of protesters abroad, yet suppresses its people at home. Let us remember that the first peaceful protests were in the streets of Tehran, where the government brutalized women and men, and threw innocent people into jail. We still hear the chants echo from the rooftops of Tehran. The image of a young woman dying in the streets is still seared in our memory. And we will continue to insist that the Iranian people deserve their universal rights, and a government that does not smother their aspirations. Our opposition to Iran’s intolerance – as well as its illicit nuclear program, and its sponsorship of terror – is well known…”. The line that Assad has to reform or get out the way is nice but what is POTUS going to do if Syria as Iran has done tells Obama to get lost. One can postulate not a lot, Obama will never take military action when it comes to Syria, his actions in Libya have been tepid. Obama stated the following on US action in Libya, “ Unfortunately, in too many countries, calls for change have been answered by violence. The most extreme example is Libya, where Moammar Gaddafi launched a war against his people, promising to hunt them down like rats. As I said when the United States joined an international coalition to intervene, we cannot prevent every injustice perpetrated by a regime against its people, and we have learned from our experience in Iraq just how costly and difficult it is to impose regime change by force – no matter how well-intended it may be. But in Libya, we saw the prospect of imminent massacre, had a mandate for action, and heard the Libyan people’s call for help. Had we not acted along with our NATO allies and regional coalition partners, thousands would have been killed. The message would have been clear: keep power by killing as many people as it takes. Now, time is working against Gaddafi. He does not have control over his country. The opposition has organized a legitimate and credible Interim Council. And when Gaddafi inevitably leaves or is forced from power, decades of provocation will come to an end, and the transition to a democratic Libya can proceed. ”. The US has withdrawn combat planes from the Libyan action, it been up to the UK and France to remove Gaddafi, one has to wonder does Obama share a bunker with Gaddafi, he has not mentioned Libya in weeks. The term has been coined as leading from behind, well Obama is so far back he is on Everest. Lets see what does Obama say about Peace process between Israel and Palestine, “ So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, and a secure Israel. ”. This blog lives in the real world, not in the pocket of the New York Times, this statement is just rubbish, no wonder this blog has called POTUS, the wisest fool in Christendom, before liberals start, this was an original political attack on King James 1. You can either have a secure Israel or a real Palestine State, you cant have both folks. Also what is Obama thinking with the above line, “ Two wrenching and emotional issues remain: the future of Jerusalem, and the fate of Palestinian refugees. ”, folks this is the real world, Jerusalem is going to stay Israeli, does not matter what Obama wants or thinks should happen, also the poor Palestinian refugees will never COME BACK, if Obama does not get that fact, then this blog is sorry for him. Poor man he has not grown in office, he still thinks he is Community Organizer in Chicago.
Vice President Cheney SPEAKS
The Washington Post: Reviews the forthcoming memoirs of VP Cheney. It will be interesting to read the memoirs of the most powerful VP in American history. It will be interesting to see how his views of international relationship develop from his time as Chief of Staff to President Ford, seen as a moderate Republican when compared to Ronald Reagan by the Establishment of the Republican Party in the 1970s, to the dark hand behind of the Bush 43 Presidency from the prospective of the Liberal elite from 2001. Also what was his relationship like with Bush 43, did he feel as the Bush 43 Presidency went on after the re-election win of 2004 that he had less power, in views on the Libby Case and the well known stand off with Bush 43 over a pardon. Also lets get to the elephant in the room, that is Iraq, that should dominate the memoir, one can see LIBERALS reading every word looking, looking for an apology or that Bush 43 lied and knew he was laying about Iraq. It should be a bestseller folks, the Bush 43 book was New York Times bestseller.
Grow UP France = DSK Case
Guardian: Reports on the cultural differences between the US and France when it comes to the DSK case, the footage of DSK in handcuffs and in Court have been shown within limits in France. FRANCE GROW UP, this is a world wide event, get your head out of your backside, one gets the impression that French arrogance has no bounds, if the French don’t want to look foolish don’t try to do a 1984 and control the news, this shows how much the elite of France, the political and press share the same bed, well that bed needs to be de loused and a new bed bought, GROW UP FRANCE.
