Obama's Defence for Drones - Tony Blair

Telegraph: Reports that the Obama Administration is using a Tony Blair  defence for the use of drones, the article notes the following, " A defence of Britain's role in the war on terrorism given by Tony Blair's government after the invasion of Iraq is secretly being used by the Obama administration to help justify its drone campaign against al-Qaeda, it has emerged.  ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks if your in the OVAL start to worry, the last thing you need for your argument for the use of drones is that the strategy had the approval of the Blair Administration, if that is the best they can do the Oval needs new lawyers.    In many respects and Blair and Obama came in to office with great good will and hope, and looked what happened, its fair to say that Blair is one of the most unpopular PM's in modern times after the failure of Iraq and the losses of UK Personnel in Afghanistan,  also the shady actions of MI6 in its dealing with Gaddafi's Libya after 9/11.   This blog supports the drone strikes, it has been very effective in taking out the terrorist threat in Afghanistan and Pakistan, innocent people have been killed folks, lets not hide that fact, its a dirty business the War on Terror, what is ironic is that Democrats who shouted from the roof tops about Bush 43 are supporting a President who puts some Chicago Godfathers to shame, the kill list approval ends with POTUS, the Oval has almost shouted it from the roof tops, after his 2nd term Obama could go in to acting, there needs to be a new Godfather series, as POTUS has given the order in real life he should be at home giving the order on screen. 

Godfather Obama and the Drone Strikes - War on Terror

Guardian: Reports on the leaked Obama legal memo that gives legal cover for POTUS to kill US Citizens that are Al Qaeda terrorists, the article notes the following, " But in a number of areas, it controversially appears to give considerable flexibility to administration officials to define key issues. ".

Lets Get Real: 

As stated before folks, its sometimes actions in the 1st term of a two term President that come back to haunt him, with Nixon it was Watergate, with Reagan it was Iran - Contra, of course with Bill Clinton it was his affair.   In the second term of Bush 43 it was the mess in Iraq, and then decision of the surge.   The use of drones is coming back to haunt Obama, the Republicans are acting like doves, wanting to place pressure on Obama, while Democrats have to become extreme hawks to justify the actions of the Oval.  This blog  supports the drones strikes, it would have been nice to take these terrorists in to custody and get some info out of them before killing them but sometimes you just have to be brutal.  It is ironic that the Democrats went on about the torture of the Bush 43 years, at least no one died due these torture actions, while the same can not be said of the Godfather Obama drone strikes.   The UN is looking in to these drone strikes, it would be ironic if Obama become the NEW LBJ, a liberal undone by his actions in foreign policy.  History has way of biting you on the backside if you think you control history. 

Family TORN APART, Chris Huhne - Downfall PT4

Daily Mail:  Reports how the Huhne case has caused a major rift between Chris Huhne and his son Peter Huhne.  How the texts between the two helped lead to Chris Huhne pleading guilty to perverting the course of Justice today. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks the case has showed the importance of modern technology from speed cameras to mobile texts, they have all played a part in the downfall of a Cabinet Minister, a one time contender for the Leadership of the Liberal Democrats, who for few hundred votes could have been Deputy Prime Minister.   What the texts  and court case shows is that rich elite individual thought the law did not apply to him, if there had been no speed cameras and no texts it would haven been the word of a Cabinet Minister against a bitter wife, yes folks, thank goodness of modern technology.    This should be a warning, high or low, do not break the law, threads can be found, we live in global technical world, the idea of no mobile, email, Internet shows how much it control our lives, God helps if we ever lose technology, the world would fall apart. 

The Chris Huhne Case - Downfall PT3

Telegraph: Reports the following on the Huhne Case, " ..has been exposed as a serial liar who was prepared to sacrifice his relationship with his son and run up taxpayer-funded bills of £250,000 in his attempts to cheat justice. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus the one good news for the Nick Clegg camp is that Chris Huhne can no longer challenge Clegg for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats, the Huhne Camp was a thorn in the side of Clegg and the Conservative Party.   The resignation of Chris Huhne as a MP means that there will be a by election in his Seat, this is a straight fight between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservative Party, the Conservatives should but a 100% effort in to winning the seat, the Liberal Democrats stabbed the Tories in the back when they did not support boundary changes for the next election, the Tories should make Clegg pay a heavy price for that action.   Lets show the treacherous Liberal Democrats that if they cross the Conservative Party they will pay, the Labour Party is not a factor in the Seat, it will be interesting if they campaign or want their supporters to vote Conservative as to upset the Liberal Democrats and cause friction within the Coalition Government.  This is politics at the raw end folks, getting votes and stuffing the other Party. 

The End of a Career, Chris Huhne - Downfall PT2

Guardian: Reports the following on the Huhne Case, " ..is facing a prison sentence and a humiliating end to his political career after he pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice.. ".

Lets Get Real:

At the core the UK Justice system needs people to think its honest, and no matter high or low you are you will get the same kind of justice, if you fiddle your benefits or lie to the Police you should face the same results.  In the future a man or woman who might think about doing the same thing will recall the Huhne case, and they might think that losing their licence is better that going to the Big House, Justice has been done and more important has been seen to be done, it should not matter if your in the gutter or an MP, you you face a criminal courts and be expected to be treated the same.   This is a win for Justice folks, and in today's climate that is not a bad thing, ever other pillar of the system has been shown to be weak or corrupt or both, so nice to see that the Courts work. 

Prison Time for Chris Huhne - Downfall

BBC News: Reports that former Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has been told by the Judge at his trial after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice that he faces prison time. 

Lets Get Real:

This will sound harsh folks, but the Judge should send Mr Huhne down for at least a year, how much of the public purse has been spent on the case, if Mr Huhne has come forward at the start he might have just gotten  suspended sentence, and save the tax payer a fortune, one would have to assume that when he was interviewed by the Police that he either said nothing or lied to the Police.    Thus for the UK justice system to be seen to work the Judge should look very harshly at Mr Huhne, a year in prison would remind him that he is not above law, how ever intelligent he is or how much money he has made in the past, the Liberal Democrats are not so clean any more are they folks. 

The Face of a King - King Richard III

BBC News: Reports on the reconstructed face of King Richard III of England, after his remains were confirmed today. 

Lets Get Real: 

Thus folks what to do with the remains of the King, and folks he was a King of England, there is the idea that he should be buried locally, this should not happen, he should be taken to London and buried with past Kings and Queens of England.   The evil nature of the King was a Tudor Construct, they were the Masters of spin, they make New Labour look like rank seconds, a King should be buried in London, it would be the right thing to do, also it would get the crowds in, win win as we say today, a King of England no matter his character was still a KING, therefore folks we should demand that he be honoured as a King.
