Main Stream Media, MSM

While the Middle East burns, Iraq seems to be out of focus at the moment, you get the occasional stories of the usual mayhem but an interesting article in the Washington Post on the views of the GOP in Congress on how they think Iraq is going, GOP Lawmakers Edge Away From Optimism on Iraq. The title says it all, would not be surprised if the MSM carry further stories about Iraq, just before the Mid Term Elections, just to make sure the Middle East does not help the Republicans…

Mid Term Elections and Joe Lieberman

It looks like the Left Wing Bloggers will have their first victory if the latest poll is accurate for the Democratic Primary in Connecticut it seems that Ned Lamont is leading Senator Joseph Lieberman by 51 -47. This will place the Democratic Party in a very odd position, if Mr Lamont wins the Primary and Senator Lieberman follows through with his plan to contest the election in November, we could have ex Governor Howard Dean the head of the Democratic National Committee supporting Lamont and the Senate Democrats leadership supporting Lieberman. If the Democrats regain the Senate and by One vote, will the Liberal wing or as the term has became used the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party be happy to have the Independent Joe Lieberman in their caucus, and should it come to a Vote on Iraq will they be happy to lose because Lieberman supports the War and the Policy of the President.

King David Hotel in 1946

In today’s Times there was an interesting article about the difference between a terrorist act and the act of freedom fighters thus we come to the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946 by Israeli Freedom Fighters from their point of view. The Target was British Personnel and thus from our point of view Terrorists by any definition. One moment a terrorist then Prime Minister, is there any solutions or just more death.
