The Speech and the Media

Just a quick review of the Speech by the Media Elite:

Washington Post, interesting and fair, a good read.

The New York Times, as you would expect, lot of hot air but no real answers that can be used to solve the problem.

The Times, UK paper of Record. The Paper states the following, ' Mr Bush’s domestic foes, notably Nancy Pelosi, the new Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives (who has a minimal record in foreign policy) and the increasingly surreal Edward Kennedy, would simply abandon Iraq and be done with it. '


Views would read the Post and the London Times, or the surreal, and what a good term the New York Times if you want flawed thinking.

Views has supported the War since the start, sometimes he thinks he, President George W. Bush and Tony Blair are the only ones left that support the War. Views is a hawk, a tough SOB in many respects, a neo - Conservative and proud of it, a Reagan/ Thatcher supporter to his last breath, so what is his verdict. This is it, one last try, this has to work for the sake of the West and Iraq, if this fails then we have to use an old British ploy, create three different ethnic countries out of Iraq and let them kill each other as long as they are not killing us. This is not an option Views wants, the creation of India and Pakistan and the deaths it caused still makes Views wish we had found another way. So here is the nuts and bolts of the Speech:

1. 20,000 more troops in to Iraq.
2. 16,000 troops in Baghdad.
3. 4,000 troops in to a Iraqi Province to deal with the Terrorists, their heartland.
4. More Iraqi troops supported by the above troops and the gloves come off.
5. The Iraqi government has to understand the UK and the USA will not stay forever. By November they will be in charge of all Iraqi areas.
6. Keep the Borders secure, stop Iran and Syria sending in aid to cause problems.
7. Economic Development, build while developing security.

One last push, one last chance, lets hope this works, Views is fast coming to end of his tether, we either win or we get out, it is that simple.
