New Era for UK and the USA

The New Era gets a Special Relationship start this weekend when Gordon Brown goes to Washington D.C to meet President George W. Bush. The Meeting takes place at Camp David. VIEWS has his doubts that the relationship will be as special as it was between Thatcher/Reagan and Bush and Blair.

The Whole Truth?

It is with great surprise not that VIEWS read that the US Democrats in Congress had called for a Special Prosecutor to look at the possibility that the Attorney General of the United States, Alberto Gonzales had perjured himself before a Congressional Committee. They also want Karl Rove to talk to them hence he has been subpoenaed. The Administration should play hard ball this is a time of war, this is not Watergate no matter what the Democrats think of the matter. Take the matter to the mat, in other words fight them and win.

New Poll - GWU - Battleground 08

A new Poll shows how effective Senator Obama would be in a national match up against Ex - Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani. Here is the raw data:

US Presidential Election in 2008:

Obama 52 %

Giuliani 43 %

On the other hand a match up against Giuliani and Clinton would create the following results.

Giuliani 50 %

Clinton 44 %

It should be noted that neither Fred Thompson or Al Gore have entered the race as of today. But from the Polls it could just be the year for Obama.

Death in Afghanistan

Another Soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, UK deaths now stand at 66. What is the plan for victory, can there be victory in the Bloody Place.

Heroes

Rome has finished, but good old BBC 2 has a great new show, Heroes. I have of course head of it, cant miss it in the Sci - Fiction geek world. Views was one of those that dismissed Buffy the Vampire Slayer because of the name, VIEWS cant be right all the time. As with Buffy I head so much great reviews about the scripts and the acting well gave Buffy a look and was hooked, the best drama on TV in my humble view. As a policy when Views hears so much great reaction to something as with the case with Heroes I try not to like a show, well I admit I was wrong. Of the first two shows it was great and am hooked will be watching for the next 21 weeks on BBC 2 at 9pm.

Death in Afghanistan

Another death in Afghanistan in total 65 UK Service Personnel have been lost. I wish we had a plan for getting out of Afghanistan as we have in Iraq. Afghanistan is a constant worry, how do we win can we win.

Theatre of the Absurd

The Democrats in the House have entered the Theatre of the Absurd. They have cited present and past officials of the Bush Administration for contempt of Congress in the US Attorneys firings. The Bush Administration should not back down as they could and should win in Court.
