NYT IS SORRY

The New York Times is sorry for the add it ran by MoveOn, what about its other reporting, is it sorry about that, we shall see....

Brown and Election!

I might be wrong but I don't think Gordon Brown will call an election, not this year, this is the man who waited and waited to became Prime Minister, polls are good, but I recall 1992. I don't trust the British people to give truth full answers to questions like that, they have became more canny of telling polling people what they want to hear. I could be wrong but I just doubt he will call an election, in less the economy is going to go down the toilet, War with Iran is coming, then all bets are off, quick election before the problems start, but your guess is as good as mine on this issue reader.

Syria and Israel

The New Republic: A very good article by the respected Diplomat, Dennis Ross, on the strike on Syria by Israel, Ross writes the following, " Israel's raid against the Syrian plant reflects the use of a military instrument applied quite selectively to affect the psychologies of many different actors on the world stage. " This means the West is told, if they don't react over Iran Israel will and the Middle East is told, Israel will not wait for a Arab Nation to develop a nuclear bomb.

Clinton on the LEFT

NY Daily News: Very interesting article on how Hillary Clinton has lurched to the left. How this could be trouble next year if Iraq turns around.

Rather Part Four

Washington Post: Another attack on Dan Rather, at its most basic its calling him a egomaniac and a plonker ( British Slang term for not a bright person ). Its shows how unpopular really is in the Media Industry. Walter Cronkite never had this to deal with after leaving CBS News. The rumour is that Rather kept Cronkite off the air as he wanted to be the face of CBS News.
