Not WW3 ?
New York Times: Interesting article in the NYT on the reaction to the view in the White House that a Nuclear Armed Iran could lead to WW3. The paper of record takes a different view, its shows a picture from a seminal American TV movie, The Day after, done in the mid 80s to show the USA after a War. Ironic it was shown here in the UK on the Sci- Fi Channel. The paper of record sees it as " more like chess " game within the context of the USA and Russian relationship. That's the problem with the New York Times, it sees what it wants to see, this hard ball politics, its a chess game yes but the object of the game is to prevent a nuclear armed Iran. If Diplomacy fails and it will, the games will end and the West will have to hit Iran hard. The winner can only be the West, nothing less would be a victory for Iran, and we are back to the 1930s again, then Israel would have to hit Iran from the Air, and if that happens that could cause havoc in the Middle East. The West, UK, USA and France must act to protect the national security of the West.
Iran Threat ?
Sunday Times ( UK ): A very interesting article in the Sunday Times, the heating up of the forth coming confrontation with Iran. The Paper states the following, " BRITISH special forces have crossed into Iran several times in recent months as part of a secret border war against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Al-Quds special forces. " It can be formulated that a attack on Iran will occur within a year, Iran is not willing to give up its development of a nuclear weapon, its a threat to Western interests in Iraq and Afghanistan. The time for Diplomacy is not long, if the government in Iran wont change its policy and the people are to afraid to take action the UK and the USA and even France will have to hit Iran hard from the air. The Special forces of the West should be in Iran NOW, they should use the time to create resistance networks within the country, scout for sites that have nuclear development, also if possible disturb the civic structure and economy, or least have plans to act if the order should come. THE ORDER WILL COME THAT IS THE SAD PART.
Afghanistan Troops
BBC: Reports that the UK might send more troops to Afghanistan, this is not a good idea, my views on our deployment in Afghanistan is on record. What about our NATO allies, its about time they spent their treasure in Forces and Money. Troops in to Iraq yes, not to Afghanistan. Nice people on the whole but they don't like foreign troops on their soil for a long time.
