Wiretapping, the LEFT and Obama

The Nation: The bible for Liberals has a go at Obama for supporting Wiretapping of terrorists. This is a good move by Obama, the crackpots on the left care more about the rights of terrorists than the rights of the folks. Good move Obama.

If and When a WAR ?

Newsweek: Looks at the prospects of War between Iran on one side and Israel and USA on the other. It can stated that the train is leaving the station for WAR, the question is not how it can be stopped but should a War be better now than with a nuclear armed Iran.

Metro v Caveman

The Times: How to chat up a woman, what do they want, how can you get lucky. Simple answer be a caddish gentleman, worked for me in half an hour.

A Game ?

New York Times: Interesting article by the Times, it seems that Iran could be going down the road of Iraq pre invasion, it seems that they could be bluffing on the amount of missiles they have to attack the USA and the Israel. Lets get this clear, if Iran is not close to the bomb and is bluffing it should be warned by its friends, it must have friends, that this is not the kind of issue to bluff on with this President. If the USA and Israel do attack lets be sure the intelligence is about 70% correct, not interested in a war over a bluff, we have had one of those its called Iraq.

War ?

BBC News: Reports that the Defence Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, also former PM has given the strongest hint yet that Israel will attack Iran if the Western Powers can not get Iran to back down over its nuclear ambitions. At the end of the day Israel will not allow Iran to threaten the State of Israel, it seems Israel will have to do the dirty work of the West.

Afghanistan not Iraq

New York Times: This is the type of story the NYT should report on, not some agenda. Looks how the Western success in Iraq has forced the terrorists to go back to their former havens of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Read of the Day.

Appeasement and the NYT

New York Times: It did not take long for the Liberal Times to be critical of the new wiretapping law, the Times states the following, " ...it was distressing — and depressing — to watch Congress wrench Americans’ civil liberties back to where they were in the days before Watergate, when the United States government listened to our phone calls whenever it wanted. " The NYT seems to have forgotten about 9/11, and that although Terrorists might work outside the USA, most Internet connections go through the USA. Thus we are in a new day, the government needs this new law, if a terrorist is talking to a fellow terrorist outside the USA but the connection goes through the USA why should the Government need a warrant. The first people I would bug would be the Times, they seem to place their right to publish state secret above the security of the USA. Also they have a go at Senator Obama as he voted for the new law, well he must be doing something right if the Times is on his back, the security of the USA comes first, the Senator voted for the USA, its about time the Times though more about the USA and not the terrorist.

Wiretapping

Washington Post: Reports on another success by the lame duck Bush Administration in getting the Democratic Congress to pass its version of a new wiretapping law after getting money for the War on Terrorism. What is interesting as the WP notes is that Obama supported the Bill after stating he would block it in the Senate. The reason is simple if he wins in November and some act of Terrorism was to happen and it came out that it could have been avoided if the Bill had passed a Obama Administration would be finished before it got started on its agenda.

NUTS !!

New York Post: Reports on the nutty comments by the Reverend Jesse Jackson on his views of Senator Obama. Reverend Jackson has dropped the ball on this, the Obama Camp might have to cut off his speaking access to Obama for a time. The comments which are direct to the point and are ball shattering, shows the different generation view point between Obama and Jackson. These comments in a way help Obama, they show a difference between Obama and past African - American leaders, Jackson does not have universal appeal, Obama has got all his balls in order, as in policy views stressed to the public. The ball is in the air for Obama to hit all the way in to the White House, as long as he does not lose the balls in the air or they are cut off from the left.

The West v Iran

BBC News: Reports that the West is not happy with the sabre rattling of Iran. Talk is cheap, Iran is playing for time, its waiting for a Obama Administration. Iran is counting that Obama will want direct talks, they will play this out, over months and years if they cant get away with such a ploy then they will announce they have the bomb. A Obama Administration facing re - election would be snookered. Then the world will face military and diplomatic tensions, this is the time to act, hit Iran hard now and give the West a few years to breath before having to deal with Iran and its nuclear ambitions.
