Washington Post vs Obama

Washington Post: A very good Editorial form the WP, Obama's policy on Iraq is a massive National Security mistake, the Post writes the following, " Whether or not the war was a mistake, Iraq's future is a vital U.S. security interest. If he is elected president, Mr. Obama sooner or later will have to tailor his Iraq strategy to that reality. " Obama had the chance to show some backbone yesterday but he failed, he can not not win if he is seen as weak on National Security, and if he does win he will have to change policy, what will the left think then, this is the time for the Senator to change his mind, when he goes to Iraq he will have a chance to refine his policy, should he stay with his timetable he will lose the election, its that simple folks.

Leak Case!

CNN: Reports that the Bush Administration has evoked the classic cover up tool in the view of the Elite Media, Executive Privilege to prevent the interview between the Vice - President and Prosecutors on the Plame Case, from seeing the light of day. The left will argue this is another example of the Bush Administration above the law, the right will argue that there was no case to answer. It comes down to your political point of view and judgement.

West Attacks Pakistan Badlands

New York Times: Reports that Western Forces have attacked terrorist bases in Pakistan, but not with land forces. Afghanistan is a double edge sword for Obama, he has stressed Afghanistan as the real front of the War, but over the last two months Afghanistan has taken more in Western Troops Deaths than Iraq. The success of the surge in Iraq and the low level troop deaths has helped the McCain Campaign. If Obama wins and places more troops in Afghanistan it would show that he has not learnt form History. The might of the USSR was forced out of Afghanistan and helped with the downfall of the Soviet Empire. A Obama Presidency could be held hostage to Afghanistan. On the other hand a McCain Presidency would allow for victory in both countries.

Elite Media and Obama

New York Times: Are the Elite Media worried if Obama gets elected, that their audience and their pay masters, wont allow any critical or fun remarks about a Obama Administration. Ms Dowd gives that impression, she writes the following, " ....if Obama gets elected and there is nothing funny about him, it won’t be the economy that’s depressed. It will be the rest of us. " This argument has two aspects, one as noticed by Left Wing Bloggers trying to shut down blogs that are critical of Obama. The left cant not take argument, if you challenge them you are anti green, a racist, a warmonger, that is the lack of brain you are dealing with when you deal if you have to with off beam left wing bloggers and voters. On the other hand there is white guilt, if your an elite media type and white you feel you are to blame for the slavery and the Civil War. That the failure of the Civil Rights movement on the home front is a white guilt issue. Thus you can not attack Obama. One word folks, bollocks, it easy to attack Obama on policy, depending on which policy he has changed, you deal with him as a politician. That is showing respect, colour does not matter, he's wrong about Iraq, does not matter if he was white, black or French. Obama given the polls could be the next POTUS but he is a man and a politician, to treat him otherwise would show a lack of respect, to take notice of his colour and therefore refine from stating a view that is opposed to his is a form of paternal racism. All politicians who stand deserve to be examined and laughed at, if you don't think so look at the present state of the world.
