What Next in the War ?

The New York Times: Reports that Russian Troops have moved closer the Georgian Capital. The Russians are playing chicken, they want to provoke the Georgian Troops to hit them, then they can take over Georgia. The problem is the USA will not allow that at the end of the day, the Russians should be happy with their gains.

The Friday Polls - US Election

Its that time of week folks, the Polls. Here are the tracking polls from the USA.

Gallup: Reports a tied race between McCain and Obama. The Poll finds the following, McCain 44% - Obama 44%. The War between Russia and Georgia could have helped McCain, it plays in to his positives on National Security, also the weakness of Obama shows, his measured statement to the War might be Presidential but he is not President yet, that arrogance again coming through. Also going on Holiday in a time of growing World tension shows a lack of judgement. Lets see how the Polls stand next week, the Democratic Convention is coming up, this should give Obama a bounce, but it should be noted that Kerry got a negative bounce from his Convention.

Rasmussen: Reports that Obama is ahead by 2%, the poll finds the following, Obama 47% - McCain 45%. As noted in previous posts, Obama needs a bigger lead, in these close polls at the end of the day McCain will win, we recall N.H. The voter does not tell the truth, Obama has to move to the centre right, had get a bigger lead or he will lose and then we will have Hillary Clinton in 2012. Smell the Coffee Senator Obama, ditch the left wing and move to the centre right.

Russia OUT

BBC News: Reports the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice has demanded that Russian forces leave Georgia, after Georgia signed off on the Ceasefire Deal. The big question is what if Russia does not leave, what if its starts to believe its own press statements. The Threat to Poland and the Russian slow progress in leaving Georgia means the West has to place Russia in the cold freezer, it has to learn a lesson, its not a Super Power, that went with the demise of the Evil Soviet Union.

Poland under Threat ?

Telegraph: Reports that Russia has stated that Poland is now a target for Russia's nuclear planning. Russia should recall that Poland is part of NATO, all for one being its foundation, the Russians really need to smell the coffee, Poland is not Georgia, any move on Poland will be seen as a war between NATO and Russia.

Bush or Russia

The White House: President Bush has stated the following on the War between Russia and Georgia, " With its actions in recent days Russia has damaged its credibility and its relations with the nations of the free world. Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century. " The President has to be even tougher, he should go to the Ukraine and declare that the USA will protect the people of the Ukraine and also any threat to Poland is a threat to the NATO. The Russians are not happy that the the USA has placed the Son of SDI in Poland. As Poland is part of NATO, Russia has to be careful, Georgia is one thing, the backbone of NATO is all for one, so Russia better not believe its own press statements.

Obama and Tax

Another excellent attack Ad by the McCain Camp. Thus we have Obama as arrogant, as in Moses, weak, his response to the War between Russian and Georgia, and even worse he wants to raise the tax of those Americans who hold on their traditional values because they are bitter. Obama is being defined by McCain and Hillary Clinton, he was rolled at the Convention.
