NYT and Clinton Again !!

The New York Times: It can be postulated that the Liberal New York Times really does not want Hillary Clinton to be Secretary of State, in this article the Times writes the following, " Mrs. Clinton taking a top job in the cabinet: she would presumably have to disclose much more about Mr. Clinton’s earnings, especially from foreign sources, and donors to his presidential library than they have been willing to disclose so far." One can wonder why the Liberal New York Times would not want Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, it is simple, they want to talk to Iran and other rogue nations without conditions, they want the UN to have a veto of US Foreign Policy. The Clintons are smart political operators, if the Liberal Times is opposed to policy its almost always a good policy. The Clintons, in this I count both Bill and Hillary Clinton will make the State Department an alternative power base. The Liberal Times wants the Clintons gone, a Secretary Clinton would send them over the edge.

NYT and Clinton

The New York Times: Reports on the prospect that Senator Hillary Clinton could become the Secretary of State in the Obama Administration. One gets the impression that that the Liberal Times is not that keen, it writes the following, " it was unclear how seriously Mr. Obama was considering bringing Mrs. Clinton, his onetime rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.....Democrats close to both the Clinton and Obama camps cautioned that Mr. Obama might simply be sounding out Mrs. Clinton about what, if anything, she would be interested in...." Lets be honest the Clintons are to centre for the Liberal New York Times, a Secretary of State Clinton is not going to be the fall guy for a weak Obama Foreign Policy, don't expect Clinton to fly to Iran for a quick visit. The Clintons know that it all this gushing for Obama can go away, it did for them, if Obama becomes another Jimmy Carter they want the freedom to run against him in 2012. Lets recall 1976, Vietnam and Economic problems, and what did we see, Reagan run against President Ford, nearly defeated a President of the United States. If Obama fails expect Clinton to resign as Secretary of State and run against him. Of course it can be argued that Obama can also read the political news forecast, in case his Administration goes down the toilet due to the economic problems he wants to make sure the Clintons are in his tent. Thus it could be a good move by Obama to have Clinton at State as long as Foreign Policy run from the Oval Office.

Major Terrorist Threat ?

The Times: Reports that President - Elect Obama is being warned by Western leaders and Intelligence that he could face a major terrorist attack in this transition period. As stated in this blog new Western Leaders are tested, Clinton in 1993, bombing of the World Trade Centre, Bush in 2001 with 9/11, Brown in 07 with the failed attack in London and the attack in Scotland. Thus one can postulate that there will be an attack, the question is when and how major. The Times article states that badlands on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is a perfect base as to plan such attack, as West has major problems in preventing the terrorists coming over the border from Pakistan to Afghanistan. In the Presidential Campaign, President - Elect Obama stated that he would strike in Pakistan, this has not gone down well in Pakistan, let recall Pakistan is a nuclear power, we need Pakistan as a friend. If the terrorists take over Pakistan, the last few years will look like happy hour at your nearest pub. LETS HOPE INTELLIGENCE IS ON THE BALL.
