Xmas Dr Who

I was watching clips of the BBC shows on BBC 1 at Xmas Time. The reel of clips has moments from the Xmas Dr Who. I wonder did any else notice that one clip had an actor wearing the same costume as the Master had in the mid 1970s. The clip could have been from another show but it could be from Dr Who, is the Master Back?

Who is POTUS ?

The New York Times: Reports on the unusual position of Robert Gates, US Defence Secretary, having two masters to keep happy, Bush 43 till January 20th 2009, and the incoming President Obama. It would be interesting if Bush 43 decided to attack Iran before he left office, would Gates tell Obama if Bush didn't want him to know. Bush 43 will not attack Iran, he will leave Iran to Obama, Iran could also define the Obama Presidency, will Obama prevent Iran becoming a nuclear power. Read of the Day.

Goodbye Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports on the last visit by President George W. Bush to Afghanistan as President of the United States of America. The War in Afghanistan and Iraq has defined the Bush Presidency, the War in Iraq is over, it will become a low level conflict for the Obama Administration. The War in Afghanistan could define the Obama Administration, with the Obama surge next year the War in Afghanistan will become Obama's War. The problem for Obama is that you have Pakistan as a neighbour, the terrorists have free access over the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. If the surge fails in Afghanistan and it can be argued that it cant work given the different conditions of geography and politics then what Iraq did for Bush could happen to Obama. In running a Presidential Campaign you run on poetry, a government is about prose, can Obama be a poet and a writer, they don't often combine in the arts. The folks just might miss Bush when he is gone next year.
