The New York Times: Reports that Taliban from Afghanistan and Pakistan will come together to fight the West in Afghanistan. This is excellent reporting by the Liberal NYT . If this story is true, the War in Afghanistan just go worse, a lot worse. The Government of Pakistan will be happy, they should get less attacks but the West in the shape of the USA and the UK just got a lesson in how bad this War could get this year. As reported today in the London Times the UK Army is thinking of sending another two thousand troops to Afghanistan, this could be needed, the Taliban/Terrorists want to show that Obama is weak. Thus President Obama will face a tough year, we have North Korea and its missile launch, Afghanistan could get a lot more bloody, it will become Obama's War. In Iraq we have seen some raise in attacks but it looks like the Bush Surge has worked. If Obama is seen as weak in North Korea this could be seen as a green light for Iran to go nuclear. Israel will never allow that, thus expect action by Israel. On the economic front the Obama Administration wants the West to spend money to get the economic system out of this recession/depression, those countries in the EU want to regulate but not spend. Thus the G2o conference should be a failure. Read of the Day.
