Obama the New Nixon in Pakistan

Telegraph: Reports that the Obama Administration is following a twin tack policy in Pakistan and Afghanistan, it will talk to moderate Taliban/Terrorists but it will also hit the Taliban/Terrorists in their safe heavens of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. As with Nixon in Vietnam, the fighting got worse before the Peace Deal, thus it can be postulated that the USA will have to do heavy fighting on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, while making sure the Government in Pakistan does not fall to the terrorists. This plan is very dangerous, could go wrong, the attacks in the Badlands could cause the people to support the terrorists and revolt against the elected Government of Pakistan. The state of Pakistan could fall apart, the terrorists could take over and get their hands on the nuclear weapons of Pakistan. Thus the Obama Administration is walking in the footsteps of Richard Nixon, lets hope Pakistan is not South Vietnam, and we see helicopters taking the US personnel from the Embassy with the terrorists at the door.

North Korea - Combat Ready

Fox News: Reports that North Korea has stated that it is Combat Ready, it will strike back should its missile launch be thwarted. This could be sabre rattling by the Communist North, what do they want, is it another form of blackmail, have they seen the benefits offered to Iran and want the same. Or do they really want an confrontation with the Obama Administration, do they see the USA as weak due to the economic meltdown and the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Lets hope China can control North Korea, its their backyard, time for action China.

War in Korea ?

BBC News: Reports on a threat from North Korea to take military action should its missile launch be thwarted by military means. This could be a warning to Japan, Japan has stated it will shoot down the missile if it is seen as a threat to Japan. Also the US Chairman of the of the Join Chiefs has stated of late that the Obama Administration has not made its mind up either way, to allow the launch or to shoot the missile down. If your Iran when do you think it would be the best time to announce to the world your a member of the nuclear club, lets see when Korea launches it missile, and the the Obama Administration has to decide if it wants another Korean War in the 21 Century. Lets hope Iran is a year off from going nuclear, not sure with the Economic crisis, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Korea that the Obama Administration could cope with Wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea and Iran and the Economic Meltdown of the West.
