BBC News: Reports that President Obama has followed past policy and will carry on with sanctions against Iran. Iran has a Presidential Election coming up in June, the Obama Administration will not soften its hand with Iran in till Iran at least elects a semi moderate President. Thus the Obama Administration will carry on with a twin track policy, on the one hand, it will state it will want to talk but will still carry a big stick. If Iran wants talks it will have to elect a President who does not want to destroy Israel. Thus a good move by President Obama on the political and policy front.

Obama No Let Up On Sanctions On Iran
BBC News: Reports that President Obama has followed past policy and will carry on with sanctions against Iran. Iran has a Presidential Election coming up in June, the Obama Administration will not soften its hand with Iran in till Iran at least elects a semi moderate President. Thus the Obama Administration will carry on with a twin track policy, on the one hand, it will state it will want to talk but will still carry a big stick. If Iran wants talks it will have to elect a President who does not want to destroy Israel. Thus a good move by President Obama on the political and policy front.
April Crisis for Obama - North Korea
CNN News: Reports that North Korea will launch its suppose Satellite in April. The April launch will show if President Obama has the backbone to shoot down the missile, the test if allowed to go ahead would allow North Korea to test its missile's ability to reach the USA. Also Japan has stated it will shoot down the missile if it is seen as a threat to Japan, Japan will use the Son of SDI to shoot down the missile if it is a threat. Thus expect tension in early April folks, what will North Korea do and what will China allow her Satellite to do on the International Front.
US Calming Pakistan ?
The New York Times: Reports that the US is trying to calm the political tensions in Pakistan. Pakistan is heading to be a failed state, lets be honest that would not matter but for the fact that Pakistan is a nuclear armed power and the USA and the UK needs Pakistan to fight the terrorists in the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The West, the USA and the UK have to get the elites in Pakistan to share power, then get them to fight the terrorists. If Pakistan fails, the USA and the UK don't have a policy for Afghanistan, the tea bags will really hit the fan if we lose Pakistan as an Ally in the War on Terror. Keep an eye on Pakistan people, expect more trouble and grief.
The New Obama Plan for Afghanistan - The Answer Pakistan
Fox News: Reports that the Obama White House after a review of Afghanistan policy has come up with the idea that Pakistan should take on the terrorists in the safe heavens of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The question one has to ask what are they smoking these days at the Obama White House, Pakistan is in near civil war, the political elites are at each others throats, the government is appeasing the Taliban/Terrorists in the Swat Valley. The police are either very bad at policing or they are corrupt are working with the terrorists. The badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan has never been under total control of Pakistan, even the UK at the time of the British Empire had problems with the Tribes. That why we would send over the odd plane with a bomb to make a point. If this is the best that the Obama White House can come up with the West is in World of hurt to come in the region. In other words the USA and the UK are bogged down in a War we are not winning and cant win, and there is no real military or political solution, o yes Northern Ireland has started up again. Thus we have the economic meltdown of the West, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq problems, we have North Korea planning a missile launch in April and Iran will have the nuclear bomb soon. Those that think that the world is coming to an end in 2012 might have made a good bet.
The Brown Economic Plan for the World - The EU SAYS NO
Telegraph: Reports that the Economic Plan devised by UK PM Gordon Brown for the Western Economic System has been give the boot by France and Germany, the US has smelled the Coffee and thus is keeping its power dry. The Telegraph reports that President Obama is not looking for an agreement at the G2O Conference in London. If PM Brown was expecting support from France and Germany he does not know history, if your going to be stabbed in the back it will come from France and Germany. At the end of the day its about politics, no politicians is going to allow his economy or his or her future to be decided by another country. No US President is going to give his political future over to Europe, even Obama. PM Brown is whistling pass the political graveyard, he will be out next year, its election time in the UK in 2010. Obama and the EU leaders are not going to support a political finished leader, Brown is old news, just no one in the Cabinet has to guts to tell him its over, time for a new leader of the Labour Party.
The US Navy to the Rescue!
The Times: Reports that the Obama Administration is sending the US Navy to the South China Sea to protect its Intelligence Ship that is the region. President Obama does not what happened to Bush 43 to happen to him, in the first months of the Bush Administration, China bought down a US Air Force Intelligence Plane. Thus Obama is sending a message to China, he will not be pushed around like Bush 43. China should be more worried about North Korea and its missile launch, it can play games with the USA later on, North Korea should be its main worry at the moment.
