North Korea - Its War!

CNN News: Reports that Communist North Korea has stated that any action that is taking against it, sanctions or any other measure is an Act of War. To quote Mr Holmes, the game is afoot, North Korea is playing a game, its placing pressure on the Obama Administration. It wants one to one talks with the USA, it will place pressure on the USA and South Korea, it will take its time in getting in those talks. Then after the talks start, expect slow and very tedious up and downs, North Korea will never give up its nuclear or missile ambitions, why would they, Obama is seen as weak. At the end of the day this is common blackmail, just Obama will have to figure how much its going to cost, money wise and diplomatic terms to keep North Korea quite. The major end result is that Iran will follow the path of North Korea.

Future problems in Iraq

The Washington Post: Has a timely editorial of the increase of violence in Iraq. The WP writes the following, "... already there is cause for concern. During the past month security around the country has been slipping: At least 37 people have been killed in four major attacks on security forces in the past week alone, and there have been multiple car bombings in Baghdad and other cities.... " That is the problem when you give out timetables for withdrawal, the iconic image of the last helicopter out of Saigon in South Vietnam is something that President Obama does not need. The Bush surge has worked, Obama can not afford to lose Iraq. The Terrorists want to claim that they pushed the USA out of Iraq, also Iran wants to place pressure on Obama, they want a deal, no support of the terrorists in Iraq and they can become a nuclear power. Thus expect more violence in Iraq, expect Iran to support the terrorists. This will place Obama in a tight spot, he can not afford lose Iraq to Iran. Thus Obama can be expected to do a new deal with Iraq, extend the time that American troops will be in Iraq, this deal can wait till next year, but before 2011 Obama needs a new deal. A deal with Iraq would gain the following, it would be a warning to the terrorists that the USA is not going down the South Vietnam route, also it would keep pressure on Iran. Thus at the end of the year Obama will have to deal with some tough Foreign Policy issues, what do with the terrorists that are on Cuba, if he moves them to the USA homeland this will cost him in political terms, no town or city wants well known terrorists next thank you very much, also Iran and Iraq, Iran by the end of the next year should be a nuclear power and Iraq might get more violent. Lets recall that it was Foreign Policy that bought down Carter in 1980.

NYT critical of Obama - Good Day for Obama

The New York Times: The liberal left wing Times is critical of Obama and his Administration, the NYT writes the following, " (Obama 's).... administration has shown a tendency for compromise and caution, and even a willingness to capitulate on some early initiatives. ". The more the President has critical comments from the liberal NYT, the better it is for him in the long term. Obama at the end of the day will disappoint the Times, the Times out there on the extreme left, that why its sales is going down the toilet. Its odd but the reports by the NYT on Afghanistan and Pakistan are informative and fair. But when it comes to most other areas it has an agenda, is so out there it cares more about the rights of terrorists than of American citizens. It should be recalled that the Times covered up for a mass murder that is Stalin. A once great newspaper is nothing better that paper to have your fish and chips with on a Saturday Night.

Israel ready to attack Iran

The Times: Reports that the Israeli military is ready to attack Iran when its given the green light. If the approach that Obama is talking at the minute to Iran and North Korea is any guide then Israel should hit Iran hard now, Obama seems to think he is in some 80s seminar, he was taking notes when the President of Nicaragua was attacking US Foreign Policy. Thus by the grace of God, and to protect Israel and Western Security do what has to be done, ATTACK IRAN please Israel, the West cant wait for Obama to learn that he is POTUS.

New USA - Obama Style

Fox News: Reports that President Obama had to tolerate an attack on the US Foreign Policy by the President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega. The regime of Ortega was an old enemy of Ronald Reagan, Obama from the report seems to think that US Foreign Policy starts with him , bit like Khmer Rouge and their year zero. Obama has to learn that he is the President of the United States, this is not some seminar discussion. The Ortega attack would include JFK and Reagan and most US Presidents. The Obama view that since he is now President that he has no connection to the past shows why the UK should worry about Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Obama year dot view does recall the 1997 New Labour view, thus we saw Tony Blair run us in to a War in Iraq and make the House a Commons a rubber stamp. Obama should have come out fighting and defended JFK and Reagan, he has to recall that Reagan become heroic in part by invoking great Presidents. It seems Obama is reading his own press statements, that Star of Berlin last year has decided like Tony Blair that the past does not matter, the past does matter Mr President, its Liberal types like you that would have kept the Berlin Wall Up.

Who Runs Iran ?

BBC News: Reports that the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has come out and stated than a Iranian-American Reporter that has been jailed for being a Spy should have her full rights in Court. What is Ahmadinejad up to, lets be clear the President does not give a dam about the report, thus this action has more to with the election that he faces this year. The moderates in Iran are running one candidate, thus Ahmadinejad faces two problems, the moderate are united and he does not have Bush 43 to be critical about any more. Thus Ahmadinejad is playing a very crafty game, he wants to appeal to conservative moderates by stating this view about the reporter also by stating that he will talk to the Obama Administration. This is all a game, once the election is over and he wins, expect tedious talks like North Korea over Iran's nuclear plans. At the end of the day Iran wants to be a player, thus it will go nuclear, Israel will hit Iran and Iran will cause mayhem in Iraq. The left and liberals cant face this fact, thus attempt to see some good in Ahmadinejad. It is reported that Ahmadinejad was one of the jailers of the American hostages in Iran, between 1979/81. President Obama will have to face the choice, appease Iran or allow Israel to hit Iran. Its that stark and simple folks.
