Death in Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that another British Soldier has died in Afghanistan. The Soldier was from the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment. In total from the MOD, the UK Armed Forces have lost 179 personnel. In combat the UK has lost 148, through accidents, illness or other incidents the total is 31. Thus the UK has lost ten soldiers in ten days. Why do I have this nasty feeling when we look back, when we are out of Afghanistan, we will say WHY, Afghanistan is the War Obama wants to fight, well let him, the UK has done its bit, time to get out and rebuild our Forces.

No Tax Cuts !!

The New York Times: Has an article by the Nobel Prize winning economist, Paul Krugman, Mr Krugman states the following on the Obama Economy and future spending, " including, quite possibly, another round of stimulus — may be necessary. " I have read the article twice, but in less I missed it, Mr Krugman does not mention tax cuts, the one sure way to get the economy going out of a recession. If you spend money more money when the first stimulus did not work you invite inflation. The Obama Economic Plan has not worked, Obama should follow the path of Ronald Reagan, cut taxes, cut government spending with the exception of Defence and not try to create a NHS in the USA. Please read this article and if you see tax cuts mentioned please reply to this post. Why are Liberals afraid to give money back to the tax payer, it seems they are more interested in backgrupting the USA, can I get Nobel Prize in Economics, my following the Reagan plan would work for the USA.

Nuclear Iran within Year

TJP: Reports that Iran could go nuclear with a year. If Iran goes nuclear and it has the ability to place nuclear warheads on its missiles the region could get very hot. Lets recall it has a very close relationship with the Stalinist North Korea. The Times of London has reported that North Korea can already place miniature warheads on its missiles, thus its a nuclear power. As the UN has placed sanctions on North Korea that prevents it sending missiles outside North Korea the Stalinist Government could try to get money by selling information to Iran on how to develop its nuclear and missile abilities. Also the Foreign Policy in Iran will be effected by the stolen election, the Government of Iran has already stated that the protesters are being lead by the West, thus to divert attention from internal problems Iran could push its nuclear progress, thus develop the bomb and missile abilities. This would force the Obama Administration to allow Israel to hit Iran, this from Tehran might not be a bad result, the Government in Iran would ask for unity, it would get support, it would divert attention to the West, thus as an politician once stated, all politics is local.

Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that two British Soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, one soldier was from the " 4th Battalion The Rifles " and the other soldier was from the " The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment attached to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. " In total the UK has lost 178 Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, the break down is as follows, of that 178, 147 have died in combat, while 31 have died of illness, accidents or other incidents. This is the ninth death is nine days, at what point does this level of attrition of our troops become a military problem. The UK will be in Afghanistan for years, how many more good men and women will be lost in War we cant win. That simple and brutal folks.
