Is Gordon Brown Losing the Plot ?

The Daily Mail: Reports on the stability of the UK PM Gordon Brown. It seems from reports that our PM might need Prozac if he reacts this baldy to questions from reporters. This is why Gordon Brown is a dodo in political terms, he does not have the political skills of Tony Blair or President Obama. If New Labour wants to fall off a cliff keep a glum and dour Gordon Brown as PM. Also Labour spin masters, drop the constant argument that it is substance that matters, in other words our leader is toast but we cant get rid of him so please be nice to him, we don't want him on Prozac!! The sad part is that Gordon Brown has put the rest of the UK on Prozac.

The Power Meet over Afghanistan at the White House

The New York Times: Reports on the review of Afghanistan by the Obama Administration, the President will discuss the McChrystal report with the US Command in Afghanistan, General McChrystal. The NYT writes the following on the meeting, " McChrystal has not spoken with Mr. Obama since submitting his grim assessment of the war a month ago..." Lets hope President Obama listens to General McChrystal and his Military advisers and not the Vice President Biden. The President is facing contrasting opinions, the US military under General McChrystal in Afghanistan wants forty thousand more troops, while VP Biden wants to reduce troops and use drones to attack Al Qaeda in Pakistan. The President from leaks wants to take his time over such an important decision, but perception is reality, the President is facing the perception that he is weak, that could lead Iran to push for the bomb. Thus an attack by Israel, it is important that the President comes to a quick and correct decision, if he follows the Biden view it can be guaranteed that Israel will see that this is weak and they have to defend their own national security.
