Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 11 EOD Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 247 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 214 in combat operations and 33 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. The question is how many more deaths this year, will it be worse than 2009.

Avatar - Film Review

Telegraph: Reports that the film Avatar directed by Titanic Director James Cameron has been accused of being racist. That is rubbish folks, its the most PC film you will see this year, wont tell you the ending but the wrong side won, in the real world if its between Earth vs Any Planet the Earth lot will do what takes to win. If you followed the outcome of the film there would never have been a United States, the " evil " the White man would have been taken out by the good Native Americans, with their bows taking down the bad railway. Folks this blog is about the real world, the world is a better place with the United States, lets be clear here folks, what the white Americans did to the Native Americans was wrong, but as Darwin stated the strong win that is the way of the world, also the film is about Iraq, yes it took years to get the right result but Iraq on the whole is at peace, yes the terrorists have had a few successful bomb attacks but the elections are still going to happen, Iraq has come through hell, they have seen the light, and that is no small part is down to the United States. Again for dim LIBERALS, if your a racist you need to get rid of those evil ideas, you treat people by the content of their character not their colour. Right back to the film, it was the event of the year for this film buff, images came out of the screen, you could touch the beauty that was Pandora, yes the MAN was wrong, but again when it comes to down the Earth vs Any other Planet this blog wants to send in the Starship Troopers, they will win, at the end of the day its about the Earth, simple question, is the USA good or bad, your view of this post depend on that answer. If you still think Avatar is racist you have just lost the plot or a New York Times reader, the same thing in my book.

Rahm Emanuel on the WAY OUT?

Politico: Reports on the speculation that the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel could be on the way out. As a political operator Mr Emanuel is the best, he helped the Democrats retake the House from the Republicans, but as a Chief Staff is is lousy, think of Obama's poll ratings, they have gone south in a major way, the RCP average of Polls has Obama on 48.8% approval and 45.8 disapproval, the job of a Chief of Staff is to tell the President NO sometimes, its not to follow your own Agenda, the problem is that Mr Emanuel is a political animal in his own right, this has not be common to most Chief of Staffs of late, the last was Dick Cheney, what happened to him, yes Vice - President of the United States. A good Chief of Staff has to be ruthless but also has to have the ability to tell the POTUS that he is out of his mind, look at the effect of health care on the Obama ratings. If the Democrats lose the House in 2010 and the Republicans pick a few Senate Seats the Obama Agenda is dead on the Hill, no second chances. Thus it can be postulated that POTUS will show Emanuel the door should he lose the Hill. This my prediction that Mr Emanuel will be in the cold in the New Year of 2011.

PC and Senator Harry Reid

It seems that Political Correctness can even catch liberals, it has been reported that the Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid made racist comments about President Obama, to the effect that he was not a real African - American, and his language did not represent African -Americans. The President stated the following on hearing the news, " "Harry Reid called me today and apologized for an unfortunate comment reported today. I accepted Harry's apology without question because I've known him for years, I've seen the passionate leadership he's shown on issues of social justice and I know what's in his heart. As far as I am concerned, the book is closed." Lets be honest here if I was Republican I would be calling for the political head of Harry Reid, but this is fair blog, Harry Reid is a Liberal and a firm supporter of POTUS. Also lets state when Obama was running in 08 he had to put up with the same comments from some in the old 60s civil rights movement. Thus Republicans should take Senator Reid down in the 2010 Mid Term Congressional Elections, they should not play this kind of dirty pool, but lets be clear, the next time a Republican gets in to trouble over race the Democrats cant use it to attack, they get one out of jail card, and Harry Reid has just used that card.
