Falklands War 11 ?

Telegraph: Reports on the threat to the Falklands Islands by Argentina due to the oil resources, also that the UK Government has placed the Royal Navy on alert to send in ships to protect UK interests in the area. That Argentina would even think of preventing access to ships on their way to the Falklands in UK waters shows how out of touch Argentina is at the moment. The UK is fighting in Afghanistan, the UK Government does not have time to play about with Argentina, any threat or action from Argentina should be meet with equal force. If Argentina shoots at a UK vessel, does not matter if civilian or military the UK should sink that vessel on sight. This is time for UK PM Gordon Brown to find his inner Lady Thatcher, in many respects the Falklands are more important than Afghanistan, they are UK Subjects, the have already been invaded once by Argentina, never again, we lost to many brave soldiers to show any weakness to Argentina, time to show the ruthless side of the British nature.

NATO 1 - Taliban 1 = Afghan Fgiht

The Washington Post: Reports on the slow progress of US Forces in Operation Together, the Marines are taking it slow in the town of Marja in Southern Afghanistan. One can understand the caution when it comes to fighting the Taliban, but at the end of the day the US Army does not have till the end of time to clear house. The Obama Administration does not need another attack on its national security management. The US Commanders on the ground should be given some leeway to run tactics but at the end of the day Obama needs a quick victory, we cant have weeks and months of this kind of slow progress. If local US Commanders wont move fast then POTUS must select those that will get the job done. Operation Together has military and political objectives, the political objective is some good news for the Obama White House, not the feeling that Afghanistan is turning to another Vietnam.

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another UK soldier has died in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 1st Battalion Scots Guards, part of the 1 Grenadier Guards Battle Group". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 263 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 230 in combat operations and 33 due to illness, accidents and other incidents. The Month of February is turning in to a very bloody month for our Armed Forces, lets hope the sacrifice of our brave soldiers is worth it at the end, this reporter has his doubts, when it comes to Afghanistan nothing is really worth the cost to the bereaved families and to the UK.

Reconciliation and Health Care Reform

Fox News: Reports that House and Senate leaders have agreed on a plan to get health care reform through using the reconciliation process, this means that Democrats just need 51 votes in the Senate. There is planned meeting between Republicans and Democrats at the White House to discuss the health care reform bill, the Republicans should only send one person up, an expert on the field to debate President Obama. Also the Republicans should stress the meeting is a sideshow, the Democrats are going to use the nuclear option of 51 votes in the Senate to get health care reform through, after the Democrats use this method the Republicans should run on one simple message, repeal the ObamaCare. The health care reform bill has two political bad sides for Democrats, tax hikes and the forcing Americans to buy health insurance. Thus Republicans should stress that Obama and the Democrats do not get the fact that the US voter dose not want what the are selling, with this message Republicans will take the House and Senate. Then the Obama domestic agenda will be dead on the Hill.

The Afghan War is getting more bloody by the year folks, at what rate of attraction will the War break the UK Army.
