Around and Around and NOTHING - Iran

BBC News: Reports that the Veto powers of the UN Security Council are meeting to discuss a fourth round of sanctions against Iran. One simple result folks, weak sanctions, neither China or Russia want tough sanctions, they want the US under Obama to force the issue with Iran as to keep their hands clean. Any new sanctions will be weak, Iran wants the bomb and has slapped Obama so many times he must punch drunk. The Tehran Regime has seen the forced respect that North Korea had demanded, lets recall Iran still has American holidaymakers in their jails, just waiting for that public trial. The Obama Administration in public states it will not tolerate a nuclear armed Iran, but even the liberal New York Times has stated that on the ground polices, such as placing anti missile shield in Middle East Allies of the US is a form on Cold War containment. Thus the question is not what the US will settle for it, its what Israel will tolerate. It can be argued that Israel has no reason to do any favours for Obama, his humiliation of the Israeli PM shows that Obama is more keen to bow to the enemies of the US than to its friends. Thus since Israel is in the dog house it might as well strike Iran, that would really show President Obama that Israel understand the Chicago way.

The Left and the New Start Treaty

Mother Jones: Reports that the new Start Treaty has some Republican support from those that worked for Ronald Reagan and Bush 41, the article states that if the Treaty is blocked by Republican Senators this could cause "......criticism from Republicans and that a campaign of obstruction against the treaty could cause a split on the right. " As stated yesterday the liberal elite are worried that Obama might face defeat in the 2012 Presidential Election. These liberals see the attack ads already, that Obama sold out the Czech Republic for a peace of paper, in the form of Neville Chamberlain. Also the humiliation of the Israeli PM shows that Obama is more interested in bowing to the elite press viewpoint than supporting an Ally. Thus the Elite Media is trying to cover Obama with making connections to Ronald Reagan, either through Reagan’s aim to get rid of nuclear weapons or to get former Reagan Admin Officials to support Obama’s Foreign Policy. There is a problem folks, Obama is no Reagan, neither tough or pragmatic, Obama is just another copy of Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale.

Boer War and Afghanistan

BBC History: An Essay on British Strategy in the Boer War of 1899 - 1902. As stated in previous post this blog support winning the War in Afghanistan, if we have to be brutal but effective so be it, if that means a scorched earth policy combined with the Hamlet policy of the Vietnam War then let it be, in Vietnam the people from the Villages had their communities moved to secure Hamlets. Thus if the Taliban didn't have local support support and the Army of Pakistan could really move up to the boarder then they could be crushed. The more years we spend in Afghanistan the more we shall be seen as invaders, more UK deaths, lets finish this operation, I would rather get harsh words from the Guardian and the New York Times that lose one more member of the Armed Forces. Its is harsh and God forgive me but it might be the only result that will work in the War.

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a Welsh Soldier was killed yesterday in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh (Royal Welch Fusiliers) ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 281 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 248 in combat operations and 33 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. It can be postulated that the Taliban/Al Qaeda will use the election the UK to stress more attacks on UK forces in Afghanistan. Lets hope the military top brass have taken this under consideration, in other words our Armed Forces Personnel in combat action should shoot first and ask questions later, a lot later. The Taliban/Al Qaeda don't play by Western rules, and to be honest this blog is getting angry at the huge loss of our Forces, if the enemy is not playing by the rules of WAR it about time we started to use the methods from later stages of the Boer War in South Africa, harsh, brutal but effective, lets win this war, otherwise it will turn in another Basra, and a defeat.

Afghanistan Front News
