Obama on UN Iran SANCTIONS

Well the UN has passed another weak resolution against Iran and what does Obama do, well here are a few of his chosen words, " We made clear from the beginning of my administration that the United States was prepared to pursue diplomatic solutions to address the concerns over Iranian nuclear programs. I extended the offer of engagement on the basis of mutual interest and mutual respect. And together with the United Kingdom, with Russia, China, and Germany, we sat down with our Iranian counterparts. We offered the opportunity of a better relationship between Iran and the international community –- one that reduced Iran’s political isolation, and increased its economic integration with the rest of the world. In short, we offered the Iranian government the prospect of a better future for its people, if -– and only if –- it lives up to its international obligations. ". This sounds like the President of the United States is begging, the leader of the West gives the impression that he bowing to Iran. This impression is helped with the following, "... We’ve made it clear, time and again, that we respect Iran’s right, like all countries, to access peaceful nuclear energy...". Iran has just slapped Obama with a wet fish and he wants Iran to have any nuclear power, how much abuse can a Harvard Graduate take, would not work on a Welshman. There is some teeth in the remarks of President Obama, the President states the following on the UN resolution, " That’s why the international community was compelled to impose these serious consequences. These are the most comprehensive sanctions that the Iranian government has faced. They will impose restrictions on Iran’s nuclear activities, its ballistic missile program, and, for the first time, its conventional military. They will put a new framework in place to stop Iranian smuggling, and crack down on Iranian banks and financial transactions. They target individuals, entities, and institutions -– including those associated with the Revolutionary Guard –- that have supported Iran’s nuclear program and prospered from illicit activities at the expense of the Iranian people. And we will ensure that these sanctions are vigorously enforced, just as we continue to refine and enforce our own sanctions on Iran alongside our friends and our allies. " The above should have been at the start, and the idea of talks and Iran getting nuclear help should have been deleted after the 1st Draft. Obama then undercuts the above with the following remarks, " These sanctions do not close the door on diplomacy. Iran continues to have the opportunity to take a different and better path. I would like nothing more than to reach the day when the Iranian government fulfills its international obligations -– a day when these sanctions are lifted, previous sanctions are lifted, and the Iranian people can finally fulfill the greatness of the Iranian nation. ". It can be argued that Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like a leader, never thought would ever write that sentence. The weakness is built upon with the following, " I want and hope for the people of Iran that the government of Iran will make a different choice. It can make a different choice and pursue a course that will reaffirm the NPT as the basis of global non-proliferation and disarmament -– a course that will advance Iran’s own security and prosperity, and the peace of the wider world...". If your in Tehran you hear weakness, a President that cant hear NO, a President who thinks if he says something that is real, that is a road that has left the US a laughing stock, also a President who will sell out his allies to fit his ow ego of himself, just ask Poland and the Czech Republic. One can postulate that JFK and Reagan would turn their backs on Obama, a weak man and a weak President.

Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has released the name of the British Soldier that was killed on Tuesday in Afghanistan, the Soldier was " Lance Bombadier Mark Chandler from 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, attached to 4th Regiment Royal Artillery, serving as part of Combined Force Nad 'Ali ". Our thoughts are with the family of Lance Bombadier Chandler.

New UN Sanctions on Iran

The New York Times: Reports on new UN sanctions on Iran. The Liberal NYT cant help itself when it comes to Iran, in the very same article the extreme liberal NYT states the following, " Indeed, studies by the United States government have questioned the efficacy of sanctions, especially given Iran’s weight as an oil exporter. ". In other words the sanctions are pointless, the extreme bloated NYT in its hearts of hearts agrees with the disgraced White House reporter Helen Thomas, in the eyes of the NYT Iran can be equated with Israel, they cant see the difference, they would rather that Israel gave up its nuclear defence or that Iran be allowed to get the bomb. These sanctions will not hurt as noted by most reports on the subject, as they do not bring the economy of Iran down or prevent the cars of Iran running, thus the issue is what will the Obama White House do about Iran, this game is getting on for being very tedious. A result will have to happen or Israel will give Obama a result that could lead to a war in the Middle East.

Liberals LOSE in 2010 Race

CNN: Reports on a major loss for Liberals in the run up to the Mid Term Congressional Elections of 2010, the Liberals establishment of the Democratic Party failed to defeat moderate Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln. This should be a political warning to liberals and conservative Democrats who have gone over the cliff with Obama, being a liberal and a Obama supporter could mean the end of your political career. Those Conservative Democrats in the House and the Senate should start fights with the Obama White House, it might be of benefit to be seen as a enemy of the Oval. Obama if he does not move to the centre could find that he has a worse showing than Bill Clinton had in 1994. At least with the Republicans taking the House in 1994 the Oval had to move to the centre, in 1996 Clinton won re-election, but it can be argued that Obama does not have the political skills of Clinton and is to left wing, a loss of the House in 2010 could see Obama lose big in 2012.

What OF Gordon ?

Telegraph: Has a fun article of what ex UK PM Gordon Brown can do with his time since he has lot of it on his hands, since losing the General Election. But on a more serious side Mr Brown should consider writing a full story of New Labour, the whole truth warts and all, at the end of the day it will allow him to settle scores, set a agenda for future historians, get his spin out of his time in 10 Downing Street. The Diaries and the memories will start hitting the book shelf's with the next few months, Mr Brown should not wait for three years, time is book sales can go fast, one can argue that Mr Blair has left it to long, when one thinks about Tony Blair its a noun, and that is Iraq. But Mr Blair can argue with some justification that his time in power reformed the UK system, the Parliament in Scotland, the Senate in Wales, the destruction of the left of the Labour Party, okay he shares that with Lady Thatcher. Thus Mr Brown get that pen out and start to write, history gives you a short time to define your history.

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a British Soldier was killed today in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the " 2nd Battalion The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, attached to 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment, serving as part of Combined Force Nahr-e Saraj (North) ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 294 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 260 in combat operations and 34 due to illness, accidents or incidents.

UK Cuts and the Real World

Telegraph: Reports that the planned Coalition Government cuts will not do the trick to cut the Government debt, the UK will still have to fork out 70 Billion alone on interest payments. In in other words folks, the real action that would have to be taken by the UK Government would be to slash the budget of the NHS in a deep manner, throw people off welfare or force them to take horrible jobs, also limit the role of Government, in other words make President Hoover smile. The problem is folks how much pain will the UK voter take, all the Parties in the UK General Election hid from the voter the real truth of the pain to come, but if planned cuts are not enough, then who is going to tell the voter that extreme pain is needed for their future and future generations. Lets hope the Coalition has got it sums right otherwise we are heading in to a major recession and they will be out on their ear in 2015.

Draft Iran Resolution

As posted yesterday folks the UN will pass another sanctions resolution against Iran, the problem is that China and Russia have made sure that the resolution is weaker than the one that Israel would like to see on the books, it leaves out one important sanctions folks, in does not block the transfer of oil to Iran; Iran produces the stuff but does have the capacity to refine for every day use; thus Iran has stated any new sanctions and they will walk away from any talks about its nuclear ambitions, the NYT/Guardian readers have no problem with Iran getting the bomb, they equate Iran with Israel folks. Thus Iran will use these new sanctions to appeal to the liberals and left in the main stream media, also they will send a ship to Gaza as to seek a confrontation with Israel, this will muddy the waters and will give Iran time to get the bomb. The clock is ticking folks, if you have your head in the sand over this issue its time to smell the coffee otherwise you will wake up one to hear the news that Israel has hit Iran, as Reagan said in 1981 when he heard that Israel had hit Iraq, " Boys will be Boys ", in other words Reagan supported Israel, hand on heart folks can you see Obama supporting an ally, go ask Poland and the Czech Republic if they can count on Obama.
