Balls Balled out of Labour Contest ?

Telegraph: Reports that the Ed Balls the Shadow Education Secretary and contender in the Labour Leadership contest is thinking of pulling out of the race and he has not gained enough Union support. As the article notes the race for the leadership is coming down to Ed and David Miliband, this is worse than when Gordon Brown pulled out of the 1994 contest against Tony Blair, brother and against brother, this shows that Ed Miliband has bigger flaws that Gordon Brown, he has moved to the left, promising all the Unions that they would want to support him, his election would be a disaster for Labour, he would move the Party to the left, the Miliband Christmas Family gatherings would make the Blair/Brown meetings look cordial. This race has in a odd way the echoes of the race between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown but worse, it can be argued that Ed Miliband would lead Labour to defeat at the next election, thus the Labour Party would end up going for the senior brother David Miliband, the ex Foreign Secretary, perhaps Labour wants to move to the left to find its soul after Tony Blair but the election of Ed Miliband would bury New Labour and allow the Coalition a chance to rule for ten years, does Labour want to play that price, what Mrs Miliband was thinking to allow her sons to run is beyond reason, this is a time for a parent to lay down the law to the junior brother, in this case Ed Miliband, this will be a disaster for Labour.

Nuclear Deterrent Threat from North Korea - Bad Bluff

BBC News: Reports that North Korea has threatened to use its Nuclear Deterrent when the US and South Korea start their military exercises. Thus this is the worse kind of bluff folks, in less North Korea wants to commit suicide it will not attack the US Ships or South Korea, this is an attempt to rattle the Obama White House, its nuclear blackmail, think if it was Iran. Thus POTUS should get on with the military exercise but should add more US Ships just in case and place US Forces in the region on alert, just in case North Korea wants to start a War.
