Gurdian: Reports on critical comments of Pakistan by Coalition PM David Cameron, the Prime Minister stated that in essence Intelligence network of Pakistan, the ISI was exporting terror to its neighbours and around the world. The PM is right, but one can argued that this rebuke to a close ally should have been done behind close doors in Pakistan and not on the ground of India the mortal enemy of Pakistan in the eyes of Pakistan. But it is done, thus Government of Pakistan has to reign in the ISI, it can have it cake and eat it, in other words it cant have money from the West, the USA and the UK while funding and supporting the Taliban as to gain the upper hand in Afghanistan and keep India and the region on its toes. Lets hope this blunt and frank comments are heard in Pakistan.

The Law and Al Gore
The Telegraph: Reports that former US VP Al Gore, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Oscar winner and close loser of the 2000 election has been questioned by police over an allegation of sexual assault. Not withstanding the case, that is under legal review, it will be interesting to see how the elite media run with this story, if it was a Republican it would be all over the press and media, lest see, Bill Clinton must be laughing his backside off, all the morality arrows that he had to take from Al Gore before and after the 2000 election.
Afghanistan Front News
MOD: Has announced the name of the UK Soldier that was killed on Monday in Afghanistan, the Soldier was “ Sapper Mark Antony Smith, 36 Engineer Regiment, serving with the Counter-IED Task Force ”. Our thoughts are with the family of Sapper Smith.
Obama's Polls
RCP Polls: Reports on the nosedive in the Osama’s polls, their average of the polls has Obama’s job performance approval at 45.7% and disapproval at 49.0%. These are not great numbers to go in to the Mid Term Congressional Elections with, a lot on the Hill will be asking do they want Obama in their State or District, the Obama success on the Hill with his economic package, health care reform and regulation of the banks is not getting people back to work, with such a high level of unemployment around the country the Democrats face a wave election, this could see the House go Republican and the Senate being close to a tie. If this was the result President Obama would be forced to move to the centre in his last two years in office, this would drive Liberals up the wall, and could cost Obama the Presidency in 2012 or the reverse, he could get back Conservative Democrats, floating voters, white voters, small business owners, it will be up to Obama to decide does he want a second terms or does he want to be another LBJ. Johnson had the Great Society between 1964 - 1968 but still go his backside kicked out of office, and the Republicans in power for most of the Century.
Cameron ATTACKS Labour over AV VOTE
BBC News: Reports that Coalition PM David Cameron has attacked the Labour Party for stating that it oppose the Referendum Bill before Parliament even after it was in their 2010 Manifesto. The reason that the Labour Party is withdrawing its support for the Referendum Bill is simple, the Bill will make Parliamentary Seats equal, in the old system it took more voters to elect Conservative MPs that Labour MPs; due to the fact that a majority of Tory Seats are rural; in other words Labour wants to keep its electoral plus. If the Bill is passed lets see how the Labour Party will react, will they support the change to AV or will they use the vote to get a dig in at the Coalition and support the Conservatives in rejecting the Bill. The aim would be to bring down the Coalition.
The A - Team is BACK ?
Telegraph: Reports on the movie version of one of my favourite shows form the 80s the A - Team. Another please don’t balls it up, one would love for the plan to come together, the original series was great fun to watch, funny, a story, things being blow up, and no one ever died. Think Dr Who with machine guns!
