Kennedy for Labour ?

The Guardian: Reports on the hint from the Labour Party that the former Liberal Democrat Leader Mr Charles Kennedy could defect to Labour, this has been denied by Mr Kennedy. This sounds like a test balloon from Labour, seeing if they can cause a split within the Liberal Democrats, ones gut smells the fingerprints of past Labour spin masters, also it’s the political silly season, the Labour Leadership contest has not caught fire with the voters, this kind of story keeps Labour in the news, but its been denied, would Mr Kennedy really be happy in Labour or is this more to with the fact that Mr Clegg is Deputy PM after a short time as Lib Dem leader while the old Liberal Democrat leaders are the men of Yesterday.

12 Months Clock for a Nuclear Armed Iran ?

Telegraph: Reports that the Obama Administration has told Israel through the New York Times that Iran is 12 months away from getting the bomb. If your Israel you look at the successful bombing of the Iraq Nuclear facility under the Reagan Administration and the bombing of the Syrian nuclear facility under Bush 43 and you ask do you dare Obama to be critical after Israel has bombed Iran. If Israel is smart it will bomb close to the 2010 Mid Term Elections in the US, this will place Obama on the back foot, he will have to support Israel or see the Democrats wiped from the political map, Obama is to low in the polls to threaten Israel, the Congress would remove any Obama sanction against Israel, that is the cost of low Presidential approval ratings folks. Its up to Israel does it have to the guts to act and to act in a smart manner, that is the questions folks.
