Of all the images of President Obama’s trip to Europe, the one above it can be postulated that will be the one shown most often, the most glamour’s couples on the Planet. Also the picture will be good for re-election ads next year.

PM Cameron and President Sarkozy = Libya

Guardian: Reports that Coalition PM David Cameron and the President of France Nicolas Sarkozy are to visit Libya. This will show Colonel Gaddafi that the Allies of the UK, France and the US mean business, the leaders could hardly visit the Eastern rebels if they thought they would have to do a deal with the Colonel down the line. The visit will be great PR for the Eastern Rebels, it will show that the real government of Libya is now in the East, the pictures of Cameron in the East will be a great counter the old pictures of former Labour PM Tony Blair when he visited the Mad Colonel. The UK, France and even the US have to much political capital to lose if they allow Colonel Gaddafi to stay in power, thus the Mad Dog has two options, leave Libya or be buried in Libya.

Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that two UK Soldiers were killed on Friday in Afghanistan, the Soldiers were from “ 42 Commando Royal Marines ”. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 368 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 324 in combat operations and 44 due to illness, accidents or other incidents.
