Guardian: Reports that the Israeli Government has give the green light for new Israeli homes to be built in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, in all nearly nineteen hundred homes. Israel has the right to use land that it won in combat, it has lost the blood of its sons and daughters to gain this land, thus by the rights of combat it is the land of Israel. Also the Oval will keep very quiet over the next year and half, Obama can not afford to lose the Jewish vote, thus the Middle East Peace Process is in recess for some time.
A look at the Politics of the United States and the UK. The Foreign Policies of both countries and how they behave in the International Community.

Iraq and Al - Qaeda
Telegraph: Reports that the bomb attacks in Iraq are being blamed on Al - Qaeda. Thus there are two options folks, Iran or Al Qaeda, or both of them working together against their perceived enemy the US. The Iraq Government has to get a new security deal with the US, one that keeps at least twenty five thousand US troops in Country to prevent Iran crossing the border once the US is out. It would be a major disaster for the Obama Presidency if Iraq was invaded by Iran, or its government become a puppet of Tehran. President Obama can not afford to give the Republicans the argument that Bush 43 won Iraq with his surge but that Obama lost it when he become President, it would recall the arguments from the late 1940s that the Democrats had lost China to the Communists. Thus Obama has to start to take an active interest in Iraq.
60+ Killed in Iraq
BBC News: Reports on a series of bomb explosions in Iraq today, it is estimated that over 60 people have been killed. One can postulate that these attacks have the hand of Iran at its core, the recent killing of scientists working on Iran’s nuclear programme have the fingerprints of Israel on them, although no proof, this blog would very surprised if the Mossad had not played some part, thus Tehran wants to cause havoc for the US before its planned departure of Iraq. It would suite Iran if the violence in Iraq forced the US to keep troops on Station, this would hurt the Obama Presidency, the American left thought Obama would take OUT all troops, but it can be postulated that US will have troops in Iraq well in 2012 if not 2013. If this is an Iran operation it is an attempt to show that although it cant hurt Israel, and would not dare, it can attack US interests, thus expect more attacks through 2011/12. One has to ask was the loss of 179 the UK’s Armed Forces Personnel worth it, thus far NO.
39% Approval for President Obama = Gallup
Gallup: Reports on its latest daily tracking poll on the job approval for President Obama, today is grim reading for the Oval, President Obama has a 39% Approval rating, while 54% of Average voters Disapprove of the job performance of Obama. It can be argued that that ObamaCare was the straw that broke the Obama Presidency, the Act was pushed through against the will of the US voter. The recent downgrade of the credit rating of the US is also a major blow for the Oval. But as stated many times in this blog even Reagan got a 35% Approval rating, but in 1984 he won by 59% of the vote, and 49 States. Thus its not over for President Obama, but he cant afford any more major blows to his Presidency, he is starting to morph in to Jimmy Carter Mark 2, lets hope Iran does not invade Iraq when US troops leave, then it would be over for Obama.
