Tony Blair and Rendition

Guardian: Has an exclusive report that a Libyan Islamist and his family were sent to Gaddafi’s Libya and faced torture conditions under a MI6 rendition operation, the operation happened before a visit by Tony Blair to Libya. One does have to wonder who in the UK Labour Government gave the green light for sending a family in to a torture environment, the article notes that the operation followed approval at Minister level. Thus a few Labour Ministers might face some very tough questions, it has to be asked did former PM Tony Blair have any knowledge of such operations, at least someone at Secretary of State level must have given the green light.

Greek Default

Telegraph Live: Report that Greece is going to default, this has been denied by Greece. This would not be a great surprise folks, in fact Greece would be better off if it did default, then it could start from scratch, even better it should default and leave the Euro. The EU would then have to keep Greece going through loans, thus far its money down the toilet, also some EU countries are asking for collateral if they loan to Greece, have my doubts about the story but would not be surprised folks, lets see, time will tell folks.

The Obama Jobs Plan

BBC News: Reports on President Obama’s 450 billion jobs plan, its elements contain tax cuts for small business and welfare spending. The speech was typical class warfare folks, Obama wants to tax the rich to pander to his liberal base, the august Joint Session of Congress was used as a political theatre. If Obama wants to play political games then the Republicans should pass the popular tax cuts and then say no to the rest, force Obama to come out of tax hikes, that might go down well with the liberal New York Times, but it wont work in a re-election year. The political opinion is that Obama wants the House to say No so he can argue in 2012 that he is running against a do nothing Congress, aka Harry Truman in 1948, the problem for POUTS is he is no Truman, the House Republicans were elected to say NO to Obama, after he passed ObamaCare, Democrats are having flashbacks if they think this trick would work with Obama as the nominee, this is blog is close to calling this election NOW, and it would be negative for Obama, lets see what other tricks Obama has, they better be good, otherwise he wont be Truman, he will be Walter Mondale.
