Dallas Proof ? - JFK Assassination

Daily Mail: Reports that modern technology has shown an image that purports to be of Lee Harvey Oswald at the Shooters spot at the time of the killing on 22/11/63. Folks having looked at the picture, its not something this blog would go to Court on, but then the assassination of JFK has very much overshadowed his entire Presidency. Lets be honest folks JFK is the most overrated President in US history, his greatness comes from one action, the secret deal he did with the USSR over Cuba, the Russians would take out their missiles and the US under the counter would take their missiles out of Turkey. Lets postulate that JFK sold out Turkey, and more damaging told the USSR that if they told the press about the deal it was off, this was more politics that anything. Then we come to two issues, Vietnam and Kennedy’s woman, it has been argued for years that Kennedy would not have gotten in to land war in Asia, that it was all the fault of LBJ. This blog does not buy that folks, Kennedy had to draw a line somewhere in the sand when it came to the USSR, the Kennedy Administration had allowed Berlin Wall to go up, it had not gotten rid of Castor, thus it could not afford to lose another Country to the Communist threat, thus South Vietnam. Lets recall it was JFK’s people around LBJ, the new President didn’t want Vietnam, but his tough policy was supported by all Kennedy’s people. The Attorney General Robert Kennedy didn’t resign over Vietnam. Thus the Vietnam War failures is a also a Kennedy failure. Then we come to Kennedy’s women, JFK's girlfriend was also the girlfriend of the Chief of the Chicago mob, the mob was under CIA contract trying to kill Casto, JFK could faced have a blackmail threat. Also as it has been alleged that JKF’s father bough off the mob to help in son in 1960. One can postulate that if Kennedy had lived the 2nd term would have seen scandal, Kennedy lived his life on the edge, but he was still a great President in his own way, just not in the same league as Reagan.

Damascus Games - Middle East

Guardian: Reports that Damascus is demanding that any Monitors to Syria respect the Sovereignty of Syria. In other words the Assad Regimes controls what they see, the Syrian Regime is starting to sound like the old Iraqi Regime, granting access then creating problems, then under granting access hindering Monitors. The US has to place pressure on Russia and China to create No Fly Zones, and protected areas for Syrian rebels. Otherwise folks a lot of good Syrians are going to be killed while the World Community looks on aghast, its time for action, a repressive Syrian Regime would be just as bad as Libya under Gaddafi. Sometimes the World has to do the right thing, no matter the cost, lets hope NATO is ready for another War.

Syrian Civil War ?

Telegraph: Reports how the Shia Regime of President Assad is targeting the Sunni Opposition in Syria, how over 1,000 people have been killed in Syrian City of Homs. In effect folks Syrian is in small scale civil war already, the opposition has targeted Military bases loyal to the Assad Regime close the Capital, the Syrian Regime is playing for time, says it will reform, then when the pressure is off it goes back to killing its own people. The Ace that the Assad Regime has is that it is supported by Iran, the Tehran Regime will do all it can to make sure the Assad Regime does not fall, it needs the Regime to divert attention from its own plans for the bomb. The UN is a busted flush, either the Assad Regime will be overthrown or the delay in action by the UN will allow President Assad as his father did to kill thousands. After Libya the Russians and China don’t want any more regimes changes, thus the West either stands back or does some very covert action to support the Syrian Opposition. Expect more blood on the Streets of Syrian folks, its going to be bloody on the road to Damascus.

UK and Syria

BBC News: Reports that UK Foreign Secretary William Hague is to meet Syrian Opposition leaders on Monday in London. This is a risk for the UK, what happens if the Syrian Regime does not fall, it will have caused Syria to be furious with the UK, also it will mean that Syria will get ever closer to its backer Iran, also the Syrian Regime might think that to gain internal support it needs a small scale conflict with its neighbour Israel, this would be backed Iran, thus the Iran nuclear crisis could be dragged in to a Syrian Civil War or a external War with Israel. Next year look rough for the Middle East between Syria and Iran.
