Israel and the Palestinian Question - Iran Crisis

Guardian: Reports that by Israeli PM Netanyahu stressing the threat from Iran he has " ..succeeded to marginalising the plight of the Palestinians, significantly reducing the international pressure on him to stop the spread of Jewish settlements  ".

Lets Get Real:

One can postulate that Israel will hit Tehran, this will lead to a regional War, thus the Palestinian Question will be thrown in to the very long grass, the liberal left cant be critical of Israel on Iran and the Palestinian question, if he tired it would look anti Jewish, lets face it the US State Department and the UK FCO is very pro Arab but not very supportive of the Israel.   Thus folks lets be very honest here, there will never be a secure Palestinian State, any real State would be a threat to Israel, thus any puppet state would have no air force or army, its borders would not be its own, the Israel Army would have to have a overview role, just to make sure terrorists were not using the new state as a launch bad for attacks on Israel.   Lets face it a small dirty nuclear bomb could destroy Israel, thus Israel can not take a risk of a Palestinian State, SAD but true, Israel can not allow another holocaust, as President Kennedy once said, life is not fair. 

Iran and the BOMB - Iran Crisis

Telegraph:  Reports the following on the UN speech by the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, " ..warned on Thursday that Iran will have enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb by next summer  ".

Lets Get Real:

This Israel trying to place pressure on the Obama Oval before a 2nd term, Israel wants President Obama to draw a line in the sand, in essence force the Oval to show its hand.   After Obama wins and there is no American action over Iran expect Israel to hit Tehran, with out without the approval of the Oval.  It will be like 1981 and 2007 all over again, at the end of the day any Israeli PM will have to take action, they can not wait for the US Election cycle.  One can expect that the Obama Oval will be then worried about the the 2014 Mid Terms, and the need to keep the liberal base on board, thus more pressure for Israel to accept a nuclear armed Iran and a Palestinian State.  This is the time for Israel to act, just before the November election, this is when the Oval is at its most weak, politics is about winning and the other guy losing, the politics for Israel is clear, hit Tehran when Obama has no choice but to support Israel and follow up with attack on Iran.  That is the Chicago way folks. 

Israel vs. Iran - Iran Crisis

BBC News: Reports that the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN has called for the UN to draw a line in the sand when it comes to Iran's nuclear ambitions. 

Lets Get Real:

As President Obama is going to win a 2nd term one has to ask what will he do in the Middle East, its easy, he wont have the power to do a dam thing, he cant run for a 3rd term, thus the Democrats on the Hill will distance themselves from any Obama attempt to force Israel to accept a nuclear armed Iran.   The security of Israel and the power of the Israeli Lobby is the nearly the only thing that unites the Democrats and Republicans, as VP Biden cant or wont run in 2016 the Democrats on the Hill will make sure that any Obama policy on Israel and Iran will benefit Israel.   Lets get to the political truth folks, the day after Obama is sworn in for a 2nd term, the candidates for 2016 will start to campaign in Iowa, the Democrats will be worried that after 8 years of Obama the Country will turn hard right, think in 2000, when the Country went from a moderate liberal in Bill Clinton to a Conservative Bush 43, then in 2008 from Bush 43 to a very liberal Obama.   Thus one can predict the same thing will happen in 2016.  All politics is local folks. 

Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has announced the name of the Royal Marine that died in Afghanistan on Monday, the Marine was " 

  Captain Carl Manley of the Royal Marines ".  Our thoughts are with the family of Captain Manley. 

Obama and the Middle East

Guardian: Reports the following on the day of President Obama's speech to the UN, the article notes the following on the relationship between the US and the Middle East, " ..that relationship is now at its lowest point since the start of the Arab spring.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The Middle East Street can smell weakness, and President Obama is weak, he is Carter Mark 2, the hand out to Tehran has failed, the lack of US leadership during the Arab Spring has shown how weak POTUS is, the Obama White House stated it was leading from behind in Libya, the PR of that was a disaster, the front guys in that operation was the UK and France.  The lack of support for the Egyptian leadership lead to the fall of a ally in the Middle East and the raise of the Muslim Brotherhood.  The assassination of the US Ambassador in Libya and the lack of clear direction from the Oval after the event has given a clear message to the enemies of the US in the Middle East that they can roll the Obama Oval.   There is an old saying, its better to be feared that loved, at the moment the US is held in contempt by the Middle East, and the fault belongs to President Obama. 

Obama and Iran

Telegraph: Reports on President Obama's speech to the UN, the article notes the following on Obama policy towards Iran, " ..also warned that the time to peacefully curb the Iranian nuclear crisis is running out...fears that it is pursuing nuclear weapons have led Israel to threaten an attack. ".

Lets Get Real:

This folks is political posturing by President Obama, the Oval has held its hand to Tehran for years and Iran has thrown sand back in the face of President Obama, there are endless talks, while Iran develop the bomb.  If the Oval was serious about dealing with Iran it would have agreed to the Israeli request for a meeting between the President and the Israeli PM.  It seems the Oval was more interested in doing late night talk shows, thus one can discard these comments by POTUS.    The Israel Government has to take action, if it waits it gives Iran the chance to develop the bomb and to destroy Israel.    This is not the time for appeasement.   

Liberal Democrats and the OAP's

BBC News: Reports that the DPM Nick Clegg has stated that richer old age pensioners should lose their benefits after the next general election. 

Lets Get Real:

One wonder does Mr Clegg not understand that its old people that tend to come out vote, does he want a Liberal Democrat presence in the House of Commons after the next election, thus far the Liberal Democrats have lost the youth vote due their supporting tuition fees, now they are scaring old age pensioners.   This policy suggestion is opposed by the Conservative Party, PM David Cameron has made it clear that he does not support the move, thus in the 2015 election both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party have a perfect way to kill off the Lib Dems as a political force, make them seem to the right of Lady Thatcher when it comes to welfare.   One can see the political advert now, old age pensioner in her chair, looking at a letter saying that because her house is considered a major asset she will lose her benefits, she looks at a picture of her family, she was going to give the house to them, she has only limited heating, she is not cash rich.   There is snow outside, camera looks in to her sad eyes.  Yes folks, the Lib Dems are fools. 

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a "  Royal Marines Commando " has died in Afghanistan of natural causes.  Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 433 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 390 in combat/hostile action, while 43 have died due to illness, accidents and other incident. 

Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has announced the name of the 2nd UK Soldier to die last Friday in a none combat incident, the Soldier was " Captain James Anthony Townley from the Corps of Royal Engineers  ".  Our thoughts are with the family of Captain Townley. 

Romney NOT DEAD IN THE WATER!! - 2012 US Election

Guardian: Reports the following on the state of the US race, " ..most experts do think that the many instant media pundits who have spent last week writing Romney's political obituary have jumped the gun..  ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks as the Guardian shows the news media, PRINT, TV and the INTERNET, will need to keep the Romney fight going, if just to get something to write, even the uber liberal media need copy, if they bury Romney in September, what are they going to write about for the next couple of weeks.  Thus expect articles from the UK and the US that sees life in the Romney/Ryan ticket, lets recall the media have to sell their product, if the reports call the race over, their Editors will wonder why they paying for them to cover the race.    Thus expect small attacks on Obama, just to keep the fight going, then when it comes to the debates expect the uber liberal media to finally stake the Romney/Ryan ticket.   That is politics and the media today folks. 

Welfare State and Tax - UK Coalition Government

BBC News: Reports that the UK DPM Nick Clegg has stated that the Lib Dems will not allow welfare cuts without there being tax raises for the rich.

Lets Get Real: 

This is typical Guardian pandering by the left wing Lib Dems, they are in Government but do not want their fingerprints on the tough cuts that have to happen, if you tax the rich you do not get growth, its the rich that buy goods that the Middle Class can not afford but do make in the private sector.  The Labour Party under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown spent all the MONEY, and did not leave anything in the BANK.  Thus it can be argued that the Coalition Government needs tougher cuts, the welfare state has to be cut, the idea that the State will look after you from birth to death has to be removed from the minds of UK voters.   There is a growing older generation but a smaller younger tax base, the young of today will be very lucky to get a State pension, most in their heart of hearts get that FACT, that is why they do not save, why bother, its not going to be enough.   The UK is not great if your old at the moment, for future generations it will be worse,  the UK is out of MONEY, the days of the welfare state are OVER folks. 

National Television Awards - VOTE

NTA: It is that time of year folks, time to vote for Doctor Who for best drama, Matt  Smith for best actor and the one and only Karen Gillan for best actress.

Lets Get Real: 

It is time to show our support for the good Doctor, Amy and Rory.   They are there for us weeks on end, giving us the best drama on the box, tell your friends, neighbours to VOTE.  Time to do your duty folks, the Brig would have approved. 

The Power of Three - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News Page:  Reports that the good Doctor was the top Drama of the day on BBC 1, the episode had 5.49 million views ( the overnight ratings ).

Lets Get Real: 

The threat in this episode was a plot device to look at how Amy and Rory deal with their real lives when not travelling with the Doctor, how the Doctor can not let them go, one should  never have the Doctor as a house guest, he will drive you bonkers.   It was great to see the Doctor doing domestic and going up the wall, painting the fence, doing the garden, playing tennis via the net, and of course his football skills.   The black boxes were fun, shows how humans can get used to most things, well the British can, even Lord Sugar used them, someone got fired, that was fun.  Also it was a nod  to have Jemma Redgrave play the daughter of the Brig, nice to see UNIT back under the control of a Stewart.   It was good to see Brian, father of Rory ask the real tough question of the Doctor, what happened to other companions, some left, some got left behind, some died.   Thus of course next week folks, the end of the Ponds.  A cracking episode folks, shows you how little boxes can turn you off, and also on, not sure about the science, but loved the concept. 

Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has announced the name of one of the two UK Soldiers to die in Afghanistan on Friday in a non combat incident, the Soldier was " Sergeant Jonathan Eric Kups, of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME)  ".  Our thoughts are with the family of Sergeant Kups. 

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a 2nd Soldier has died in Afghanistan in a non combat incident today, the Soldier was from the " 28 Engineer Regiment, attached to 21 Engineer Regiment ".  Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 432 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 390 in combat/hostile action, while 42 have died due to illness, accidents and other incidents. 

What ABOUT IRAN Mr President ? - Obama and Israel Advert

Lets Get Real:

Israel has to decide can it afford to trust President Obama, after he gets re-elected, there is limited pressure Israel can place on the Obama Oval.   Thus time for the Israeli Government not to wait, the security of Israel can not be left to a Chicago Pol, time for the Israel PM to act when it comes to Iran. 

Israeli Strike On Iran ? - Iran Crisis

Telegraph: Reports the latest prospects of an Israeli strike on Iran, " ..speculation of an Israel attack over the next few weeks has faded in recent days ".

Lets Get Real: 

This of course could be the Israeli Government wanting to miss direct Tehran and the Oval, it is not what they Israel says but what they do, as the article notes Israel held a snap military exercise on the Syrian border, this could test how the Israeli forces react to Iran using its Syrian Regime as a way to hit Israel, this move would help the Assad Regime, as the Syrian people would have to choose between fighting each other or their hated enemy the Jewish State of Israel.   Keep an eye on this area folks, it could blow up at any time, recall 1981 and 2007 folks, the Oval heard the news of an Israeli attack on the news. 

Romney HATES Old People - Obama/Biden TV Advert

Lets Get Real:

As noted folks, the Democrats get in the gutter, scaring the older generation, the Romney plan would protect the benefits of the older generation, it wants to deal with future generations.   The present system will fail, an older generation and limited younger tax pool.    The Uber liberal rich do not care about the old people, they scare them, and when the tea bags hit the fan they will be protected behind their security, low down attack but effective folks, that is the Chicago way folks. 

Romney and Medicare - Romney/Ryan Advert

Lets Get Real:

This is a great Advert folks, it tells the truth to younger voters, that to protect Medicare for the older generation it will have to change for future generations, the Dems will tell OAP's that the Republicans will take away Medicare from them, its a lie, but an effective lie, the Dems play in the gutter and win folks.   At the end of the day TRUTH is not something a fading Empire can take, its people want to the lie to be the truth, thus they will walk over a financial cliff and still think its unfair.   They have been told folks, they are just not going to listen.  This is why Obama gets a 2nd term. 

Those States that decide the Presidency - 2012 Race

Lets have a look at the most import swing States folks, lets look at Florida and Ohio and the polls. 

The best political website there is RCP does the average of the Polls for these States, today the find the following:

In Ohio the average of the Polls are, Obama 48.4% and Romney 44.3%.  A Obama lead of 4.1%. 

In Florida the average of the Polls are, Obama 48% and Romney 46.3%.  A Obama lead of 1.7%.

Lets Get Real: 

That President Obama is still in the race shows why he will WIN, think about this folks, over 8% unemployment, 16 trillion debt, ObamaCare, the assassination of a US Ambassador in Libya.  Any other Candidate would be toast, if the Republicans had a decent Candidate then Obama would be packing now to go home to Chicago.   Thus folks, this blog has called this election, the news media have to write about something, thus expect as we get  closer to the election they will try to get interest of the voters, by stating its a close election, that Romney could win, BS, just to get punters in to watch the 24/7 news channels, to read the print press and to get clicks on web sites.   This blog has to much respect for its lookers to play that game.  This blog will start to look at how a 2nd Obama term will play out. 

Obama vs. Romney - The Friday Polls

Thus as we head in to the weekend folks, lets have a look at the POLLS.

Rasmussen Reports ( LV ):  In it's daily tracking poll today we see President Obama leading Governor Romney by 46% to 45%.  A 1% lead.

Gallup ( RV ): Reports on its daily poll, today we see a dead head, both President Obama and Governor Romney are on 47%.

Lets Get Real: 

If your a Republican you would think the above is great after the disaster of the last few weeks for Romney, but if you look at the State Polls you would still say that President Obama has the Oval for a 2nd term.  At the end of the day its down to the electoral college, a Candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the Presidency, it would be ironic after 2000, if the shoe was on the other foot, POTUS  wins the Electoral College but Romney wins the popular vote.   It could happen folks. 

Death in Afghanistan

MOD:  Reports that a UK Soldier has died in Afghanistan in a non combat incident, the Soldier was from the " 104 Force Support Battalion, attached to 4 Close Support Battalion, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers  ".   Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 431 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 390 in combat/hostile action, while 41 have died due to illness, accidents or other incidents. 

Obama vs. Romney - The Polls

Lets look at the Mid Week Polls folks:

Rasmussen Reports ( LV ): In its daily tracking poll we see Governor Romney leading President Obama by 47% to 46%. A 1% lead.

Gallup ( RV ): Reports in its daily tracking poll that President Obama leads Governor Romney by 47% to 46%. A 1% lead.

Lets Get Real:

This race is over folks, one can expect the polls to go South for Romney after his comments that he had written off 47% voters due to the fact they take welfare from the US Government. This will take time to get in to the POLLS, it sinks Romney, if he was Reagan or Bush 43 then he might have used his comments as a benefit to get the base of the Republican Party OUT to vote, but Romney was always the default Nominee for the Republicans. The liberal elite media will force these comments down Romney's throat in till November, not every day that a Candidate sinks his own Campaign in such a manner, lesson for future Candidates, never assume your not being taped.

Romney and a Palestinian State

Guardian: Reports more comments from Romney off the record fundraiser, the article notes the following on Romney views of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, " ..he was unlikely to pursue, as president, the creation of a Palestinian state, warning that Iran would use it as a base for attacks on Israel. ".

Lets Get Real:

The elite media has and will go bonkers over these off the record comments, in any other context it would help with the Jewish vote, but its mixed up with Romney's comments that 47% of Obama's voters are getting welfare. This blog had written off Romney a few days ago, nice to see the uber liberal media catch up with this blog. The Chicago Re-Elect Committee has done it job, it has sunk the Romney Campaign, They have taken down their man, its just matter of how big Obama wins, the Democrats now have the Oval secure, thus it time in pure political terms to focus on Congress, if the Republicans hold the House as expected and a close Senate then the Obama Agenda is dead on the Hill even before a 2nd term starts. Thus Democrats need to place money on House Seats that have gone Democratic before and secure those Senate Seats that tend to go to Republicans. Hat off to the Oval and the Chicago Team, they WON.

Why Romney LOST - 2012 Race

Telegraph: Reviews by Governor Romney will lose in November, the blog states the following, " ..Romney never had a chance in the first place. This election was won in the spring, when the Obama campaign effectively bombed the Romney campaign on the runway. ".

Lets Get Real:

Those Republican Candidates for the House and the Senate have to distance themselves from the Romney Campaign, it does not matter that Romney was RIGHT, the uber main stream media will use his remarks in till election day to hit him over the head. POTUS could run naked around the White House and declare himself a Demi God, and the press could be critical of any Romney reaction. Thus the Republican Congressional candidates have to save their now necks, the Republicans need to control the House to prevent to much of Obama's destructive policies. Also Democrats should remember that in 2016 that it wont be Obama running, both Parties will have Primary fights and after 8 years of Obama the US voter could turn hard right. Yes folks this blog is looking at 2016 NOW, never to early to start folks.

Romney and the Welfare State

BBC News: Reports on Governor Romney's comments that 47% of US voters are on Government handouts, the Governor stated the following, " There are 47% who are with him [Mr Obama], who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it... ".

Lets Get Real:

In the view of the uber liberal/left wing press the Governor has finished his Campaign, what one could say is that Governor Romney has to late spoken the truth to the US voter. The Democrats needs people on welfare, they Dems would never get elected if people did not have their HANDS OUT for government money. The Republicans/Conservatives want to give people tax cuts, they want people off welfare and earning, they want people to be J.R EWING, not some on the Government pay roll. This speaking of truth has come to late, the RNC should have been harder edge, the Romney team should have gone for Obama at their Convention, told the US voter that a 2nd Obama term would make the US a welfare State. That they failed to take this chance, and to make the election about Obama, this is the reason why they will lose in November.

The Last Gasp of the Romney Campaign - 2012 Race

The Hill: Reports the following problems faced by the Romney Campaign, " Obama is ahead of Romney by a narrow margin in most national polls, and has a slightly wider lead in most swing states .. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks, in 2016 both Parties will have Primary fights, after eight years of Obama the Republicans should not need must effort to elect a Republican. In 2016 the front runners will be Rep Ryan and Governor Christie of NJ. If the Republicans are smart they will go with Christie and have Ryan do his 2nd run as VP. Governor Christie is a larger than life character, in more ways than one, he his presence on the ticket will take much of the influence away from the uber main stream media, one can see Christie taking the fight to the Democrats, a Christie ticket would scare them, as for now we have to see the process work it self out, the re-election of Obama, and a Republican House and a Democratic Senate. It is just ticking the boxes folks.

Last Throw of the Dice - Romney Campaign

Guardian: Reports the following from the Romney Campaign, " The new strategy will not abandon negative campaigning, but will focus on positive ads as well.. ".

Lets Get Real:

This sounds like a quite desperate folks, the Romney negative adverts to counter the negative spin form the Oval has not worked, they have not been tough enough, any other Republican Nominee would have taken Obama apart, from his poor record on the domestic front to his throwing allies under the bus in the international field. The fact that Obama is going to win, shows how bad the Romney Campaign has been, the Republicans should divert their attention to the House and Senate races, make sure that they control Congress and prevent Obama from taking the US in to a Depression. It could have been so different folks, just the Republicans picked the wrong nominee. It will be interesting to see who Obama places in his Cabinet for a 2nd term, will track that over the next few weeks.

Why Romney failed - 2012 Race

Telegraph Live - 2012: Reports following in its 2.40pm post, " ..several Romney aides and senior Republicans dumped on the campaign's leadership and especially on Stuart Stevens, Mitt's idiosyncratic chief strategist ".

Lets Get Real:

Lets recall the Republican Primary Race folks, Romney won by default, the rest of the runners either didn't have the support, imploded, or ran out of money, thus Romney as the nominee. The 2nd Obama term will come about because the Republican race ran to long, the Republican field gave arrows to the Democrats, then the Democrats used that against Romney for months. Thus it has become a choice election, while the Obama polices are loathed he is liked, thus the neck and neck manner of the race. Given the mess that Obama has done on the domestic field it can be argued that Romney should have been miles ahead, in most polls he is behind, it is worse in the State polls. Thus the Romney Campaign was good enough to win the nomination if not the Presidency. Lets hope the Republicans learn their lessons in 2016.

Romney Economic Plan - Romney/Ryan TV Advert

Lets Get Real:

This advert spells out the Romney economic plan, take on China in the economic field and get the Government off the back of business. This will lead to millions of jobs being created in the US. The policies are sound folks, but its going to be a 2nd Obama Term. Thus the US will go over a financial cliff, it happened to the Romans, the British Empire, it will happen to the US. History is a cycle folks, nothing is that new and nothing last forever, it is time for the US face to decline and become a welfare state as is the EU.

Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has announced the names of the two UK Soldiers that were killed on Saturday in Afghanistan by a rogue Afghan Policeman, the Soldiers were, " Sergeant Gareth Thursby and Private Thomas Wroe, both of 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment (Duke of Wellington's) (3 YORKS) ". Our thoughts are with the families of Sergeant Thursby and Private Wrote.

Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has announced the name of the UK Soldier that was killed on Friday in Afghanistan by an IED, the Soldier was " Lance Corporal Duane Groom from 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards ". Our thoughts are with the family of Lance Corporal Groom.

Obama the TAX HIKER - Romney Super Pac

Lets Get Real:

This advert is true folks, ObamaCare will raise taxes on the Middle Class, but it might be to late, nearly all the POLLS look bad for Romney, it might be time to think about 2016. The Republicans and their Super Pacs have failed to define Obama, this election is looking like a choice election, it was suppose to be about Obama. The uber main stream press are parroting the Obama Agenda, and Romney does not have the charisma of a Reagan or the folksy manner of Bush 43. If the Republican Nominee is to win and overshadow the media he has to be a larger than life character, otherwise the uber liberal media will define him, in this Romney it can be argued has failed. YES Obama is going to win folks, this blog is about the TRUTH, even if you do not like it, lets make it a close election folks, lets make POTUS work for it, but its OVER.

Are you Better off after Obama's 1st Term ? - Obama/Biden TV Advert

Lets Get Real:

This is a good attack advert folks, if you do not know the facts you would think that the Obama first term has taken the US out of ditch and taken it on the road to riches. The stock market is up due to the fact that the Fed has spent billions on the system, the Obama jobs growth has more to with the fact that hundred of thousands of Americans have just given up looking for work. The jobs created by Obama is not enough to match population growth. The US is heading for a financial cliff should Obama get re-elected, the Credit Agencies have made it clear that the US Credit rating could get a further downgrade. The printing of money will lead to inflation. Thus this advert is all smoke and mirror folks, very effective but a lie from start to finish. It is the Chicago way folks, if you can not spin the truth, spin lies.

The Iran Crisis - Update

Telegraph: Reports the following development in the Iran Crisis, " ..armada of US and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s covert nuclear weapons programme. ".

Lets Get Real:

In Israel the Government must be thinking, is Romney going to lose in his bid to unseat President Obama, the polls do not look good, thus what should Israel do about Iran's nuclear threat, do they really trust that President Obama will not allow Iran to join the nuclear club, if the answer is in the negative then Israel will have to strike Tehran, the best time in political and defence terms would be close as possible to the US Presidential Election in November, this would force the Oval to support Israel in public and follow through with US attacks on Iran, it could not allow Iran to attack US and Western interests in the Middle East. The would depress the uber liberal base of the Democratic Party and give a Republicans the chance to define Obama as not fit for the job. Thus the question then folks IS WHEN? the election is on November 6th, thus the weekend before would be a good time to hit, also the Oval is dealing with the Middle East up in flames over a anti Muslim film, an attack by Israel on Iran could make that look like happy hour. Thus all politics is local folks, the article notes that POTUS will meet the Israeli PM after originally saying no to a meeting, it seems that the ego of the White House has to listen to the Israeli lobby. Tense times ahead folks, the Middle East might be facing a regional WAR.

Afghan Police Attacks on NATO Forces - Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that the two UK Soldiers killed on Saturday in Afghanistan were killed by Afghan man wearing a Afghan Police uniform.

Lets Get Real:

Our forces need new orders when dealing with suspect Afghan Policemen, these green on blue attacks, the green represent Afghan, the blue NATO, are far to common, our Forces need more flexibility when it comes to shooting. The orders should say that if a NATO Soldier feels under threat he has the right to shoot and ask questions a lot later. This blog wants to trust our Afghan allies, BUT not at the expense of our forces, time to be more interested in keeping our Soldiers alive, even if that upsets the Afghans, lets not allow a UK Soldier to die to because we want to be PC.

A Town Called Mercy - Doctor Who Review

The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that the good Doctor gained 6.6 million viewers in the overnight tracking. This made the Doctor the top Drama for Saturday ( this discounts reality shows of any kind ).

Lets Get Real:

This was a fun and though provoking episode folks, the Doctor showed his darker side from last week was just not a one off, he threw war criminal or not, depending on your point of view to his death. The Alien was saved by a gutsy Amy Pond and the town law enforcer. It seems that the Doctor is forgetting the nature of mercy, that he has gone from a BIG LIBERAL, the last few hundred years to Dick Cheney, what next water boarding. The the fun side folks, the Doctor talking horse, that was fun, the Doctor doing High Noon, and at the end finding his inner Doctor, mixture of liberal/conservative. It is an episode that require close attention, does the need to end a war mean that you have to do dirty things, does that change you, do we all carry out own prisons in our mind, one we can never escape, one we built over the years, deep folks.

Obama vs. Romney - The Polls

Lets have a look out our favourite polls folks, Gallup and Rasmussen Reports:

Rasmussen Reports ( LV ): Has the following in its daily tracking poll, today Governor Romney leads President Obama by 48% to 45%. A 3% lead.

Gallup ( RV ) : Report today in its daily tracking poll that President Obama leads Governor Romney by 49% t0 44%. A 5% lead.

Lets Get Real:

Folks think about this, the US unemployment rate is over 8%, last month over three hundred and sixty thousand people gave up looking for A job, the US is 16 trillion in debt and the US Ambassador to Libya has just been killed by terrorists. President Obama at the DNC called for tax hikes in recession and a majority of people hate ObamaCare, Israel the great ally of the US has been thrown under the bus and Romney in the Rasmussen poll only has a 3%. In less the debates are a major game changer this race is over, Obama will get a 2nd term, as this blog said if it thought Obama would win it would say so, it is nearly there folks.

Obama vs. Romney, - NYT/CBS Poll

The New York Times: Reports on its latest NYT/CBS Poll, as the article notes " ..the poll found Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney running essentially even among those seen as the most probable to vote. ". The Poll found that President Obama has 49% support, while Governor Romney is on 46%. The poll has a margin of error of 3%.

Lets Get Real:

Lets be honest here folks, in all polls this blog has seen Team Obama should be happy, they are between 3% to 5% ahead of Romney. Thus giving the polls the benefit of the doubt one has to say that that Team Romney has failed to define Obama, the Oval team has defined Obama as rich guy who does not understand main street, it might not be true, that does not matter, the voter on main street is buying this rubbish. Thus as of this week, this blog would have to predict that the Oval will win by around 2% to 3%. The swing State polls this blog has seen has Obama leading, this blog can not recall seeing a poll with Romney ahead in Florida or Ohio. In less Romney can turn this Campaign around he is heading for that Iceberg of defeat in November. If Obama does win expect the US to fall of a the financial cliff folks, the Republican House wont give on tax hikes, the Senate if still under the control of Democrats will block any Republican Bill. Thus folks we might be seeing the start of the decline and fall of the informal American Empire, its currency sooner or later will hit the floor, the US will not be able to afford its overseas presence, thus very much like the Roman and British Empires we might be seeing the fall of Uncle Sam.

American School Burned Down - Tunisia

Guardian Live - Middle East: Reports the following, " ..an American school was burned and police have moved into the US embassy compound.. ".

Lets Get Real:

It seems from reports that the school was closed, so far no reports of deaths as of this moment. The US presence in Africa and the Middle East is taking a bounding, and where is President Obama? he is on the Campaign trail, and the press do not say a word. The press have shown by their lack of critical review of Obama at this moment that they can not be trusted. They should be asking tough questions of POTUS and they are NOT, they have to support him, he was their man, they covered for him in 2008, they are doing the same in 2012. The Romney/Ryan ticket have to get tougher, they have to nail President Obama to the wall, he is Carter Mark 2, the press will not do its job, the Republicans have to get in to the trenches, time to bring a political cannon to a knife fight. Its the Chicago way folks.

Libyan Murders and the White House

The Telegraph: Reports that following on the Libyan murders, " The White House has denied claims from a British newspaper that it ignored credible information about an impending attack on American diplomats in Libya. ".

Lets Get Real:

It has been reported that President Obama has missed a majority of his latest intelligence briefs, the Romney Campaign should HIT the Oval hard over the theory that Obama might saved his Diplomats if he had done his Day Job of being POTUS, rather than running for the Presidency. In the present crisis if Obama is still Campaign then its a disgrace, US Embassies in Africa and in the Middle East are being attacked, and Obama is getting the love of the crowds and the press are up his backside. The President of the United States should be in the White House making sure that US Diplomats and Citizens are not hurt, yesterday Secretary Hillary Clinton was disgrace, she in essence said sorry for free speech, the US Secretary of State should defend US values, if not she should resign, one thing folks Clinton has blown her chance in 2016, US voters do not vote for weakness.

Middle East Riots and the US

BBC News Live - Middle East: Reports on mounting protests due to an anti Muslim through out the Middle East, from Tunisia to Iraq. The latest from its 4.38pm post is that the German Embassy in Sudan has been set on fire.

Lets Get Real:

This is what happens folks when you have a weak Oval, they Middle East have Obama's number, they know he is weak, they expect Obama to say sorry for freedom of speech, its the wrong time folks, not in a election year. The uber liberal main stream press have Obama's back for a while, but should the Middle East get worse and there are further US losses on the diplomatic side then even the press will start to turn, not yet, at present they are mounting a campaign to make Romney the issue, his tough response does not go down well with the uber liberal elite. Lets see how this plays out folks, will the anger burn it self out, or are there any more US deaths, or God forbid hostages aka 1979 and Jimmy Carter. Time will tell folks.

Middle East and the 2012 Race

The Hill: Report on the reaction in the US to the murders in Libya, the article notes the following, " Violence in the post-Arab Spring Middle East threatened to upset the presidential race Wednesday.. ".

Lets Get Real:

Just ask Jimmy Carter how a Middle East blowing up in your face can make you a 1 term President and most disliked since Richard Nixon, sorry worse that even Nixon. The Republicans ticket has already been highly critical of the Oval for it lack of action when the US Flag was torn down from its post at US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. Thus expect the Republicans to attack Obama for being weak on the War on Terror, the quote that the Oval was leading from behind in the Libyan War will come back to haunt the the Obama White House. The DNC made a point that Obama was a hawk when it came to Foreign Policy, thus the death of OBL, WELL the voters are going to ask what is the Oval going to do about the murders in Libya and the Muslim Brotherhood in charge in Egypt. A lot can happen in eight weeks folks, the story of the Middle East never ends, just one crisis after another, lets see what the Oval does to deal with the killers of US Diplomats and US Marines.

Libyan Murders - Libyan Crisis

Guardian Live - Libya: Has the following post, " ..a total of 13 people were killed: four Americans, four of the attackers and five of the national army. Again, this is unconfirmed at present... ".

Lets Get Real:

Lets see what President Obama does, the new Libyan Government has condemned the attacks, lets see what the investigation finds out, who was behind the attacks, was it Gaddafi supporters who are still fighting the civil war, or Islamic extremists who used a anti Muslim film on the internet as a reason to attack the US Consulate. Of course it could be Al Qaeda, lets see what a detailed search finds. Lets not rush to judgement folks, that would be a mistake, better to KNOW 100% of the story first. This blog still suspects Al Qeada.

Who, Why, - Libyan Murders

Telegraph Live: Reports the following in its 11.57am post, " ..senior Libyan official has blamed the attack on supporters of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed last October .. ".

Lets Get Real:

If this is true would make sure that the new leaders in Libya didn't get the blame for the lack of security for the US Consulate, on the other hand this attack seems rather well planned, on 9/11, it could be revenge for the death of OBL, it could be the work of Al Qaeda, if it turns out to be Al Qaeda then the Oval has a problem, it would show its drone strikes are not working, this blog has no problem with drone strikes, more the merrier to be honest, even if innocent people are killed, that is the price of WAR. But and here is the capital BUT, they have to WORK, if it was Al Qaeda then the drones strikes are taking out terrorists that should be caught and forced to hand over what ever info they have, by any means. Also as a result those innocents that are being killed would not be hurt, this is not about the quality of mercy folks, its about results, What ever works, IF the Obama kill list is not working, and its BIG IF, then Obama got a lucky shot with OBL, the rest of his policy is open to question. Lets see what the CIA/FBI find out about the attack, local or part of Al Qaeda. It could effect the outcome of the November election folks.

US Libyan Ambassador Killed - Libya

BBC News: Reports on the deaths of the US Ambassador to Libya J Christopher Stevens and three other US Diplomats after the US Consulate in Libya was attacked by Islamic extremists.

Lets Get Real:

This is sad news from Libya and the families of those killed are in the thoughts of this blog. The political reaction could be VERY negative for the Oval, one of the main fight backs at the DNC was the argument that President Obama was strong when it came to Foreign Policy, this has taken a battering with the row with the Israeli PM over a meeting and now these deaths. Lets be very frank folks, it does not take much courage to order a hit as Obama has done with Al Qaeda terrorists leaders, the only people that would object are extreme liberals. At the of the day its drone strike in the badlands of the Afghan/Pakistan border. The real make or break decisions are when you place large troop footprint on the ground, yes Obama has done surges in Afghanistan, and then give a timetable for when they are leaving, the Taliban really love that idea. In the Libyan War the Oval lead from behind, the main PR was done by the UK and France, Obama is scared stiff of losing the left wing base of the Democratic Party, thus do not expect much US action in response to the murder of the US Ambassador, it would take boots on the ground, something the Oval can not afford eight weeks out of an election. The same with the Iran crisis, Obama has snubbed the Israeli PM and his request for a meeting, the Israeli PM was expected to ask when the US was going to take action in Iran. The Oval is NEVER going to strike Iran, the Oval's main plan is to keep Israel from taking action and then accepting a nuclear armed Iran. This is why Tehran does not care what the Oval says, they have his number.

Israel vs US and UK - Iran Crisis

Telegraph: Reports that Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu has " denounced American and British efforts to restrain Israel from striking Iran ".

Lets Get Real:

Of course this could be a game being played by the Israelis, the US and the UK, a game of conning Iran in to thinking that Israel is about to strike, thus they better make a deal on its nuclear programme, this blog has its doubts, the West is not that clever. Thus what we are seeing is REAL tensions between suppose allies. The Oval wants to keep the lid on the developing Iran Crisis, it does not want another War in the Middle East after Libya and the on going civil war in Syria. The UK Coalition Government would fall, the Liberal Democrats want the UN to approve walking over the street, thus they would walk out if the UK support the US in supporting Israel. In Israel they see things differently, the see a nuclear armed Iran as a threat to the existence of the Jewish State, thus as Israel took action in 1981 with the Iraqi nuclear plant and then in 2007 with the construction of a nuclear facility in Syria, then it might need to take action in 2012. The question that Israel has to ask, does it trust President Obama, if not they it has only one choice, strike Iran when Oval has no choice but to support such action, that can only be before the November election. Lets see if what Israel does folks.

Obama SNUBS Israeli PM - Iran Crisis

The New York Times: Reports that that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu " harshly criticized the Obama administration on Tuesday over recent statements that the United States would not set deadlines or draw “red lines” for Iran.. ". Also POTUS has refused a meeting request from the Israeli PM.

Lets Get Real:

This is a BAD MISTAKE by the Oval, on the political front and Obama's Iran policy. The Israeli Lobby can make Obama's life very negative over the next two months should they make it known that Obama is throwing Israel under the bus, if this happens Obama can forget the electoral votes in Florida. The Republicans will use this SNUB of the Israeli PM in their TV adverts, Obama is considered a fool by Tehran, they have his number, they know he will not act should they go nuclear, he just wants to get re-elected, then he will drop Israel fast. If your the Israeli PM you can argue to your Government and to the Israeli people that since Obama would do this kind of snub he can not be trusted. If I was Team Obama, I would make sure that POTUS found the time to meet the Israeli PM, otherwise he might find that he is like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, they discovered through the news that Israel has taken military action. If this blog was the Israeli PM it would attack Iran just before the November election, force Obama off his ego, he would have to support Israel, the left will go bonkers, might depress the left vote and allow Romney to win, of course if this blog was the Israeli PM. Lets hope the Israeli PM is nicer than this blog.

Obama and Romney - Level - New Poll

The Hill: Reports on a new poll by the Washington Post/ABC News, in this poll as the article notes the Candidates are " ..running neck and neck among likely voters after the party conventions .. ". In the Poll President Obama leads Governor Romney by 49% to 48%. The Poll as a margin of error of 4%.

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks we shall see in this election cycle, what methodology works, Adult, Registered, or Likely voters. As the article notes, when it comes to registered voters POTUS has a 6% lead, this is line with some new polls, this blog does not count registered voters, these voters support POTUS but they do not get off their backsides to vote, so on the whole they can be discounted. Also lets see what the daily tracking polls are on Friday and the weekend, the Obama bounce might be solid, or it could be like Obama's rhetoric, looks good but fails reality. Also the D.C press core should appoint a Poll Panel, this is not about this poll, but polls in general, this panel would tell you if a poll was real or has to much of any group or party supporters. Otherwise you have to go on trust, this blog does not trust the uber liberal news in the US. A lot more polls to go folks, if your a political geek you love this part of the process, endless polls, endless commentary, endless articles, what more could you ask for, well yes a Super Model as a girlfriend, but that is not going to happen so it has to be polls and polls.

Obama Bounce - Part Three

CNN - Politics: Reports on its CNN/ ORC Poll that shows that President Obama has now a 6% lead over Governor Romney, in the poll Obama gained 52% while Romney was on 46%.

Lets Get Real:

Thus the DNC was good for POTUS, thus we have Rasmussen Reports, Gallup and now CNN with with shows that POTUS has between a 5% to 6 % lead over Romney. A Convention bounce is a bounce folks, the question is what will the tracking polls show on Friday and the weekend. The NEXT BIG EVENT is the debates, can Romney sucker punch Obama, can Obama cope having to answer tough questions, of course that assumes the reporter asking the questions is not a liberal who will go easy on the President. This blog has advice for Team Romney, do not allow the Candidate to do interviews with NBC or CNN, he will not get a fair deal, they think they are being objective, the question that has to be asked, would the very same reporters be that tough on Obama, NO, one gets the impression. The political reporter should have total contempt for all politicians, they have to ask themselves what is this idiot hiding and why is he laying to me, that is objective reporting. Thus far the uber main stream media has failed with Obama.

Obama BEATS Romney - Money

Guardian: Reports on Obama's beating of Romney when it comes to fundraising, " Obama raised more than $114m compared with Romney's $111m, figures released on Monday showed... ".

Lets Get Real:

The Obama take is hardly that great folks, three million, also the Romney Camp has more money on hand now that Romney is the official Republican Nominee, but and here is the BUT, the Republicans and the Republican leaning Super Pacs have to to for the throat of Team Obama, the Romney/Ryan Camp has to have weeks of negative adverts on Obama, real harsh stuff, make Obama more like Castor than a liberal Reagan. The Super Pacs have to do the dirty work, they have to remind voters of the close connections that Obama had early in his career to urban terrorists and a racist preacher. How the first few years of the Obama term the President was saying sorry to the world and bowing to other leaders. Its time to take the voter by the caller and wake him or her up, make them understand that if they re-elect Obama its over for the US as a super power. It seems that the Republicans will have control of the House, and control or parity with Democrats in the Senate, the voter has to get the fact that NOTHING will get done in D.C while Obama is President. That the Obama polices will lead the US to follow the road of the Roman and British Empire, that is decline. The Republicans have to destroy Obama as a political candidate, they have to show him for what he is, uber liberal that makes Carter look conservative. The Chicago political mob have spent millions on negative adverts on defining Governor Romney, it time that the Republicans got in to the gutter and took a cannon to a knife fight. They have the money for the most negative adverts in history, they have the money for the ground work, time for action, use it lose it folks, time to be a Kennedy and WIN.

The Obama Bounce - Part Two

Telegraph: Reports the following on the Obama bounce, " he pulled clear of Mitt Romney in four polls and even managed to raise more money than his Republican rival .. ".

Lets Get Real:

If Romney loses the Republicans will argue that is some respect its down to liberal elite media, that is rubbish folks. In 1980 Reagan faced a much more powerful uber liberal media, there was no Fox News, no Internet and he won 44 States, in 84 he won 49 States and Reagan is the model is that Team Romney wants to repeat. In 2000 Bush 43 had Fox News a a counter to the uber main stream media, there was also the Internet, and he won the electoral college in 2000 and beat Kerry in 2004. Thus if Romney loses it will be down to the candidate, he has to take the fight to POTUS at the debates. The advice to Governor Romney when it comes to the debates is be himself, he is no Reagan, or Bush 43, he has to be the man that will clear up the liberal mess of Obama. There is also advice to Democrats on the ticket this year, be careful that the voter does not split his/her vote, that they vote for Obama, but to make sure he can not do anything like ObamaCare again they vote for Republicans down the ticket, if I was Candidate for the House or Senate and A Democrat that would be on my mind night and day. Its still early folks, no need for Republicans to get out the Prozac, politics is the long game, and the last man standing wins the Oval.
