Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has released the name of the UK Soldier that died in the UK of wounds sustained in Afghanistan, the Soldier was “ Corporal Jack Leslie Stanley, from The Queen’s Royal Hussars (The Queen’s Own and Royal Irish) ”. Our thoughts are with the family of Corporal Stanley.

The North Korean ICB

Guardian: Reports that North Korean ICB is ready to launch as planned. Thus folks as noted in previous post the military of South Korea and Japan have been placed on alert and are ready to shoot down the rocket should it come over their air space. The Obama Administration has to go back to the UN and demand even tougher sanctions, not that it will make a blind bit of difference, the North Koreans are not even afraid of China, one has to postulate that China is unnerved by North Korea, it’s a nuclear armed power, that seems to pull the strings of the US, one level that is problematic for China, on the other it makes China look stable, also there is not a lot China can do about North Korea, if it stops its support then you could have millions of North Koreans going over the border to China, that is not a problem that China wants or needs, thus it is keeping out of this mess as much as it can, not trying to annoy either the US or North Korea. As noted in the Telegraph it his reported that the North Koreans are planning a third nuclear test, the end game will see South Korea and Japan go nuclear, these Countries are not going to allow North Korea to bully or threaten them, thus expect more military intrusions from the North in to the South, to stop this the South will have to go nuclear, thus Japan will follow, Russian Roulette folks, lets hope no ones miss reads the direction of the gun.

North Korean NEW Nuclear Site

Telegraph: Reports that the Stalinist North Korean Regime is building a underground tunnel to test a 3rd nuclear device. This will send the region to the cliff of South Korea and Japan going nuclear, if the North Koreans have a successful ICB launch then can place a warhead on a rocket that will force their neighbour South Korea to request that the US helps it develop its own nuclear defence, the same goes for Japan. The Obama Administration will find it hard to say NO, they have shown themselves being suckers, they thought they had an agreement with North Korea to stop this launch and its nuclear programme, every time as US Administration thinks it has a deal the North Koreans sucker punch them in the guts. The North Korea Regime knows it can blackmail the hell out of the US, it can pull these stunts and attack South Korea on its border with no comeback, simple reason it’s a nuclear armed power. It helped Syria build a nuclear plant that Israel had to hit at the end of the Bush Administration in 2007 and the World did nothing in real terms, think if this was Iran, yes folks, that is why Iran can not be allowed to go nuclear, it could never be touched what ever did in the Middle East.

Blair Government and Rendition

BBC News: Reports that the Blair Government in 2004 gave the green light for the rendition of Abdel Hakim Belhaj to Libya. This doe have the echoes of the bestseller Ghost, one has to ask did No 10 know about this rendition, did the then PM Tony Blair have knowledge of such action or did he give approval. Thus far a lot of questions but not a lot of answers, this blog does not expect the Police to turn up anything, they have to work with MI5 in the future, thus they can not mess up that relationship. Thus prediction folks, this will be allowed to die in the long grass, the total information on this operation will never come out, that is the British way, we don’t have UK versions of the 1970s US Senate investigations in to intelligence.
