Obama and the the Freedom of the Press - 2nd Term Blues

The New York Times: Reports that a Federal Court has ordered  that one of its reports James Risen " ..must testify in the criminal trial of a former Central Intelligence Agency official charged with providing him with classified information.  ".

Lets Get Real:

This is a wise move by the Federal Court, when it comes to National Security there must NOT be a shield for reporters, it is far to easy for reporters and bloggers it must be said to use the argument that they should be allowed to release matters of State, even a liberal democracy needs its a secrets, this is not the 1970s and Watergate/Vietnam folks, that time is OVER, after 9/11 the State has to carry out ACTS that will not look good on the front page of the ubera liberal NYT.   Of late we have seen the release of the fact that the drone kill list goes up to the Oval, thus they are the Obama kill list for terrorists, that there was an attempt to sabotage the nuclear plants of Iran, thinks folks if the press during World War Two had released the fact that the Allies had broken the signals of the German Subs, also the military messages of the Germany Army, that the US had broken the signals of the Government of Japan.  What if the press had leaked the story of the lies that were used up to D - Day, they result could have been very different folks.    Thus good view of the US Federal Court system.  Liberals have to learn folks, even reporters, security comes first. 

Is Kerry hearing what he WANTS to HEAR? - Middle East Peace!

CNN  - Politics: Reports the following after the statement by US Secretary of State John Kerry that Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to new talks, the article raises the issue of Israeli concessions, " Reuters report quoting an Israeli official who said the Jewish state agreed to a plan for peace talks based on pre-1967 borders and land swaps. ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks THIS Israeli Government will not agree to the 1967 borders, the US, EU and the UN can go blue in the face and this is not going to happen, the present Coalition Government is Israel would fall if it tried to give East Jerusalem as a Capital to the Palestinians, also the new Israeli Government will NOT STOP building, this is smoke screen is to please the Oval, also force the Oval to deal with the problems of Syria and Iran.    One has to ask is Secretary Kerry hearing what he wants to hear, what people say in the Middle East and what they do are two different things folks, out of ten folks, 9/10 these talks will fail after the UN general meeting in September, and we will be back at the start folks, that is the history of the Middle East folks. 

The REAL Israeli Position and the Palestinians

Telegraph: Reports the following from an Israeli source when it comes to the new talks, " ..But one Israeli official indicated that the agreement was fragile. ".

Lets Get Real:

As the article notes the real reason for Israeli agreeing to these talks is to BLOCK the Palestinians doing an end run at the UN to get the status of a State, once that is OFF the table these talks will fail, no Israeli Government is going to give up East Jerusalem as a Capital for the Palestinians, a REAL Palestinian State, with its own air force and army would be a threat to Israel, lets look at how Al Qaeda has formed a base in Syria due to its Civil War, the security of Israel must come FIRST for any Government of Israel, no matter what the Oval, EU or even the UN wants, they will not be there if it goes wrong and the Jewish people are forced in to the water because they have done what makes the above happy, Obama will be gone in 2017, the EU has its own problems, and the UN is just a talking shop at the end of the day.   The Israeli Government should not allow itself to be a sucker for the wishes powers who are not under threat.   This is the real world folks.
