The British and Iran

Telegraph ( UK ): A very interesting article that looks at the view in London that the the CIA has been turned over by Iran. In other words the CIA wants the new NIE to be true, no matter if it not, USA might not attack Iran but then there is Israel.

Liberals and Iran

The Nation: The Bible for Liberals is all carrots for Iran, not stick, why are Liberals so weak, do they have no back bone or one not worth having for the security of the West.

Death in Afghanistan

Another death in Afghanistan, total losses know stand at 86, we will lose more but are we winning?

Extreme Investigation

The past couple of days the elite media have decided that the extreme investigation of terrorists suspects is another Watergate. That's Bull, would used a stronger term but lets just say bull. These are terrorists and what more high ranking terrorists. The CIA has to get the information out of them the best way they can, after they are no value in VIEWS opinion they should be taken out placed against a wall and shot.

The Democrats are again making a massive political mistake, do they recall 9/11, do they recall the constant fear for years after that the USA would be attacked. The President should call their bluff, tell the American people what information was received from the extreme investigation of terrorists and then shoot the SOB's, terrorist give no quarter and thus should expect no quarter, a firing squad for terrorists would show the West was tough and would use any method to destroy threats to Western Security. Put the Democrats in between a rock and a hard place. The problem with the Democrats is that they think that their base is the United States, its not. This could damage the Democrats in the long term.

Background to the NIE on Iran

New York Times: Interesting article that looks at the background for the NIE on Iran. The US Intelligence Services, CIA etc, discovered new information that ran counter to their original view of Iran. The NYT of course does not agree with the Bush policy when it comes to Iran, more carrot and carrot if the Times had its way. This is shown by the following written today by the Times, " Administration officials have said that they would continue to advocate tougher sanctions, which seems increasingly unlikely. ( author's VIEWS highlight )" The Times does not want sanctions, it is elite and weak, might be right about Iran but there is still a need for tough sanctions on Iran but also back channel diplomacy, if the NYT would allow the government to keep secrets.

Iowa Poll

A new poll by Strategic Vision in Iowa, this is very good for Obama, here are the good results for the Obama Camp.

Obama 32 %

Clinton 25 %

It should be noted that Clinton is even with Edwards in this poll. What a political race we would have if Obama wins and Edwards comes second and Hillary Clinton third. The six point lead she has in N.H would fade over night.


A very interesting poll ,to the point and simple to read, click here to read.

Clinton Win ? ( PDF Version )

I must admit at the dawn of time, e.g when the race for the 2008 started, that over all I thought Hillary Clinton would win, now I am not so sure, if Obama can win in Iowa and Edwards can come in second I think we are looking at a new whole ball game. The latest poll from ABC/Washington Post shows Clinton with only a six point lead over Obama in New Hampshire, Clinton 35 % - Obama 29 %. The question has to be asked, will Hillary Clinton lose ?
