Torture and David Miliband

Guardian: Reports that Labour Leadership Candidate David Miliband and former Foreign Secretary allowed SIS ( MI6 ) to carry out operations that could lead to terror suspects being tortured abroad. If David Miliband wins one can presume that the Guardian will have to eat humble pie for a time before getting access to the new leader. On the other hand it’s a great weapon for the Coalition Government, if Labour pushes its mobile hacking claim it can grant a Judicial Review but one that will also look at the torture of UK Subjects or UK interests under political authority. Thus Mr Miliband might face some very tough questions, the nature of the cases, how far did he give the green light, etc. Also it might drag in Blair and Brown. Who will bet that if David Miliband wins there will be a side deal to drop all such investigations.

Obama’s FAILURE over Afghanistan

The Washington Post: Reports on the political in fighting within the Obama White House between the LIBERAL President who wants out of Afghanistan and the military who want to win as with the case in Iraq. One can see General Petraeus the former Commander of Iraq and now in Afghanistan walking out on Obama and running against him in 2012, the General from the sources in the article is not a happy bunny when it comes to Obama. The flaw in the Obama character is also shown, he seems to think that the WORLD is a Harvard seminar, that the World is what he thinks it is, any guy that made his political bones through a racist preacher and spent years in his Church does not see the real world. Lets face it the EGO was not helped by getting the Nobel Prize for doing nothing, and I mean nothing! It looks like Mr Woodward has another bestseller on his hands.

The White House WARS of the Obama White House

The New York Times: Reports that Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, the part of the team that bought down Richard Nixon over Watergate has come out a new book on the Obama White House and its fraught Afghan Policy. In essence the National Security Team don’t trust the political operatives around Obama and the political operatives seems more interested in spin not having a united Afghan Policy. Read of the Day.

Carter the BEST President - Carter

The New York Times: Reports on the comments by former President Carter that he was better than his successors. Carter has lost the plot, not that he ever got the plot in the first place! Ronald Reagan on his worse day, and those didn’t happen often was a great compared to Jimmy Carter. It takes a special kind of delusion to think you’re a great, never thought I would say this, on this side of the door to Hades but even Bill Clinton was a good President compared to Carter, and Clinton was Impeached. Carter has well and truly lost the PLOT.

Brown Years - The Hell of 10 Downing Street under Brown

Telegraph: Has more on the documentary about the Brown years in 10 Downing Street, after a varied line up of critical quotes on the working environment of Brown at Downing Street, the Conservative Telegraph writes the following, “ So there we have it – an intimidating, brooding presence who went into rant mode at the drop of a hat. Not a pretty sight. ”. Thank God the DPM Nick Clegg had the guts to finish off Brown, Blair and the rest of the Labour Leadership never had the nerve to finish the job and do the UK a favour.

The NIGHTMARE of the BROWN Years!

BBC Radio 4: Has started an excellent three part documentary on the Brown Years. The first instalment showed how events had a way of pushing Brown off Agenda, from natural floods to terrorism. That the Election of 2007 that never was pushed Brown off a cliff with the voters and how Brown never came back in to favour. In many respects the main enemy of Brown was time, he had waited to long, what ever new ideas he might have had could not fit in with events or the fact that time has passed them by during the Blair years.
