Greece NO Bailout ? - IMF

Telegraph: Reports that Greece might not get part of the IMF bailout due to it not meeting the IMF regulations for a bailout. Folks its time that the Money markets put Greece out its misery, time for the Markets to make Greece see the realities, the price for Greece selling its bonds should be make to expensive for the Greek Government. Greece is a basket case, the EU and IMF should take direct control of the Greek economy, but folks Greece should be forced to leave the Euro. The shock of a Greek Sovereign debt will hit German banks, but that is the price for getting EU and some of the Euro countries back in to shape, otherwise folks the bailout is toilet paper but with numbers on. Greece is the Trojan Horse that could destroy the EU and the Euro.

Apaches to Strike = Libyan Front

BBC News: Reports that the Coalition PM David Cameron has given the green light for the use of Apache helicopters in the Libyan Theatre. This comes with risks folks; although it allows for closer combat with the Gaddafi security forces; helicopters can be shot down, thus this is mission creep folks, sooner or later, it can be postulated it will be sooner there will be ground troops in Libya, neither the UK, France or the US can afford in political, economic and military terms for this operation to be going on next year, NATO would leak weak if it could not take out Colonel Gaddafi, thus expect more heaving bombing, more close combat, also MI6 will be trying to cause discord in the Gaddafi regime, get Gaddafi out or dead, as long as he is out of power.

Echoes of the Past

The White House has a statement on the arrest of Ratko Mladic, a Bosnian Serb War Criminal, POTUS states the following, “ Fifteen years ago, Ratko Mladic ordered the systematic execution of some 8,000 unarmed men and boys in Srebrencia. Today, he is behind bars. I applaud President Tadic and the Government of Serbia on their determined efforts to ensure that Mladic was found and that he faces justice. We look forward to his expeditious transfer to The Hague. Today is an important day for the families of Mladic’s many victims, for Serbia, for Bosnia, for the United States, and for international justice. While we will never be able to bring back those who were murdered, Mladic will now have to answer to his victims, and the world, in a court of law. From Nuremberg to the present, the United States has long viewed justice for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide as both a moral imperative and an essential element of stability and peace. In Bosnia, the United States – our troops and our diplomats – led the international effort to end ethnic cleansing and bring a lasting peace. On this important day, we recommit ourselves to supporting ongoing reconciliation efforts in the Balkans and to working to prevent future atrocities. Those who have committed crimes against humanity and genocide will not escape judgment. May the families of Mladic’s victims find some solace in today’s arrest, and may this deepen the ties among the people of the region. ”. The suspicion has come with the arrest, the theory is that Serbia is seeking to become part of the EU, but this was not going to happen while it had a major War Criminal walking free in Serbia, thus the arrest. One can hear the shouts from the liberal left, how come Serbia could take Mladic but Obama could not take OBL in to custody, and you know folks they just might have point. One whole folks the good guys won this time, the West should be grateful to Serbia, perhaps its time for Serbian to be in the EU.

The Man could have been POTUS = John Edwards

Daily Mail: Reports that former US Senator and a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2008 John Edwards will be prosecuted for campaign violations. If ever there was creepy politician it has to be John Edwards, while his gallant wife was fighting illness that killed her in the end, Edwards was having an affair. The allegation is that the Edwards Campaign used money raised to keep the affair secret. If the allegation is TRUE, lets hope they throw the creep in jail for a very long time, shows how even the mighty can fall.

Another Tet ? = Afghanistan

Telegraph: Reports that Al Qaeda is massing foreign fighters in the badlands of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan as to hit NATO forces in Afghanistan. One gets that feeling that Al Qaeda is thinking about the PR success of the Tet offensive in 1968 in Southern Vietnam. Although the military offensive was a failure that didn’t help LBJ, the war was seen as a defeat for the US, and thus the election of Richard Nixon in 1968. Both the US and the UK want out of Afghanistan by 2014, but that gives the Afghanistan Taliban and Al Qaeda the incentive to wait out the West, both Obama and Cameron want to talk to the Taliban as to allow a honourable exit for the West, but its not going to happen. When the West does leave, and they will leave folks, both the Afghanistan Taliban & Al Qaeda will claim victory, thus they will argue that they have seen off the USSR and now the US & UK under NATO. The result could be that a nuclear armed Pakistan falls in the hands of the Pakistan of Taliban, then expect India to hit hard and the West to be in Pakistan.

Gaddafi = G0 = Obama and Cameron

BBC News: Reports on a press conference held by President Obama and UK PM David Cameron, both leaders stated that Colonel Gaddafi had to go at end of the day and the Libyan people would decide their future. The NATO bombing of Libya has gone on for over two months NOW, and Colonel Gaddafi is still in power, thus far NATO under the Allies of the US, UK and France have bombed the security forces of Colonel Gaddafi, sent in “ military advisors”, hit the command centres of Colonel Gaddafi, and it has been reported that the UK and France will start to use Apache Helicopters, as this allows closer combat. Folks at end of the day the Allies will have to use ground troops, the Blitz of Nazi Germany didn’t break the sprit of the British during World War Two, the US bombing of North Vietnam didn’t bring victory for the US in the Vietnam War, an air power war by itself cant win, there needs to be grounds forces, the Eastern Rebels will take years to train as to allow them to take the West of the Country, the US, France and the UK don’t have years folks, time for ground troops.
