The Blair and Brown WARS Part 2 - Labour Wars

Telegraph: Reports more on the release of Downing Street emails from 2006 that cover the Brown Coup attempt against PM Blair, the articles the notes the following, " One email suggests that Mr Brown told Mr Blair that he should resign because the public “hate him”. ".

Lets Get Real:

The McBride memoir and the release of these emails will lead the former Blair and Brown supporters to fight the old fights, well lets hope they do, that is fun, having to listen to Ed Miliband do a speech is bad, at least this is TRUTH about the dirty side of politics, not something they teach if you want to go to politics.  But to fair to Gordon Brown, he did have one hell of a wait, it would drive any normal man a bit crazy, he had spent his entire political life wanting to be PM, and then to see the Crown take by his one time friend Tony Blair, and then the long wait and the view that Blair had broken his promises to go at different times.   What this blog fails to understand is that by 2006 the Brown Camp had WON, the Iraq War, the mess that was developing in Afghanistan, the support of Blair for Israel and Bush 43 had cut him lose from the Labour Party and to the Country to be honest, the Brown Camp could have waited, why rush, Blair was a spent force in many respects, the Coup attempt pushed Blair out but hurt Brown more, with the Party and Country.  One can say that PM Blair should have sacked Brown years before, if he had he might be still in 10 Downing Street. 

Brown's Hatched Man - Labour Wars


Lets Get Real:

Thus the question that must be asked of the Labour Leader Ed Miliband and his Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, did they know that Mr McBride was doing the dirty work for Gordon Brown when he was Chancellor and later PM, have they have done knifed their colleagues in the past, since Balls was Brown's right hand man, he must come out with humble answer, not me guv does cut it folks.   The Labour Party has the great ability to fight political back alley knife fights, no matter who gets hurt.   Is Ed Miliband really a new leader, if so we must have the 100% truth about his time with Brown, and since he is on the same page as Assad of Syria, the total truth, not his PR view of the world.  In his fight with his brother David did the Ed Miliband team use any dirty tricks, better it comes out now folks, good for the soul folks, and great political viewing. 

The Blair and Brown WAR for Labour - Labour History

Guardian: Reports on the trench warfare of the Blair vs. Brown fight for the Labour Crown, the article notes the following, " Rows, abuse, threats: leaked emails reveal real story inside Blair's bunker....the messages that show how the PM's team fought in vain to prevent Brown's coup ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks you would think that this would be old political history, but since Ed Miliband and Ed Balls came from the Brown Camp and were seen at one time as being close to the former PM and Chancellor it is never that far in the past.    The New Labour platform of Tony Blair died when he left office in 2007, his successor Gordon Brown in many respects was the Labour's Edward Heath, a man unfit for the job he had wanted for ten years.     The fact  that a book is coming out just before the Labour Party Conference well not go down well with the Labour hight command, Ed Miliband is seen as a weak Leader, even Labour voters do not see him a future PM.   This year's conference is vital for Ed Miliband, he really has to make sure he has the Party behind him, a poll this blogger saw yesterday saw Labour and the Conservative Party neck and neck, in the same period under Tony Blair the Party had a double digit lead, thus folks, tense weeks and months ahead for Brother/Country back stabbing Ed Miliband.

Obama vs. Congressional Democrats

The New York Times: Reports the following on the political relationship between the Obama White House and Congressional Democrats, " Mr. Obama finds himself frustrated by members of his own party weary of his leadership and increasingly willing to defy him.  ".

Lets Get Real:

This is the other 2nd term curse folks, first you get a scandals, then the Congress and the people turn you off, Obama's political curses have come early folks, you have the scandal of the death of a US Ambassador in Libya and the reaction of the Obama Administration during that night, then the IRS going after Conservative groups, the Obama Justice Department going after the press and the National Security Agency bugging everyone in the US and the World.    The sign that people are turning off is the fact that the Oval could not get the public to support US taking actin in Syria, in most 2nd terms the domestic side comes to end after the 1st year, the Congress just says NO, while on the international front the Oval should have more ways to move, but Obama has given Russia a VETO over his actions, thus the Oval is stalled on the home and international front, its only 9 months in to the 2nd term folks, its going to be a long three and half years for the Oval folks. 

The Political Ramifications of Syria - Syrian Crisis 3


Lets Get Real:

Folks there was NEVER a real deal, the Russians played President Obama and Secretary Kerry, the KGB Bear can smell weakness and fear from Moscow, Assad has no intention of giving the UN the 100% truth about his WMD, he needs them just case the Syrian Civil War turns, its his weapon of last resort, the Russians need their only warm water port, they need to keep Assad in power and happy, lets recall Assad also has another benefactor, in the shape of Iran.   The Tehran Regime has been sending arms via Iraqi Air Space for years, what has surprised this bog is how fast the elite press and the Obama Administration jumped on the Russian offer, it makes this blog understand why the political elite and people supported appeasement in the 1930s,. simple they were idiots, they saw what the wanted to see, not the truth.  Thus the present case with Syria.   The Oval will never attack Syria, and no matter what the demands of the Western Diplomats it can be postulated that Obama will find his inner Chamberlain, some things are just to easy folks. 

Obama Shielding Assad! - Syrian Crisis 2


Lets Get Real:

The Syrian Civil War has seen over a hundred thousand people killed, men, women, children, and millions displaced  and the use of WMD, and the Obama Oval wants to protect Assad from justice because Assad and Putin have out played Obama on the World Stage.  The Oval wants Syria to go away, the Syrian Regime if it likes can attack with WMD again and can show how weak Obama is really, Obama wants Syria OVER, but in this case he can't just sign an Presidential Order and change the rules, the Oval is tied to Assad, he needs Assad to allow UN inspectors in, to protect them against attacks, in other words its a game and Putin and Assad are the game masters while the US and the West are just pit players being thrown about by the orders of Syria and Russia.   

Russian Playing Obama - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports that Russia has stated that the Assad Regime in Syria has given them evidence that the Syrian rebels were behind the WMD attack on 21st August in Damascus. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus the games start folks, by Friday of this week the Assad Regime is supposed to hand over to the UN a complete list of its WMD, there are rumours, and they are only rumours folks that the Assad Regime has moved its WMD from their original positions, the Presidents Assad and Putin know it was the Assad Regime that used WMD on August 21st,  the Russians are already starting to question the UN report in to the WMD attack, they know that Obama will NOT ACT, they Russians have checked mated Obama at the UN, the US Congress will not support another War in the Middle East, the Oval itself by its nature is an appeaser, thus the Syrians, Russians and Iran win this round folks.   As for Friday folks do not hold your breath for a 100% list of the WMD of Syria, they are going to play games, they have the time and the strategic reason to play the Oval.   Thus folks in Obama we have the modern Neville Chamberlain.
