Titanic Key

To miss quote Mr S. " For a Key a ship that could have been saved " A Key that might have saved the Titanic was sold today for Ninety thousand pounds. Politics come and go, that goes for Presidents and Prime Ministers, but the Titanic is in some respects is forever. Hand on heart can you name the President of the United States in April of 1912 or the UK Prime Minister in April 1912. It was Taft and Asquith but that is the not the point, the Titanic is more than than a object it is part of our common memeory our DNA in some respects.

NYT IS SORRY

The New York Times is sorry for the add it ran by MoveOn, what about its other reporting, is it sorry about that, we shall see....

Brown and Election!

I might be wrong but I don't think Gordon Brown will call an election, not this year, this is the man who waited and waited to became Prime Minister, polls are good, but I recall 1992. I don't trust the British people to give truth full answers to questions like that, they have became more canny of telling polling people what they want to hear. I could be wrong but I just doubt he will call an election, in less the economy is going to go down the toilet, War with Iran is coming, then all bets are off, quick election before the problems start, but your guess is as good as mine on this issue reader.

Syria and Israel

The New Republic: A very good article by the respected Diplomat, Dennis Ross, on the strike on Syria by Israel, Ross writes the following, " Israel's raid against the Syrian plant reflects the use of a military instrument applied quite selectively to affect the psychologies of many different actors on the world stage. " This means the West is told, if they don't react over Iran Israel will and the Middle East is told, Israel will not wait for a Arab Nation to develop a nuclear bomb.

Clinton on the LEFT

NY Daily News: Very interesting article on how Hillary Clinton has lurched to the left. How this could be trouble next year if Iraq turns around.

Rather Part Four

Washington Post: Another attack on Dan Rather, at its most basic its calling him a egomaniac and a plonker ( British Slang term for not a bright person ). Its shows how unpopular really is in the Media Industry. Walter Cronkite never had this to deal with after leaving CBS News. The rumour is that Rather kept Cronkite off the air as he wanted to be the face of CBS News.

Meet the Press

Have just Hillary Clilnton on Meet the Press, Hillary Clinton might become the Democratic Nominee for President in 2008 but she wont win, the Clinton Camp has thrown in the towel with the radical left. This is my prediction for the 2008 process, Clinton should win the Nomination over Obama, Obama becames the Vice - President Nominee. The Negatives for Clinton will go higher, they Democrats think they are high now, wait in till the Republicans and their allies start on her. Just read or watch the first few minutes of the introduction on Meet Press, Hillary Clinton has been all over the place on Iraq.

In 1984 election the Reagan Team had a very good commercial which showed the views of Walter Mondale on the Invasion of Grenada in 1983, all over the place. Think the commercials that can be produced on Hillary Clinton and even more how her own husbands record could be used against her for good and ill. As it will be the Republicans the aim will be very negative. Lets be honest here, women to get elected have to show that they are strong, going out about Health care is major mistake to combine that with cutting off funding for the troops is going down the road that could but Hillary Clinton in the following bracket, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis. The road has been paved for Hillary Clinton and the funny thing about the whole business is that she is creating her own defeat.
