1970's

National Security Archive: A look at the relationship between the USA and the USSR. Has the latest declassified Files. A must read.

A.G and the Senate

New York Times: It appears that the nominee for Attorney General will pass the Senate Judiciary Committee then on to the Senate floor for one hell of fight if Liberals have their way.

Iron Lady or Not!!

New York Times: Simple questions folks can you see Lady Thatcher in a debate complain that all the men had her as the main target of the questions and negative comments. The simple answer is NO, hell would have to freeze over before Lady Thatcher would use the gender card. Another mistake by Clinton, you cant expect to get in to debate and not be attacked by those on the stage. THE REPUBLICANS WILL RUN THIS ARGUMENT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Obama and Iran

New York Times: Interesting interview with Senator Obama in the paper. The Senator is moving left, he needs to the Liberal base of the Democratic Party to support him in Iowa over Senator Edwards. The move to the left is a mistake, willing to talk to Iran with no conditions is a massive error in judgement. The NYT states the following, " The suggestion, which emerged as a flash point in the campaign, has prompted Mrs. Clinton to question whether such an approach would amount to little more than a propaganda victory for the United States’ adversaries and to question the experience of Mr. Obama,... " . The NYT is split, it supports Hillary because it thinks she can win but really in its hearts of hears supports Obama. Thus while pointing out problems with the Obama plan it less than critical. It points out all the old Clinton hands that are helping Obama. The 2008 race after the debate is a lot more interesting to political geeks.

HMS Illustrious v Iran

BBC: So HMS Illustrious will be near to Iran in the spring, wonder why? My nose is smelling air strikes what about you?

Further Debate Fallout!

LA Times: The Liberal LA Times has a point about the the debate performance of Senator Clinton, " An unseemly impatience also was evident in Clinton's reaction to jousts from her opponents on policy issues. " If Clinton is rattled by this how will she cope when the Republican attack machines starts to air adverts in important states.


Washington Post
: Makes an important point the gloves are off in the Democratic race, the Post writes the following, "strategists for all the Democratic contenders agreed that the debate marked a turning point and would open a newly aggressive phase in the race. " A mistake does not mean a loss just in the next debate Clinton can not afford another disaster in debate performance. Thus look for the following topics to come up till the next debate, Iran, Liberals want to appease, Clinton is a realist, Immigration, want liberal polices this could cost them in the General Election. Then a very important issue that Clinton cant duck, the release of her papers as first lady, she cant have it both ways, if she is running on that she has to release her advice to the President if she gave advice on policy issues. The line that it has nothing to do with her wont stand with Obama and Edwards.
