Israel and Iran

The New York Times reports that Israel is not happy about the new US NIE on Iran. I have a feeling that Israel is worried about a Democratic Win in November, might take action early, less flak from a Bush Administration than a new Democratic Administration. That clock just might be going again....

The Hillary Problem ?

Bloomberg.com: Interesting article that looks at the problems the Clinton machines is going through. At its centre is her record, on one level a plus, First Lady then Senator, the problem is that voters don't trust her, and that is being polite, Hillary does not have the charm of Bill, but as stated in this blog for a long time, Hillary is not Bill, if Democrats cant see that they will lose next year.

The Role for Bill ?

Washington Post: Interesting article on the Role of Bill Clinton in a Hillary Clinton Administration. He would need a role, we recall what happened when he was bored, Cigar any one!!

The British and Iran

Telegraph ( UK ): A very interesting article that looks at the view in London that the the CIA has been turned over by Iran. In other words the CIA wants the new NIE to be true, no matter if it not, USA might not attack Iran but then there is Israel.

Liberals and Iran

The Nation: The Bible for Liberals is all carrots for Iran, not stick, why are Liberals so weak, do they have no back bone or one not worth having for the security of the West.
