A Delay annoucement, Saddam and Iran handling the media!
I see Tom Delay is not going to stand for re- election but despite how he spins it, he probably realised what everyone else knew, he could not win in the fall! This gives the Democrats less opportunity to paint the Republicans as corrupt, the GOP has one less problem in the mid terms’ and Mr Delay...

Condi rice, Jack Straw and Zacarias Moussaoui!
Is it me but has there been no real news lately, well to comment on? I am worried that Condi Rice and Jack Straw, the UK foreign Minister has been inseparable for the last five days! It started with the Secretary of State making a visit to the north of England, where they dodged people protesting...

Old Europe unions, a new Israel and I need feedback?
Today in Britain there was a strike by local government workers because the government have said employees can no longer retire at sixty, even if these workers have worked for more than twenty-five years. With the aging population and no one wanting to pay higher taxes I believe the Government was...

Tony Blair stepping down and no real news!
Our Prime Minister Tony Blair told ABC Television [The Australian Broadcasting Corporation] that he made a mistake announcing before the last general election, that it would be his last election but he would serve a full term, if returned to power. When he made this pronouncement, I was surprised...

Norman Kember, a good news story from Baghdad!
I will not criticise any network news programmes tonight for having to report a good news story from Iraq! Someone left feedback last night, I think it was criticism because they said I ought to watch Foxnews! All that I was saying sometimes constant criticism of the US government by the big...

NBC Nightly News tonight, I’m Surprised at no Respect for the Office of the
President! When Campbell Brown announced they were doing 5 nightly reports on the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, I thought ok fair enough they have a right and duty to do this! Maybe because I am British and used to our broadcast laws which stipulate that all news reports have to be...

Slow news day so some questions and Disabled Kevin Thinks?
In the US and the UK until recently there has not been an effective opposition to the governing party / administration and the media has been fulfilling this role and apart from Foxnews, every television network I watch is highly critical of the state of Iraq! I find it hard to believe that despite...

Three years later where are we?
On the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq the jury is still out on whether the liberation was really worth it and the verdict will not be handed down for at least five years or if not longer! Some things are very clear: there were no weapons of mass destruction, the American and British...

Intelligence is the real key to national security!
Although intelligence services cannot predict and intercept every terrorist act or what another nation's government maybe planning, they must be better in their overall performance than in the last six years. If there was a tendency before the second gulf war to present intelligence in a way that...

Is there anyway back for the White House?
Until Iraq gets seriously better there is probably no way that the President can set the agenda and turn his approval ratings positive! Although I supported the invasion of Iraq the lack of a coherent plan for the country after its liberation from Saddam, I think it has cause more problems than it...
