Is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the new Saddam Hussein?

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta of the Obama administration thinks that it's very likely that Israel will strike nuclear facilities in Iran in 'April, May or June'. He called the chance of an attack greater than fifty percent. That's because Israel, which has an estimated amount of 75 to 400 nuclear bombs, thinks Iran is the evilest country in the world since Saddam Hussein's Iraq. If Israel will attack Iran it wil have the support of the U.S., which holds an estimated amount of 10.700 nuclear warheads.

The explanation for the military attack on Iran, which hasn't directly attacked any country for centuries, will be that Iran might be able to get nuclear weapons soon and might get agressive towards it's neigbors, Israel or the West in the future. Something that peaceful but militarily weak countries like the U.S., Israel and the Netherlands, who recently attacked and/or occupied Iran's neighbor Iraq, fear immensely.

After the attack Israel will be supported by the UK (200 nuclear bombs) and France (300 nuclear bombs). Also the Dutch government - which very likely has 22 American nuclear bombs on Airbase Volkel - will support the attack.

Since almost all of the American media will support the attack, with Fox News urging the Obama administration for American forces to join Israel in bombing Iran, almost all Americans will support the attack on Iran. The result will be that a big majority of Americans will support the Obama-administration and Barack Obama - winner of the Nobel Peace Prize 2008 - will be reelected as president for a second term.

End good all good!

It’s now time to take a stand against Newt Gingrich

Remember Bob Dole, the widely respected Republican who lost against President Bill Clinton in 1996? This is what he thinks of Newt Gingrich. Go Tea Party Go!

Hardly anyone who served with Newt in Congress has endorsed him and that fact speaks for itself. He was a one-man-band who rarely took advice. It was his way or the highway. I have not been critical of Newt Gingrich but it is now time to take a stand before it is too late.

Would a bigger U.S. Army have stopped 9/11?

The Pentagon has presented plans to cut $487 billion in defense spending in the next ten years. It's not much but it's a start. It proposes to shrink U.S. ground forces with 100.000, slow the purchase of next-generation aeroplanes and retire old planes and ships.

This is the response of Republican Senator and defense expert John Cornyn:

"Taking us back to a pre-9/11 military force structure places our country in grave danger," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

So would, according to this Republican, 9/11 not have happened if the U.S. would have had three more infantry divisions? Or one more aircraft carrier?
Isn't it amazing that the American public keeps voting these nitwits in power? The only thing that could have stopped 9-11 was President George W. Bush listening to Clinton experts like Dick Clarke and not ignore reports like, "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in U.S."

Republican primary: ‘greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance’

Elder statesman Fidel Castro has this to say about the Republican race to the White House. Mind you, the retired Cuban leader has battled with eleven American governments since he came to power in the Cuban revolution in 1959:

"The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is - and I mean this seriously - the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been."

Americans most satisfied under Bill Clinton

Not one in five Americans is satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. In 2011 an average of 17% said they were o.k. with the America way, the second-lowest annual average in thirty years. Only in 2008 (George W. Bush) Americans were less satisfied. In 1986 (Ronald Reagan), 1998 (Bill Clinton) and 2000 (Bill Clinton) the satisfaction was highest at 60 percent.
