Congratulations to President Obama. Although a gasbag he has pulled off a remarkable victory by getting the House of Representatives to pass the Senate version of the Healthcare bill this morning. However his joy seems likely to be shortlived because going by current polls the Democrats are likely to suffer heavy casualties in November. If that happens he will become a lame duck for the rest of his term which may not be a bad thing. Seems that the US is now preparing a civilian nuclear deal with Pakistan. This is a failed state parts of which are controlled by some of the most dangerous murderers on the planet. There is the army which probably controls the nuclear weapons. The ISI, a state within a state, runs terrorist organisations like the LeT and supports the Taliban which is killing US and NATO soldiers in Afghanistan. There are an assortment of Islamic fanatics and warlords with bands of heavily armed psychos ready to kill or die at any time. For them anything including women, children, schools, hospitals even mosques are legitimate targets. A lot of these are independent entities making money from the opium trade and, as is happening in Mexico where American consular officials were killed recently, will oppose any form of government control because it will interfere with their trade. It was Pakistan that supplied the bomb making knowledge to Iran which will soon become a nuclear weapon state. Obama thinks that by running away from Iraq and Afghanistan he will save the US. He should remember that 9/11 was planned and set up in Pakistan and the Islamic bomb could well come to the US.
