Low expectations from Obama-Netanyahu parley
Sunday, July 4, 2010
JERUSALEM, July 4 (Xinhua) -- United States President Barack Obama is slated to host Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on Tuesday. The leaders are expected to discuss the Palestinian and Iranian issues.
Analysts do not expect too much to come out of the talks.
The meeting was initially meant to take place last month, but Netanyahu had to call it off and return to Israel from Canada when news broke of the Gaza maritime convoy incident. Israeli commandoes boarded a Turkish ship that was attempting to break the Israeli marine blockade of Gaza, with nine people losing their lives in the ensuing melee.
NEW PROPOSAL REPORTED
The meeting will take place in the wake of reports on Sunday suggesting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has proposed a peace agreement that would include a land exchange with Israel that would see the transfer of 2.3 percent of the West Bank into sovereign Israel, with similar land being handed over to the Palestinians to comprise part of their future state.
The report in the London-based Arabic daily Al Hayat suggested that the Palestinians would allow Israel to retain certain suburbs close to Jerusalem and also control of the hills close to the country's Ben-Gurion International Airport.
Abbas is also reportedly prepared to allow Israel to retain control of the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's Old City with the Palestinians running the remainder of the famous landmark but guaranteeing access to all of its quarters for everyone.
The current international thinking is that the Old City be run by a group of nations, possibly including the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
Within hours of the publication of the Al-Hayat report, Palestinian spokesmen were denying its veracity. However, there do seem to be increasing signs that Abbas has sent some indication to Netanyahu of his intentions regarding a final settlement.
It is understood that these messages have been relayed by U.S. envoy George Mitchell who is chairing indirect talks between the Palestinian and Israeli leaders.
Netanyahu and Washington have both indicated they favor an early commencement of a direct parley but the Palestinians are less keen and are seeking assurances before agreeing to face-to- face talks. Among the Palestinian concerns is that come September Israel will fail to renew its freeze on construction in settlements in the West Bank.

Replacing McChrystal Doesn’t Change Anything
Thursday, June 24, 2010
In his Rose Garden speech on Wednesday that General McChrystal said the president with a strategy based on a difference "has not decided to make moves, and the appointment of the highly praised Petraeus" allows us to maintain the momentum and leadership that we will need to succeed. "Obama's biggest problem right now is a wave of doubt, not only stressful McChrystal clearly made, but throughout the military and national security apparatus that is not the actual speed or that the policy is to work in Afghanistan. Mint in the local population and winning hearts and minds of the guerrillas and terrorists in this case (anchoring is doing to help them based on the view, the Taliban). But informed critics say that the number in Afghanistan, as many factors for success are missing, especially reliability, a large enough power for its size with a central government and a local (power Afghan army and police) to turn things to stop. , Says Coin, a military researcher, who participated in debates in the Pentagon one critic, "briefs in DC very well, but you can not operate in Afghanistan," but only on condition of anonymity to talk to avoid the fate McChrystal.
A general, almost universal criticism, not a general who was criticized by replacing with Obama Wednesday pulled a political masterpiece. But with inappropriate comments and announced that he will be replaced by General Stanley McChrystal to make his senior's abrupt resignation, CENTCOM commander David Petraeus, the real problem Obama papered: counterinsurgency (coin) that McChrystal defended Petraeus strategy and almost invention can be serious errors in at least as practiced in Afghanistan.
These critics say that the result is the worst of all possible world: "A very long and bloody struggle in which we ourselves over the years, we win all the cheats, no chance to win." Something like Vietnam, in other words. "It's kind of sad irony that McChrystal and the collapse of a very troubled strategy confirmed will result in Monterey, which served in Afghanistan as a general California Arquilla Naval Postgraduate School John says: "I'm back in 2006, told Newsweek in a piece called" Jihadistan growth: "impasse may be over 40 or 50 years. the Taliban as long as NATO acquisition is not. instead America, such as K or Tribord area will be like a prolonged Out impasse affecting areas all intersect."
Obama, Erdogan Discuss Iran Deal
Thursday, May 20, 2010
United States responded with little fanfare to communication with officials in Washington and some of the other major powers involved in the deadlock, said the agreement signed with the external communication of Turkey and Brazil have failed to ease their concerns that Iran is eventually intended to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
During Wednesday's call, "said Obama raised those concerns again," Erdogan that the international community is divided "the continuing and fundamental concerns about Iran's overall nuclear program and Iran's lack of living up to its international obligations."
Tuesday the United States introduced a UN resolution aimed at Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program, won long-awaited and important support from China and Russia for new sanctions against his powerful Revolutionary Guard, and new measures to try to limit Iran's military, economic, and shipping.
Iran rejected the resolution as "illegal" on Wednesday, calling it a reactionary response to the Turkish-Brazilian deal.
"The resolution being debated in the Security Council has no legitimacy whatsoever," the official news agency IRNA quoted the top Iranian presidential advisor Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi as saying after a cabinet meeting.
U.S. Ambassador to UN Susan Rice emphasized that the draft resolution and uranium swap agreement has nothing to do with each other and told reporters that Iran's decision to continue enriching uranium to 20 percent strengthens its violations of sanctions and "eliminates any confidence-building potential.
The senior UN diplomat has raised some questions about Iran-Turkey-Brazil agreement, noting that in the first paragraph, says that Iran has the right to enrich nuclear material that is not expressly permitted under the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty and is prohibited under previous UNSC resolutions .
Oh How The Mighty Can Fall
Wednesday, September 16, 2009
I've always wondered what it would be like to be fabulously wealthy, to not have to worry about "the common mans problems". I discussed this with a friend of mine recently, I remember saying to her that if you had all the money in the world, everything would be alright, all my problems would simply fade away. Of course, this is clearly naive thinking on my part. As always, my friend imparted her pearls of wisdom and calmly said "You would have a new set of issue to deal with." I realized that I had never really thought about it like that. What would it REALLY be like if you had all the money in the world?
One thing I have always believed is that when a person struggles financially, when there are limitations to what can be done, respect is nurtured. A respect for other people, a respect for what is right and even though bound financially, there is a freedom in knowing how difficult life can really be and a deep appreciation for the important things in life such as family, children, friends, love and truth.
So after I felt better about myself and the fact that I don't have millions but I have what is important (and that just might be the poor person in me talking) I came across a story in the news that almost confirmed what I believe in.
A socialite, Clare Irby, a descendant of the Guinness brewing family, behaved appallingly on a long haul flight. She stripped down to her underwear after getting drunk, allowed her son to run around without a nappy on, treated the airline staff like.....you know the rest and started getting it on with a passenger, who's girlfriend happened to be on the same flight. Now, of course, because of her wealth she will never fully understand the consequences of her actions. She will never learn to be respectful because I'm sure daddy will always be more than willing to bail out his little princess.
Another great example of someone lacking any kind of respect for his fellow man is Kanye West who stole a momentous moment from Taylor Swift after she had received an award for best video. I watched the video in horror as he so callously told the audience that Beyonce's video was better. These are people who have no boundaries, who don't realize the consequences of their actions because they have never been made to face them. Don't even get me started on Paris Hilton.....
These are examples of people who can afford to do whatever they want and I consider them to be ignorant jackass's, thanks for that one Obama. So much good can be done with the power and money that these people have and instead they behave like mindless idiots, maybe it's the parents that should be blamed, for not teaching their privileged children right from wrong.
With great power, comes great responsibility. Running with scissors.......I'm sure that many poor people have uttered these words but I'm laying them on you today, one day when I am rich, I will use my power and money for the good of my family as well as mankind, and you can hold me to that. In the meantime, I will continue to read these ridiculous stories and hope that one day these fools will understand what life is really about and stop living in their lala lands.

Whats news?
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
So, I was looking for the biggest news stories in Spain today and came across this little gem, published by typicallyspanish.com. Spanish newspapers are doing it for themselves and instead of working from news feeds and all of that - they decided to headline what they really wanted to headline today. Love that. So below is a breakdown of what everyone thought was relevant, newsworthy, immediate and too delicious to not comment on.
Today's PúblicoAll the papers go their own ways today with a host of different front page storiesEl País leads with the headline that Obama has noted light signs of recovery of the economy. The paper reports that Washington has detected improvements in construction and consumer demand. Both Obama and the President of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, have coincided in giving messages of ‘moderate optimism’
El Mundo headlines that the Prime Minister, Zapatero, is turning to the left, and counting on the support of the ERC, Catalan Republicans, IU, left wingers and the BNG, Galican nationalist to keep his minority government in power.The paper says that the laws on abortion and religious freedom have been promised to them this year, and Zapatero has underlined his policies against the crisis are based on ‘solidarity’ and ‘social commitments’.
El País notes that the Basque deputy, Eduardo Madina, has now risen to number two in the PSOE Socialist party in Congress. It comes as Ramón Jäuregui features on the candidate list for the European elections.Público leads with the future of the COPE radio presenter, Jiménez Losantos. The paper headlines ‘The preacher entrenches against the Bishops’. The radio network is owned by the Catholic Bishops in Spain who have finally indicated they want him off the morning slot following his frequent ranting, and several successful slander cases against him. The paper says he said on air yesterday that he is putting the matter in the hands of his lawyers, and is blaming Rajoy, Gallardón, the Crown, and Carndinal Cañizares – ‘who has gone to the Vatican to cry.’Losantos said ‘The Bishops don’t know what they want. Without me COPE will go and fry asparagus. If the owners want to risk the future of 900 families, that will be their decision’.
Ignacio Escolar has a piece in the Público paper today, entitled ‘The squatter in COPE’.El País says that the Government is planning a public television service, almost without advertising. The Prime Minister announced what he called a ‘drastic reduction’ in the amount of advertising.
El Mundo notes that the Basque Regional Police, Los Ertzainas, have complained that there are not enough of them to protect the members of the Basque Government, presided over by the Socialist Patxi López. The paper says he is demanding 1,200 Ertzainas work as bodyguards in the region as security is stepped up.
El Mundo has a large front page photo of the Mayor of Madrid, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, shaking hands with Miguel Sebastián, the man who was his opponent in the municipal elections in 2007, and who is now the Minister for Industry. The paper says it has taken just under two years for the two men to return to cordiality.El País notes that the prosecutors’ office wants to question the PP leader in Valencia, Francisco Camps, over his suits, allegedly obtained as part of backhanders for contracts. The paper also notes that the PP National Treasurer, Luis Bárcenas, is still under investigation also as part of the Gürtel case.
El Mundo reports that the leader of the Partido Popular, Mariano Rajoy, is to ask in Congress that the Minister for Defence, Carme Chacón, explain the allegations against the CNI, Spanish security service, and its director Alberto Saiz. It’s alleged he used the infrastructure of the department to go hunting and fishing in Mali, Senegal and Mexico.El País has a front page photo of Hawa Meint Cheik, the mother who has been charged for forcing her 14 year old daughter to marry a 40 year old man. The prosecutor in Cádiz wants her held in prison considering there is a risk of flight, while she has called for ‘respect of her traditions’.The woman who comes from Mauritania faces 17 years in prison.El Mundo continues with its allegations about the Madrid Train Bombings fugitive, Daoud Ouhnane.
The paper says today that he was identified at least two years before the Interior Minister said he was. The paper claims he was recognised in Algeria in 2006, and judge Del Olmo was informed at the time.El Mundo notes that the Government has pardoned the deaf and dumb mother from Jaén who hit her son.And the first gay domestic violence fatality is reported across the press. El Mundo says the man killed his ex husband in Adra, Almería and then committed suicide.In international stories:El Mundo report that the Vatican has vetoed Caroline Kennedy as being the United States ambassador, because of her defence of abortion.El País gives the story prominence also and says that Pope Ratzinger, in an open campaign against abortion worldwide, will not entertain an ambassador known for her progressive position on civil rights.
