In my opinion Tina Fey amazingly played the role of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the accent, the voice and the style. I can bet that during the first few words no one could differentiate between them. Amy Poehler as usual played Hillary Clinton. The sketch was really funny, something I do not usually say about SNL sketches. This was the opening sketch of the premiere of SNL’s new season.
I am not a pro political analyst, but just three headlines I read today made me believe that the Iran War is coming near and looks like its just matter of time. No one on this earth wants a war, except Israel I guess.
The first thing I heard was the announcement from the British Embassy that the risk of a terrorist attack in UAE is High. Then I saw Bush and Brown in a joint press conference where Bush said that although he hopes to settle Iran’s nuclear standoff through diplomacy he will not rule out the use of force. He said “I would like to say one thing about the Iranian demand for civilian nuclear power, it is a justifiable demand,” but he did repeatedly vow to keep the military option on the table by stating “consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran are such that military strikes are justified, whether a smoking gun is found or not”.
Brown echoed the same message, stating that an action will be taken against Iran, “Today Britain will urge Europe, and Europe will agree to take further sanctions against Iran, We will take action today that will freeze the overseas assets of the biggest bank in Iran, the Melli bank, and secondly action will start today for a new phase of sanctions on oil and gas”.
The third headline that made it so clear, crystal clear, its the news that Iran withdrew 75 Billion dollars from Europe yes I know how you feel . Basically Iran withdrew the 75 Billion dollars from Europe to prevent the assets getting blocked under the new sanctions.
I do not know what other news today or this week gave other clues, but those are the three news items that made me think this way. I might be mistaken, well actually I wish I am mistaken, we do not need more wars.
I was checking out youtube today and searching for different kind of new videos for Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Kucinich and Ron Paul, and I found this old video of Ron Paul which was submitted to youtube today. Simply amazing, Ron Paul two years ago have warned that to gain support to nuke Iran either by USA directly or through Israel that a “Gulf of Tonkin” type incident will occur. Again this is before TWO YEARS!!
Ron Paul have been right on many things by now, he predicted a number of things that happened years later, he amazing predicted what will happen if USA invaded Iraq, and that Iran have stopped their nuclear program, and he also predicted the recession that USA is heading towards. Day after day I realize that Ron Paul is simply the real deal, he knows what he is talking about and he simply does not bullshit around like other candidates. My advice to Mr. Paul is that if he did not win as a republican that he needs to enter the presidential race as an independent.
In Europe countries are battling today to reach Euro 2008, but in South America its a whole different kind of battle, 6 nations will be playing each other to qualify to the Word Cup, which will be held in South Africa in 2010 between 11 June and 11 July 2010.
In my opinion, it would be very interesting to watch Colombia and Venezuela.
