    errata/edit
    what I meant to say above was "It strikes me that the voice from the politicians I’m not really hearing, or seeing, that much of in the mainstream media, is..."

    one day I'll take the time to write less...

    in from the bewilderness...
    It strikes me that the voice I’m not really hearing, or seeing, that much of in the mainstream media, is the ’Whoa, things have just gone too far, lets all step back, cool down, take stock and talk to each other. Let’s not get rushed into reactive lashing out. voice
    Less of the ‘OTT O.T.* punishment shtick’ .
    It’s as if Obama, Kerry & McCain just want some of that old time religion retribution…
    …and then it’s not far to regime change and decapitation.

    and then what?

  • Hard News: Jonesing, in reply to Hilary Stace,

    I find it fascinating how many media commentators think it is their role to anoint someone as LP leader

    ...and also bewildering, and pointless, is Key and other National ministers' near constant 'helpful strategy advice' to Labour...

    “His navy. Sink it”

    The Russians may not be too happy about that, as they putatively share naval facilities at Tartus and supplied many of the navy’s vessels, as well as being Syria’s major arms provider… that might ‘creep the mission’ a tad too far!
    (Unless of course Putin is keen to resell them a bunch of new ships… business is business)

  • Hard News: Jonesing,

    Jones does as he pleases it seems, why would you let a a non-team player run the show?
    Or is he perceived as Labour's maverick version of John Key - in that lazy old 'if-ya-can't-beat-them-fairly, emulate-them' kinda way...
    Not my cup of tea...

  • Hard News: This time it's Syria, in reply to Russell Brown,

    Is he implying the UN – contrary to all appearances – had an agenda to frame the regime for the attacks?

    From reading the same quote, I thought he was saying

    We simply do not know.

    a fair position in this fluid and dynamic situation...
