Labour spies on National

People are so paranoid now a days about the potential for big brother watching over us, what with CCTV Cameras, dog microchips and other things which can potentially track us for every move we make. However Helen Clarks deliberate and calculating release from one of her many Labour party spies demonstrates more than ever the desperation their party has to keep a hold of power.

I don't think I have ever seen such desperation in any political party in any election I have followed.

The sad thing that I see from all of this is that they recorded Bill English giving an opinion but the dumb idiot doing the recording didn't record the question he was responding too. Pretty slack I think.

Mr English is recorded as saying "I am a bit worried about this whole Obama and Europe thing just because there is a limited effectiveness in being moralistic about international relations, and Europe has turned out to be particularly ineffective even in its own back yard. "And the US, you can argue, overdo it - and Bush should have put a different window - a different window dressing - there still needs [to be] someone willing to pull the trigger."

Ms Clark is saying that it proves "...how militaristic the National Party is. "If there is a war going they want to be part of it." (Source: The New Zealand Herald online 05/11/08)

Defence Minister Phil Goff said that while National's "soft words" on wanting an independent foreign policy were a charade, "The reality is that underneath it all, National leaders are the same unreconstructed Cold War warriors they have always been."

You know...this is the thinking I have seen typical of the Labour lot in the last three years. Tired. Bored almost. Nearly certainly scare mongering. What they are saying seems to be is that next week, New Zealand troops are going to be deployed to Iraq, or Iran, wait, why not the DR Congo about now. The NZSAS are off to Moscow...Fools. Wait...lets send Phil Goff first with Helen...lets see the mood. The militants might run with fear.

I think Bill English is right. There needs to be someone in charge who will not a military man necessarily, is able to make the tough call and lead this country in a time of economic crisis, as well as military requirements. A person who can if necessary, commit New Zealand troops to an international military requirement if asked and the need is real.

In saying that I do not know if John Key is that person. But at this time, hes the person we need. Someone not blinded by the power of 9 years sitting in the same chair, looking at the same view, breathing the same air and talking the same crap for the past 9 years.

Get the keys and the car ready. The guard is going to change.
