On the Radio One news this morning I heard a report that President Obama was going to send an additional 40,000 troops to Afghanistan. Whatever the rights and wrongs it struck me as an interesting way to celebrate getting Nobel Peace Prize!
But now it turns out the report was wrong. Mind you it sounds more like the report was premature more than anything else.

Anything I write here is my own opinion and is not endorsed by my employers, the Labour party (nationally or locally), my family, the cat, the dog, the other dog, West Ham United FC or anyone else - and especially not Midphase Hosting. Its just a personal blog, in other words: Promoted and published by me on behalf of me (yes its all me, me, me. Vanity publishing at its worst) although I'm not particularly promoting anything, just describing and generally rambling for my own entertainment, but the whole Internet thing is such a grey area you have to be on the safe side don't you? There is always going to be some idiot who takes it all seriously. No names - you know who you are. Not that anyone reads all this stuff at the bottom anyway, not when there is more exciting stuff to do like watching paint dry...
