    Really now, Secretary of State Clinton "set to move center stage"? Of the three foreign policy prongs __ Diplomacy, Development, Defense __ none are Secretary HRC's forte! She will give a "speech" approved by the Obama White House (advisers General Jim Jones, Biden et al). The special envoys hold the working portfolios because the men like Mitchell have the experience and expertise President Obama requires. Secretary of State will not hold powers of Secretary Geithner because Clinton obviously does not have foreign policy clout, preparedness approaching what Geithner possesses for his chair__or Secretary Gates for defense chair. Watch! Secretary of State will continue a minor player in a big chair. Hillary Clinton in Obama administration will not function a la Condi Rice in the Bush 2 FP and presidency. The first 100 days have described Secretary of State's limited portfolio, and the real role Clinton will play in Obama foreign policy will, I wager, continue small-ish! She has done no heavy lifting first 100 days. . . .? ! ! She did Oprah-like stuff or just Hillary-talk on kick off of SofS travels to Japan, Indonesia, China, Israel. . .?

    I'll say Hirsh. NEWSWEAK, which is increasingly on the dull edge of the media spearpoint, waited weeks before it finally acknowlaged Chinas cyberwar against the US, which has suceeeded in penetrating several of our most secret defense systems. [this is what comes of slavishly devoting ink time to the Anointed One while the rest of the world moves forward, or back,depending on the given situation].
    Of which there are several. Unrest in the Ukraine, Moldova,and a new incursion into Georgia has had the effect of wiping out any nascent promises by the new Soviets that ''if you remove your missle defense systems in Poland,we will do this in return''.''This''being leaving the Balt Russians alone,which was always a lie from its inception.
    The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is stalled. Abbas will not recognize Israels right to exist . This alone would have drawn a hardline from Bibi, which was compounded by the torpedoeing or bombing of an Iranian freighter off Gaza last week which was packed with guns and munitions for HAMAS. al Qaeda is doing a brisk business in East Africa, Darfur is being ignored, the Taliban,as we have seen,is resurgent and can most certainly lay claim to Pak nuclear sites. Perus Shining Path is up and running again, and the banana republic strongmen in Morales, Chavez, and Ortega,all of whom gave Obama a dressing down that Reagan never would have stood for, are as surly as ever. Mexico of course, is in shambles, fighting off both a literal insurrection and the flu all at once. Early moves by Clinton have been ineffective,causing these problems to only grow.The stupidity shown Americas allies by the new head of DHS have also made matters worse.

    If Pakistan is apprehensive about India, the first step is to, ease that up and it ca`nt be done by verbal assurances by US, Richard Holbrook can not willfully blind himself to the fact that Pakistan Military is based on its doctrine of war with India and if that doctrine has to been changed, KASHMIR ISSUE MUST BE RESOLVED.The statement by JKLF(R) reflects this in following
    The unchecked use of military force by Indian army and police, with no regard and respect to right to life, property and prospect has become an institutionalized standard for the so called state government and its apparatus to deliver for their masters in New Delhi, so that the illegal occupation of Kashmir by India is safeguarded, said the JKLF® Chairman, Farooq Siddiqi in a statement issued from Srinagar.

    The malicious and discriminatory way that it deals with the Muslims in Kashmir is a dangerous example that India has set in and is bound to jeopardize the faith in the concept of western democracy all over the Muslim world.

    Ignoring India???s high handedness and giving it the impunity status while it is using draconian laws and lethal force to crush and suppress the voice of freedom and dissent to India???s election in Kashmir will prove a misconstrued path in dealing with South Asian peace. An oversight by International community in this regard, especially the US Obama administration will be ill advised path, the statement added

    Farooq Siddiqi said that while the international community is supporting creation of new democratic governments in Asia and South America, they must also evaluate the existing democracies such as India and Israel whose stubborn and egotistical and barbaric treatment against civilian dissent within their occupied territory under the garb of democracy has become the root cause of insecurity in Middle East and South Asia and beyond.

    The effects of ignoring India???s suppression in Kashmir, will result in contradict, the hopes of those who seek peace and security in south Asia.

    JKLF® Chairman Farooq Siddiqi said that importance of resolution of Kashmir in south Asia for the peace and security is correctly reflected by General David Petraeus in his recent remarks and we hope that such reflections are echoed by the diplomatic echelons of Washington.
