U.S. hands back security of Anbar Province

U.S. hands back security of Anbar Province - International Herald Tribune

Two years ago, Anbar Province was the most lethal place for American forces in Iraq. A U.S. marine or soldier died in the province nearly every day, and the provincial capital, Ramadi, was a moonscape of rubble and ruins. Islamic extremists controlled large pieces of territory, with some so ferocious in their views that they did not even allow the baking of bread.

On Monday, U.S. commanders formally returned responsibility for keeping order in Anbar Province, once the heartland of the Sunni insurgency, to the Iraqi Army and police. The ceremony, including a parade on a freshly paved street, capped one of the most significant turnabouts in the country since the war began five and a half years ago.

Ex-Dem Chair Apologizes for Hurricane Remark

Political Radar: Ex-Dem Chair Apologizes for Hurricane Remark

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Former DNC Chairman Don Fowler apologized on Sunday for joking in a private conversation that the timing of Hurricane Gustav demonstrates that God is on the side of the Democrats.

Fowler was secretly recorded by the person sitting behind him while flying from Denver, Colo., to Charlotte, N.C., following the Democratic National Convention. His conversation with Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C., was anonymously posted to YouTube and highlighted by RedState.com, a conservative blog.

"One doesn't anticipate that one's private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase," said Fowler. "But that's the nature of what we're dealing with."

Fowler, a superdelegate who endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2007, was caught on tape saying: "The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. The timing is -- at least it appears now that it’ll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that God’s on our side.

I love the reaction anytime a Democrat gets caught doing something they wouldn't want people to know about: "where did you get that!...or...that was a private conversation!". It is a true testament to their character.

One of my favorite sayings is a definition of 'character' attributed to many people and slightly altered depending on whom it's attributed to:

Character is who you are when you think nobody is watching.

I guess we know the character of Don Fowler and John Spratt, don't we?

This is what has become of the democrats in this country...

Members of the lefty blogosphere haven't stopped perpetuating the rumor Sarah Palin "faked" her last pregnancy and are now humiliating her daughter Bristol on the blatantly incorrect suspicion she is the real mother of baby Trig.

"Sarah Palin is NOT the Mother" is the title of this DailyKos blog that accuses Bristol, a completely fit-looking adolescent teen, of having a "baby bump" in a photo they allege was taken March 9th of this year.
"Sarah, I'm calling you a liar" wrote blogger ArcXIX. "And not even a good one. Trig Paxson Van Palin is not your son. He is your grandson. The sooner you come forward with this revelation to the public, the better. " Photos of Bristol with detailed commentary about her abdomen are contained in the post.
Not only is the DailyKos disgustingly inspecting Bristol's midriff with all the fervor of LA paparazzi examining J-Lo's or Jennifer Aniston's washboard stomachs for evidence of a "bump," the DailyKos is wrong on when the photo was taken. It was taken, and published, by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006. Baby Trig, a child with Down's Syndrome, was born on April 18, 2008. That's a long time for a teen girl to be carrying a "bump" which looks nothing more than the curve of a tight sweater.

Folks - I can't even begin to tell you how angry this story made me.  But after thinking about it a bit and calming down - it hit me - this is all they've got.  Kooks like the bloggers at the DailyKos and liberal idiots like Alan Colmes have resorted to this type of crap to raise doubts about Sarah Palin.  This tells me only one thing.  They are SCARED.  This race is OVER and they know it.

After years and years of the Democrats supposedly pushing the causes of women - what they have meant all along and are showing the whole world now - is that a woman can be anything she wants and can do anything as well as man...UNLESS... she's a moral, conservative, hard working, pro-American (gasp) Republican!!

The Democrats are showing themselves to be the racist, sexist, bigots that we conservatives have known them to be for years.
