The National Conversation (Raw)

But They Promised!!!

"A former Guantanamo Bay inmate is leading the fight against U.S. Marines in the Helmand province of Afghanistan, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed to FOX News on Tuesday.'

***

"Explaining why Zakir was released from Gitmo, the defense official said, "We were under incredible pressure from the world to release detainees at Gitmo. You just don't know what people are going to do."

Which is why it is stupid to let them go! This is the reason to keep Guantanamo open and the prisoners locked up there. It's also the reason why we should be water boarding each and every one of them. But alas, the Democrats want the detainees to return to the fight.

Nice.

See the story at Fox.

Sarah's Satisfaction

If Sarah Palin had intended to make media heads collectively explode, she couldn't have planned it better. She called a press conference on short notice, then announced that not only would she not seek a second term as Alaska's governor, but she intended to resign later this month. All that would remain for her to do is pop some Orville's, sit back and enjoy the show as the punditocracy begins wildly speculating about that which it does not know. As crazy as this sounds, consider how crazy the reaction has been so far to her announcement...

Powell airs doubts on Obama agenda ( Say what!!!)

"So, I think the president, as he moves forward with his initiatives, has to start really taking a very, very hard look at what the cost of all this is. And, how much additional bureaucracy [will] be needed to make all of this happen?" Washington Times

DUDE!!!!!!!  DUDE!!!!!!!!

SHUT... YOUR FACE!

Seriously, I laughed until I cried! Tears were streaming down my face. My son thought that I had lost my mind! All I could think about was how the whole world ignored what this "transformational figure" said as a candidate when he told Americans what he was going to do!

Now Colin Powell has doubts?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha!

I wonder, does Powell now hope the Obama agenda fails?

Biden fails to draw crowd in Erie
Posted July 1, 2009 11 :29 AM

Wattsburg, Pa. — Vice President Joe Biden visited a small town on the outskirts of Erie today to talk to rural folks about federal stimulus money that can be used to expand broadband access to the Internet for rural areas that typically have poor connections.

Apparently stimulus money and broadband are not all that interesting to the local folk here: Only around 100 or so people have showed up so far to hear Biden talk at noon at Seneca High School off Route 8 in Wattsburg.

The room looked so sparse that about 30 or so chairs were removed by volunteers to give the illusion of a full house.

The effect didn't exactly work.

Pittsburgh native and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper are also on hand to talk about access to high speed internet as an essential tool for success in business and in school in our struggling economy.
