The current Dem congressional “leadership” continues to meddle in things that are outside their job description. People are sick of this – and the all time low (11%) congressional job approval rating confirms it. We’ll have the opportunity to send these bozos packing next year. Let us hope voters do exactly that.

No, GWR, they won’t give her the same coverage cuz her cause is noble and mama sheenut’s was a slam against the military and President Bush and we can’t have anything like that get out to the public now can we? The msm is sickening and God Bless Mrs. Gilbert and her husband’s service to our country.
Also, I am totally against the tour of ground zero being planned by iran’s dictator. That is scacred ground and he does not deserve to set one foot on it.
Columbia University is having him there for a speech on GET THIS, WHEATHER THE HOLOCOST ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
Our college tax dollars at work. !!!!

NC Cop says,

Rest assured Mrs. Gilbert, your husband’s sacrifice will not be in vain, nor will it ever be forgotten by this nation. God Bless you and thank you.

Amen to that…it’s true for those of us who hold our military in high regard and understand the importance of what they are doing every day.

For the leftists, his sacrifice will be just another stage prop for their antics.

The report on Mrs. Gilbert’s statement, from the NBC affiliate in Phoenix, is here. They have the video footage as well…it’s worth a good look.

By the way, I’m curious….does this give Ginger Gilbert “absolute moral authority”? Anyone here think that the MoonbatStream Media will give her the same nonstop attention it gave Cindy Sheehan for the next few months?

The far left is fuming over the failure of the Senate to pass the so-called “Webb amendment.”

Fear not, for the dems will use this as an attempt to claim that “Republicans don’t care about the troops!”. They will hold this high over their heads claiming that the Republicans don’t care about giving our troops time off. Count on it.

MSNBC is reporting that the US and Iraq have agreed to creating a “joint commission” to investigate a shooting incident that happened Sunday involving Blackwater USA which left 11 Iraqis dead.

As well it should. As much as the media would like to convict the Blackwater guys before finding out any facts, big shocker, this does need to be looked into. I certainly wouldn’t presume to judge men and women who were driving through the streets the Baghdad and trying to determine who was friend and foe, especially in the middle of an attack.
Al Maliki is certainly making it more and more difficult to support him and his administration. He was looking to score some points before he realized the consequences of throwing them out of the country, before an investigation was even completed.

The widow of a Maj. Troy Gilbert, an Air Force pilot killed in Iraq last year when his F-16 crashed, is furious at how the media is using recently released video footage of her husband’s corpse and the crash site,

Rest assured Mrs. Gilbert, your husband’s sacrifice will not be in vain, nor will it ever be forgotten by this nation. God Bless you and thank you.
