Glad to hear Iraqi forces have killed a local A-Q guy:

Iraqi forces killed a local al-Qaida in Iraq
leader and two other insurgents in a raid north of Baghdad on Friday,
and roadside bombs killed an American soldier and an Iraqi policeman,
officials said.

Iraqi commando forces acting on a tip raided a
house where Hamid al-Takhi and the two other insurgents were hiding in
Samarra, a city 60 miles north of Baghdad, said police Capt. Laith
Mohammed. All three were killed in a gunbattle.

Mohammed said al-Takhi had been responsible for many insurgent attacks against coalition forces and civilians in the area.

The MSM hasn’t noticed this but one of the most wanted terrorist ( here ) who bombed the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 was killed in Pakistan.

A senior Egyptian al Qaeda member was killed along with other
militants during a Pakistani military raid of a hideout in the northern
part of Pakistan, sources have told ABC News.

Multiple intelligence sources in Pakistan confirmed to ABC News that
they believed Abu Mohsin Musa, also known as Abdul Rahman, had died in
the overnight raid.

I’m glad our partner Pakistan in the War of Terror nabbed a bad guy.

What ever happened to PEACEFUL protests of the 60’s lefties? I just can’t stand the disrespect for our military! Michelle has the lowdown here. Apparently it was from "Women Studies" students that painted obscene and anti-war graffiti on the ROTC’s front door. (HT from Hugh Hewitt). Here is an excerpt from the Newsobserver here.

As before, vandals sprayed anti-war slogans and profanity, splashed
red paint and claimed responsibility with a mass e-mail message to area
media outlets.

Lt. Col. Carol Ann Redfield of the Army ROTC
program at N.C. State was caught off guard. "This is the first time I
know of that anything like this has happened here," she said. "I
certainly appreciate that people have different opinions, and they
should be able to express them, but I have a problem when they damage
property."

Like I said, you have a right as a citizen to voice your option in a peaceful manner. Once you destroy property you are breaking the law and should go to jail and pay restitution.

…All I am saying is this: we are in a fight to the death with Osama
and his ilk, and actually most people seem to realize that. This is a
fight that the army cannot win alone. I am a soldier, and frankly I do
not want amateurs and draftees fighting with me. We do just fine on the
battlefield as professionals. But is it too much to ask that these
industries contribute what they are good at to the war effort. If the
media and academia are so worried about losing the freedoms that
America provides for them, is it too much to ask that they do their
part to defend them, by telling the world how great those freedoms are,
and what they need to do to get them? I can fight terrorists ‘til the
cows come home, but I have no idea how to fight hatred of America,
especially when it comes from Americans.

"On the
big decisions of sending the troops in, I’d have done it again," Bush
told a questioner after a speech here on immigration.

Bush said
a new democracy is arising in Iraq where there once was tyranny. Over
the weekend, Bush talked with Iraqi leaders who were named Saturday to
form a coalition government.

"Each one
of them said, ‘We want to have a national unity government. We’re sick
of the sectarian violence. We believe if you stand with us, we can
achieve our objective of becoming a democracy that listens to the
people,’" Bush said.

I hope Tony Snow  takes up the job of Press Sec. I’ll love it when he takes on Helen Thomas and "Dave" Gregory! He was a speech writer for "41." Did he write the "Read my Lips" or the "Million points of light?" I hope he accepts the post. Good luck Tony!

I have been busy with my kids lately to blog. I got my daughter into a good school next year and that was an accomplishment. The school she is in now is going down hill. I am not a racist but I see the illegals every day when I take my child to school. I’m on the PTA and SSC  too. The Illegals don’t want to contribute to the school. They don’t volunteer because of language, they don’t speak English! They also have an education barrier that they did not finish school to begin with. We need to secure our boarder to keep the illegals from coming in and dragging down our schools. Since our school is a Title I school they receive money from the feds to help disadvantaged. Well, that does not help my child, who has a learning disability. I have her in special ed right now, but want to move her to a regular class room. NO, can’t do it because the school is at 50% on API. Being two grade levels behind would drag the class to emergency levels. So I just transferred my daughter to a school up the hill with mostly English speakers and at 80- - 90 % API. Now I just hope I can get my soon to be Kindergarten daughter in the same school. I’ll post more on Fullerton School Districts Open Enrollment Policy change later this week. I’ll attend the board meeting tomorrow.

I don’t mind that contraception to be available to those who need it. I have the firm belief if we stress abstinence to young women that they can control birth by not having sexual intercourse until marriage.

But the liberals won’t have that at all. And they did not mention it at all in this article ( Via Drudge here ),

Ironically, those advocating the loudest for an outright ban on
abortion are too often the same people who oppose prevention
initiatives and instead support making contraception less accessible,
particularly for low-income women who are more likely to have unplanned
pregnancies.

I say why not plan not to have sex until you have the contraception or willing to bring up the prodigy created in that union. Likewise, I don’t oppose prevention but those who support Abortion don’t always support to Abstain from sex.

I saw this post on Hugh Hewitt’s site about Veteran’s from Afghanistan and Iraq called Vets for Freedom. The creator of the site is Wade Zirkle who also authored this article in the Washington Post:

The morale of the trigger-pulling class of today’s fighting force is
strong. Unfortunately, we have not had a microphone or media audience
willing to report our comments. Despite this frustration, our military
continues to proudly dedicate itself to the mission at hand: a free,
democratic and stable Iraq and a more secure America. All citizens have
a right to express their views on this important national challenge,
and all should be heard. Veterans ask no more, and they deserve no less. (from WaPo here.)

I’m glad the Principal at this Colorado HS  backed down and allowed patriotic flags and wear back into the class room. Our troops are fighting for our freedoms and our government schools should not ban the flag. What are we teaching our kids to be? Communists or freedom loving Americans?

Also, the Amnesty bill for Illegals will not pass! They don’t have to votes to break the filibuster. It was bad from the start. We can’t have three triers of illegals. How can we enforce it? Like I stated before, we need immigrants to stand in line, learn English and bring skills we need instead of being the social service provider and waste billions on NON-Citizens.
