I'm sure this will quickly be labeled a photo-op by the Lamestream Media.

Fox News also interrupted the rerun of Brit Hume's "Special Report" with this breaking news...

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

When the President is down many on our side will pile up on him. It is left for us to defend him. But when things will turn around in the President favor, and it will turn around in the next three months, you will see the opportunists from our side who are piling on him now will be all standing with him expressing their support.

"I want to talk about the importance of reaching across sectarian lines," Rice said on her unannounced visit to this northern Iraqi city, which is about 60 percent Iraq Arab.

Did AP mean to say "60% Sunni"?

Totally agree.

It's sad how fickle some can be.

I know. But he says fair balanced and unafraid. It was not balanced today.

possibly, but Mosul is a very ethnically diverse town...

You have Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen, Assyrians....everyone...

There is more than enough good reason for that. Let's start with Bush's failure to support ANY conservative POV's for the past three years. Spending? WTH. Border control? WMW? Free speech? Let the Dims define that. I have supported and now despise Bush. The reason for Bush's decline in the polls is his loss of CONSERVATIVE support -- which is entirely justifiable.

OK just keep piling up on him. When President Bush is up again and he will, I will make sure that I will rub it very hard in the face of liberals and many on this forum.
