SSgt. Frank Wuterich has not been exonerated, he’s waiting on appeals over outtakes regarding him being on 60 Minutes before his courts-martial can begin. Frank is the only one of the eight that has not been exonerated.

The more the left screams about Joe Wilson, the more the LIAR statement gets nailed in the minds of the voters.

Had me going for a minute, ticked. I'd have been thrilled to have missed it : (

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side.
And if "ifs" and "ands"
Were pots and pans,
There'd be no work for tinkers!
