Hillary's welcome to Bosnia

The following was emailed to me by a friend. I thought it was so good I just couldn't resist positing it.

This was posted as from a GI who was at Bosnia.  I don't know if he was--but wow !!!! does he get Hillary Clinton.  This is from a column by Peggy Noonan Wall Street Journal.

What struck me as the best commentary on the Bosnia story came from a poster called GI Joe who wrote in to a news blog: "Actually Mrs. Clinton was too modest. I was there and saw it all. When Mrs. Clinton got off the plane the tarmac came under mortar and machine gun fire. I was blown off my tank and exposed to enemy fire. Mrs. Clinton without regard to her own safety dragged me to safety, jumped on the tank and opened fire, killing 50 of the enemy." Soon a suicide bomber appeared, but Mrs. Clinton stopped the guards from opening fire. "She talked to the man in his own language and got him [to] surrender. She found that he had suffered terribly as a result of policies of George Bush. She defused the bomb vest herself." Then she turned to his wounds. "She stopped my bleeding and saved my life. Chelsea donated the blood."

nobody will notice

When you are faking a pose for a camera photo opportunity, at least you can get the phone turned in the right direction!

And he wants to be President??? ???

SHARP AS A BAG OF OATMEAL!

America asked for a change

A little over one year ago:
1)  Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2)  Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3)  The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we've seen:
1)  Consumer confidence plummet;
2)  The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon;
3)  Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4)  American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses)
5)  Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6)  1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!  Thank you, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic Majority.

The most significant accomplishment by the Democratic controlled Congress in 2007:
THEY VOTED TO INCREASE THEIR PAY !!!

Oh, they also managed to drop their approval rating to the lowest in history!

commentary from One Jerusalem

McCain and Obama

[03.21.2008]

As Barak Obama is consumed with trying (and in our estimation failing) to answer the question of why he could faithfully attended a church which preached hatred of America, John McCain visited Israel and made news by what he said and did not do.

One journalist, who believes that Israel actually ha someone to negotiate a peace deal with, criticized McCain for failing to meet with the "moderate" Abbas.

The Arab press has forcefully denounced McCain for emphatically stating that Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish people. While we wish McCain had gone further and declared that Jerusalem should not be divided -- his statement caused Arabs to brand him a Zionist agent.

But perhaps more importantly McCain used his visit to go to the besieged town of Sderot. McCain helped focus international attention on the plight of these innocent Israelis who are under constant attack by Israel's enemies.

While McCain is on the firing line for defending Israel, Obama is failing to distract people away from the fact that he spent most of his adulthood looking to an anti-American racist for spiritual guidance.

I have to agree with this article on both counts. Obama made a good speech and no doubt he is very charismatic but he cannot deny knowledge of the speeches from Rev. Dr. Wright. If I were in a church where these types of statements were made I would be leaving the church and I certainly would not consider this type of a person a spiritual advisor. Obama's stand on Rev. Dr. Wright is not right (no pun intended) and could very well cost him the Democratic nomination.

I am proud of McCain's handling this past week. I do support Jerusalem and feel that McCain must openly state that Jerusalem must remain united

McCain Flashes Temper at Reporter

By LIBBY QUAID – 1 hour ago

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Republican Sen. John McCain, showing a flash of the temper he is known for, repeatedly cut off a reporter Friday when asked whether he had spoken to Democratic Sen. John Kerry about being his vice president in 2004. "Everybody knows that I had a private conversation. Everybody knows that, that I had a conversation," McCain told the reporter. "And you know it, too. No. You know it, too. No. You do know. You do know."

The reporter, Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times, was following up on a question McCain had answered at a campaign event Friday morning in Atlanta. Asked if he might consider Kerry as a running mate, since Kerry asked him in 2004, McCain said no.

Afterward, on a campaign flight, Bumiller said she looked in the Times' archives and that McCain had denied talking with Kerry in a May 2004 story. [story]

I saw the video and I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Of course, you have to consider that Ms. Bumiller, who checked the Times' archives also works for the Times. You know, the Times that published unsubstantiated, anonymous sources accusing McCain of having an affair.

Yeah, I would have gotten upset, too. Well, actually I would have kicked the Times' reporter(s) off my campaign airplane after the previous article. I think he was pretty kind to put up with the Times' dirty tricks, back stabbing and untruthfulness.

If the Times was a really responsible in their reporting they would have just a few ethics and apologize to McCain for the the story they printed.

JOSHUA FUND CALLS ON PASTORS, CHRISTIAN LEADERS, CHURCHES AROUND THE WORLD TO PRAY FOR PEACE OF JERUSALEM
Epicenter conference will continue as scheduled next month. "More important than ever" to stand with Israel in prayer and in person.

By Joel C. Rosenberg

(Washington, D.C., March 7, 2008) -- The Joshua Fund staff last night held an emergency conference call to pray for the wounded and families of all the victims after a horrifying terror attack at a religious Jewish school left 8 dead and 10 wounded. During that call, we agreed that we are even more committed than ever to encouraging thousands of Christians to go to Israel next month and participate in the Epicenter conference. We believe now is the time to show the people of Israel that evangelical Christians love them, pray for them and will stand with them no matter what happens.

We are calling on pastors, evangelical leaders and churches around the world to mobilize your email and phone prayer chains to pray for the people of Jerusalem and Israel at this critical time. Please also pray for the largely forgotten Israeli citizens who live in Sderot, Ashkelon and other towns along the border with Gaza who are being hit with a seeming never-ending barrage of rockets, missiles and mortars. Please consider having a special time of prayer during your weekend church services for the peace of Jerusalem and for peace along the Gaza border. Please also pray that God would miraculously change the hearts of the Palestinians who are responsibile such evil attacks. And pray that the Lord would have mercy on the vast majority of Palestinians who hate such attacks and feel trapped by the actions of the Radical Islamic jihadists around them.

A few other specific prayer requests you might consider:
* Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as we are commanded in Psalm 122:6.
* Please pray that the Lord would comfort those wounded in the attack, and the families of those killed, and that the

Lord would show His people how to comfort all those who are suffering so greatly. "'Comfort, O comfort My people,' says your God. 'Speak kindly to Jerusalem; and call out to her, that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the LORD'S hand, double for all her sins.'" (Isaiah 40:1-2)

* Please pray for wisdom for the leaders of Israel to know how best to respond to this attack. May they be like "men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do." (I Chronicles 12:32)

* Please pray for wisdom and discernment for the Christians in Jerusalem and throughout Israel to know how best to comfort their neighbors and be a force for prayer and peace. "Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep." (Romans 12:15)

* Please pray for the upcoming Joshua Fund tour in Israel and Epicenter conference in Jerusalem. As I noted above, we believe it is more important than ever to bless Israel and stand with her. We trust that the Israeli authorities are going to keep the city and country safe. And we intend to be on our knees, beseeching the God of Israel to be our hope, our protection, and our shield. Now is not the time to abandon Israel. Now is the time to stand with her in prayer, and in person. "For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet....You who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves, and give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth." (Isaiah 60:1, 6-7)

* Finally, please pray that the Lord would show you and your congregation how to bless Israel in tangible and practical ways in the days and weeks ahead. "For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me." (Matthew 25:35-36)

Next week, my Joshua Fund colleagues and I fly to Tucson, Arizona where I will address 1,000 evangelical Christian pastors on what is happening in the epicenter and how they and their congregations can bless Israel and her neighbors at this critical hour. By God's grace, we will be able to enlist allies for OPERATION EPICENTER, our drive to provide $120 million worth of humanitarian relief aid to the poor and needy and victims of war and terrorism in the region over the next few years.

If there is any way we can serve you; answer your questions about OPERATION EPICENTER; or help you mobilize your congregations to LEARN, PRAY, GIVE and GO; please don't hesitate to contact Jeremy Grafman, TJF's Director of Special Projects. His email is jeremy@joshuafund.net. Or visit our website, www.joshuafund.net.

Thank you so much for loving Israel and standing with her people. They need you more than ever. God bless you.
