 BitDrifter says: I have. Yes, and now the Left has moved to their next plan of attack....the economy. They'll highlight the rise in oil prices....which could have/should have been dealt with by our Congress and aggressive action to liberate the US from oil dependence, and the housing market which, I believe, is in correction mode. Lets not forget...we have heard "Mission Accomplished" before. The real proof is when the US troops leave Iraq to the Iraqis. I believe, although it does not often make the newspapers. the "Left" has been critiquing the economy for some considerable time. Hopefully left, right and those who swing both ways are attending to the potential powderkeg of the CLC situation and ex DIA analyst Colonel Pat Lang's concerns over silence of strategic plans for power sharing across ethno-sctarian and lines, and the 'long drama of internal and external conflict' that will ensue without such strategic actions. Not the sort of stuff to make the front pages perhaps. Apologies for typos: sectarian, "religious lines". It was in the headlines, but some prefer to say it was not.

BitDrifter, you might find this clip interesting. But also the Iraqi people are believing in the commitment of our government and our military (we're growin' on them) and are turning against the insurgents. That is paramount. The people are finally believing that they can resist their enemies of a peaceful life and have someone to back them up. RAMADAN From September 13th to October 12th (in 2007) Muslims religiously observed Ramadan - the ninth month of the Muslim year - during which one fasts from sunrise to sunset, not only from food, drink and sexual relations, but also from impure thoughts and harsh actions. Similar to Lent in the Christian tradition, it is a time of intense introspection and reaffirmation of one's faith. Three levels of the Ramadan fast: * refraining from the physical things that are forbidden (performed with the mouth/stomach/sexual organs) * restraining oneself from saying, hearing and looking at forbidden things (performed with the senses) * renewing one's devotion to Allah (performed with t...
