Bush Authorizes Troops into Pakistan

U.S. troops entered the region of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan and raided several villages, killing 20. It has since been learned that the raids were secretly authorized by the George W. Bush regime back in July.

According to the New York Times, no legal precedent was cited by the Bush regime for approving the cross-border raids, which were heavily debated within the regime for months.
The effect was to provoke Pakistan into approving military force to “repel” U.S. raiding parties. According to WPA sources in the region, Pakistani soldiers stopped a raid by U.S. Navy SEALs yesterday. No one was killed.

Was Sarah Palin a good choice for John McCain’s vice presidential candidate?

But McCain is not Bush. No matter what you think of McCain, you can’t pin that on him. Now Palin? Palin is Bush.

We know nothing about Sarah Palin. Nothing. Which is not anywhere near enough information to elevate her to the position whereby she would succeed McCain if he died in office or suffered a catastrophic illness. At 72 years of age and in questionable health, McCain’s fitness to coach a high school football team would be in doubt, let alone the grueling reality of the presidency of this country.

John McCain is, statistically, more likely to die or suffer some catastrophic illness during his first term than any other man that has sought the office. Who would succeed him? George Bush would succeed him. Someone with no record. No experience. Only question marks. Everywhere. Forget about the fact that Palin looks a lot like a really attractive TV star I know. Underneath all the Tina, she’s George.

Leaving for South Africa TODAY!….

Ahhh its crazy the day has finally arrived!  I’m actually leaving for South Africa on a Mission Trip today.  We are going to help build a three room school house for the kids in Bukwini a small city near East London. 

 Trust me its not the London you’re probably thinking of.  I had to actually check a globe to believe it myself, but there is actually a city in “South” Africa called “East” London they must really love their directional names in Africa :-P

Not very often you hear of a city starting with North, East, South or West in the states.  I’m sure I’m going to learn of many things that the here in the States they would or do normally do over there…
