RAMADI, Iraq: Two years ago, Anbar Province was the most lethal place for American forces in Iraq. A U.S. marine or soldier died in the province nearly every day, and the provincial capital, Ramadi, was a moonscape of rubble and ruins. Islamic extremists controlled large pieces of territory, with some so ferocious in their views that they did not even allow the baking of bread.
On Monday, U.S. commanders formally returned responsibility for keeping order in Anbar Province, once the heartland of the Sunni insurgency, to the Iraqi Army and police.

I really like this woman!
Here is a link to McCains Decision Center

One of the highlights of the DNC Pro Troop rally for me was being able to give Debbie Lee a hug. I handed her two Hippy Hygiene Kits and asked her to pass them out for me as I had to leave early to go to church. She laughed and it was really great connecting with someone who has been a hero for a long time.

I’m looking forward to landing in Minn. to be with like minded people who will be gathering for the RNC, who think in their “right minds.”
Many people would question if I was thinking in my right mind when I choose to come to Denver during the DNC and speak at a pro-troop rally across the street from the 25,000 to 50,000 anticipated violent, radical, anti-war, “peace” protestors. Okay this is part of the reasoning ability that they are lacking. There tactics and antics are the farthest thing from peaceful.
