"They’re a bunch of fxxxing hypocrites! And we need to, we just need to rise up..." Cindy Sheehan said of the Bush administration.

"If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his bullxxxx, that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he is spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free?" Cindy Sheehan said.

"The president's policy in Iraq has played into the hands of the terrorists," he said. "Iraq is now the principal training ground for terrorists," Sen. Russ Feingold, (D-WIS.) who aspires to the presidency, said.

Sept. 11 Advocates, a group led by five women from New Jersey and Connecticut whose husbands died in the attacks, said Colonel Shaffer's account was evidence that panel members "failed in their obligation to the American public and to those who lost their lives on 9/11."

Edwards’ trifecta

Former Sen. John Edwards won the trifecta of great Democrat speaking engagements. Currently, Edwards is engaged in his third trip into Iowa this year.

1.      He is the headliner for the Iowa Federation of Labor’s annual banquet.

2.      He also is the major speaker at the Iowa Farmers Union. He of course will do some fund-raising for Iowa Democrats while here.

3.      If that wasn’t enough, Sen. Tom Harkin has lined him up to be the key speaker at his annual "Steak Fry" on Sep. 18 in Cummins.

Many believe that Edwards starts out in the best position of anyone in the field given Hillary Clinton will not be campaigning in Iowa.

Actionable material

Ambassador John Bolton needs to read the NY Sun, and if he does, he will realize some important actionable material to take against the institution that is out of control:

The U.N. support of the Palestinian Authority's propaganda operation in the midst of the Israeli evacuation of Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip has provoked outrage from Israeli and Jewish leaders, who are blaming Turtle Bay for propagating an inflammatory message that they say encourages Palestinian Arab violence. . . .

The Arabic slogan, which refers to disputed territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, has become ubiquitous in Gaza, where Israeli soldiers this week are evacuating 21 settlements. It's served as the central message of a Palestinian Arab effort to spin the withdrawal as a victory.

A special representative of the United Nations Development Program in the Gaza Strip, Timothy Rothermel, told Fox News that his office provided financial support for the production of materials that make up the Palestinian Authority's propaganda campaign, timed to coincide with the Gaza pullout. The Palestinian Authority's withdrawal committee developed and produced the posters and other items using U.N. money, Mr. Rothermel said.

In addition to the slogan "Today Gaza and Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem," many of the materials displayed the logo of the United Nations Development Program, which operates in 166 countries and spends about half a billion dollars a year.
