President Bush will never be classified as someone who bows to foreign pressures, that’s for sure. The latest “wait a minute” moment from the man I voted for comes as Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki suggests a timetable for America to withdraw its troops. From the article:
Iraq has proposed a short-term memorandum of […]

Again, as I’m cleaning out some old e-mails I’m coming across some pretty interesting ones. The first military quote below has been confirmed by Snopes.com while the other two are not on their site. It would be nice if the valor, honor, and truth of these statements carried through all discussions regarding the […]

Prince Harry - also known as “The Spare” - was deployed in Afghanistan up until a few days ago. After word leaked that he was fighting on the front lines against remnants of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, the British Royal Army pulled him out of the country and brought him back home. This […]

Earlier today I found an interesting little diddy on FOXNews.com regarding some of Al Gore’s assertions in An Inconvenient Truth. The article is written by a FOX News contributor named Steven Milloy who, by all accounts, appears to be a strong conservative in all of his policy and political leanings. So bear that […]

At these annual meetings, various world leaders are permitted to come and speak before the assembly, including those who lead nations that […]

The television ratings for the Live Earth concert apparently were a failure. In the United States, the concert was watched by about 2.7 million people.

There’s been so many new offers of help from countries throughout the world for Katrina relief that’s it’s almost hard to keep up with it.
Kuwait pledged $500 million in oil and aid just as Qatar pledged $100 million. WOW!
Even Iran got into the act with a pledge of aid. Author John Grisham is […]

General Hurricane News:
Hurricane Katrina has completely altered the Louisiana/Mississippi coastline. There are communities that are entirely wiped out, neighborhoods that are completely gone, and homes that were battered so badly that there isn’t even a pile of rubble left where they once stood.
I saw one story about a Vietnamese community that came to Mississippi […]

What a disaster those folks in New Orleans and the entire Gulf Region are going through. In order to bring back the region, those people are going to need a lot of prayer, a lot of rebuilding, and ultimately - a lot of money.
So I’m not going to give a perspective on the damage […]

Welcome to all on this most glorious day for the fighting American troops in Iraq! Whether you’ve agreed with this war or whether you were against it, no one can deny two things - first, that our troops overseas deserve our admiration and respect for doing a job that we are not doing. […]

Hello all and welcome back to the Babblings. This time around I want to take a look at the recent boycott by some folks of French goods and services and the chance that maybe this is keying in to a deeper underlying sociopolitical feeling in America.
I think that unless you’ve lived under a rock (no […]

Here we go. Thanks to Eddie for helping me as I decided which topic that I wanted to cover in this latest edition of the Babblings. I’ve decided to let the relevancy and power of the United Nations Security Council be the latest topic that gets the brief looking over from the eyes of the […]
