Hillary Clinton for President!

Hillary Clinton for President!

We people of Tennessee have done our part in securing Hillary's position as the next president of the United States of America and now we can only ask that you beautiful people in Texas, Ohio,Rhode Island and beyond do your part!

The way I see it is very clear. We have 3 choices, Hillary, John & Obama. It is absolutely 100% a FACT that if Hillary were a man with the same qualifications, she would be the absolute front runner!

I am a white, male from South Carolina (originally) and I think, if I can see it so clearly, then it should be pretty easy for the rest of the country to see that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified for the job, not to mention the "2-fer" deal.

Our economy is in need of someone with proven success to help it rebound and the Clinton's are the ONLY ones with a successful tract record!

Now, I know many people share my opinion and many do not and I welcome ALL of your comments and responses as long as you keep them self moderated!

AFP: 2007 deadliest year for US troops in Iraq

Despite a drop in US casualties in the past six months, 2007 has proved the deadliest year for American forces in Iraq since the invasion, with at least 896 soldiers killed, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.
The previous most lethal year for the American military since the US-led invasion of March 2003 was in 2004, when 846 soldiers died.
Since May, when 126 soldiers were killed, casualty figures have been falling month by month with the December toll set to be the lowest since February 2004, when 20 soldiers died in the least deadly month of the war.
The December toll stands at 21, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures, but the number could rise as the US military sometimes takes days to report deaths pending notification of next of kin.
The military reported that a soldier died of non-combat related injuries on Sunday, bringing the total number of American soldiers killed since the invasion to 3,901.
US commanders attribute the high casualty rate in May to the influx of an extra 28,500 troops on the ground as part of a "surge" ordered in February by US President George W. Bush.
Since then, they say, the strategy has paid off with the number of attacks across Iraq falling by 60 percent after peaking in June to levels not seen since before February 2006, when a wave of sectarian violence was unleashed by the bombing of a Shiite shrine in the city of Samarra.

American Soldier Deaths back on the rise in Baghdad

Mortars Strike Baghdad Iraqi PrisonBy ROBERT H. REID
BAGHDAD (AP) — Mortar shells crashed into an Iraqi prison at a major government complex Monday, landing in a cellblock and killing at least five inmates. Elsewhere, an explosive fire erupted in a storage tank at Baghdad's only oil refinery, sending smoke and flames high above the capital.
The U.S. military said an "industrial accident" caused the fire at the Dora refinery in Baghdad. But the chief Iraqi military spokesman, Brig. Qassim al-Moussawi, told The Associated Press that a rocket struck a storage tank, triggering the blaze.
The attack on the prison was part of an increase in violent incidents throughout the city over the past few days, which have included mortar or rocket fire on the U.S.-controlled Green Zone.
Also Monday, a suicide car bomber killed one U.S. soldier and wounded two others in Salahuddin province, a mostly Sunni area north of Baghdad, the military said.
The recent attacks are nowhere near the level or intensity of those earlier this year. Still, they show why the U.S. military is concerned about the fragility of the relative calm which took hold in Baghdad over the last two months.

Kurds become pawn for gas

By STEPHEN FARRELLPublished: December 9, 2007KIRKUK, Iraq — Even by the skewed standards of a country where millions are homeless or in exile, the squalor of the Kirkuk soccer stadium is a startling sight.
Michael Kamber for The New York TimesThe Kurdish authorities ordered people born in Kirkuk to move back there for a referendum on the city’s future. More than 2,000 of the displaced Kurds moved into the city’s soccer stadium.

There are no spectators, only 2,200 Kurdish squatters who have converted the dugouts, stands and parking lot into a refugee city of cinder-block hovels covered in Kurdish political graffiti, some for President Jalal Talabani’s Patriotic Union of Kurdistan.
