Tribute coolourtroops.com Sept. 10. We received this email today from our very special new friend, 1st. Sgt. Jobe. We met him early on in our Cool project and he has been near and dear to our hearts and in our prayers. See more photos of him and read the story of how we met here. TRIBUTE PICTURE (click link) coolourtroops.com "How are you all doing? The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute to our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is by taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country." Semper Fi 1stSgt Dave Jobe

The US and its allies are lobbying China, Russia and South Korea to support the Proliferation Security Initiative Everybody wants to talk about belling the NK cat, but they don't want to come out and say they are doing it. They will let us do it. They really are not in a position to stop us from blockading NK. But they won't get out in front of it. Is China going to help behind the scenes? TWT. If they let NK move goods though Chinese ports, we could be stymied. But NK pretty well has to move it with their Merchant Marine. Not on Chinese or other Foreign shipping.

I actually found a Democrat who gets it.... Ed Koch: Bush Haters Should be 'Horsewhipped' newsmax.com Democratic Party elder statesman and former New York City Mayor Ed Koch said Thursday that he was outraged by some of the anti-Bush protesters he saw while on the way to Ground Zero yesterday to commemorate the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. "What bothered me was that as I came down the highway there were pickets and the sign that they carried said 'Bush Regime Engineered 9/11,'" Koch told nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity. "I want to tell you, I had the desire to go out and horsewhip these people," he complained," saying that "the idea that they would picket the site and blame the president for those casualties is an outrage." Koch also had some choice words for fellow Democrats who have attacked Bush over the war in Iraq. "Nobody wants [to see U.S.] casualties. But the fact that they were as minimal as this was miraculous," he contended, especially "when you had all the people like [Sen. Ted] Kennedy predicting thousands of body bags." Then, broadening his criticism to include other anti-war Democrats, Koch complained, "It's an outrage that they conduct themselves the way they are." The one-time top New York City Democrat then directed his fire toward the Democratic Party's presidential front-runner, telling Hannity, "I also consider Howard Dean to be McGovern II. I mean, that's the only way I can describe him." Koch said that the Democratic Party's left wing "hates not only the United States but it hates our ally, the state of Israel. And what Howard Dean is doing is appealing to that radical left." Last week Dean said that the U.S. should not "take sides" when Israel comes under attack by Palestinian terrorist factions.
