Jim Warren the chicago newspaper guy was on msnbc saying more or less that mccain is right and the dems are wrong. To paraphrase here, he said that there is a short term situation developing with fuel and prices that could be catastrophic. Before we can rely on alternate energy to solve the long term problem we need shorter term solutions that require drilling, building refineries and nuclear energy. The dems are against everyone and although folks in Florida might not want to see an oil rig, many americans are waking up to see the problem as less green and more immediately critical. Why are the dems against drilling, refineries, and nuke energy? Yes its the economy stupid for the next election but the economy and energy are tied together as one at this point. Obama needs to take a fresh look.

I've already read Obama's empty rhetoric. The price of gas is too high. Raising the price of gas with more taxes, destroy our food supply by subsidizing ethanol, and making everyone drive golf carts is not he answer. Would you like to tell me how you think Obama's policy is going to help Americans with their current problems due to the price of gasoline?

Charges dismissed in Haditha killings CHELSEA J. CARTER Tuesday, June 17, 2008 CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) A military judge has dismissed charges against a Marine officer accused of failing to investigate the killings of 24 Iraqis. Col. Steven Folsom dismissed charges Tuesday against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani after defense attorneys raised concerns that a four-star general overseeing the prosecution was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the November 2005 shootings by a Marine squad in Haditha. The charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled, but Folsom excluded Marine Forces Central Command from future involvement. Chessani was the highest-ranking officer implicated in the case.
