I left for the beach on May 18 and returned on May 28. During that period of a little over a week, we lost 59 soldiers in Iraq, including at least 8 on Memorial Day: At least eight U.S. soldiers were killed in restive Diyala province north of Baghdad on Memorial Day, two of the […]
I will be out of town until Memorial Day, taking a much needed vacation. I will be doing very limited posting during that time (from the beach).
Just now being reported on MSNBC that Senate Democrats will be seeking this vote. Hopefully this goes through and doesn’t get a typical GOP filibuster.
