The best thing that could have happened for John McCain’s outreach to evangelicals has happened –the Democrats have settled on their most radical nominee in their history, and no evangelical who cares about abortion or same sex marriage or porn or religious freedom can be indifferent to the result of the fall vote.

Senator Obama’s expressed admiration for Justice Ginsburg contrasts sharply with the admiration Senator McCain has expressed for Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. With six justices aged 68 or older, the stakes for the future of the Supreme Court could not be higher. Evangelicals might have preferred a different Republican nominee and Senator McCain would be well served by a running mate with solid conservative credentials, but only MSMers scornful of the intelligence and judgment of evangelicals will conclude that more than a handful will sit out the election because they didn’t get their first choice as the nominee.

Shiite cleric warns of popular uprising against Iraq-U.S long term agreement

Karbala – Voices of Iraq
Monday , 09 /06 /2008 Time 10:17:06
Karbala, Jun8, (VOI)-A renowned Iraqi Shiite cleric on Sunday warned that a popular uprising may erupt if Iraq signs the long-term agreement with the U.S .
The proposed security agreement would cover the status of U.S troops in Iraq, control of Iraqi airspace and immunity for security contractors after United Nations resolution governing U.S forces in Iraq expires in December.
Speaking to reporters and clerics in Karbala, grand ayatollah Mohammed Taqqi al-Mudaressi said “the proposed security agreement between Iraq and the U.S lacks the overall and in-depth vision of Iraq’s general affairs”.
The cleric expected “the agreement would fail if the details of the deal remained as they are in the current draft”, adding “ signing the agreement came while Iraq is deprived of sovereignty under chapter seven of (the Security Council charter).
He branded the agreement as “ a sort of US blackmailimg and a sword strangling Iraqis”.
“Infringing Iraq’s sovereignty would not be in the U.S interests as a superpower because the agreement humiliates people’s dignity, pushing them to uprise and to start a new cycle of violence”, he pointed out.
Iraq’s independence is still limited by the legacy of UN sanctions and restrictions imposed on Iraq since Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in the 1990s. Iraq has been considered a threat to international security and stability under Chapter Seven of the UN charter.
Influential Shiite clerics in Iraq and neighbouring Iran oppose the deal and have called it a move against their religion.
They have vowed to stage protests to force the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to roll back the deal which is expected to be concluded by the end of July.
A declaration of principles was signed between U.S. President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in December 2007. The declaration was planned to be ratified on July 31, 2008 to be effective as of January 1, 2009.
The agreement governs the U.S. forces’ presence in Iraq after the year 2008. This presence currently relies on a mandate by the UN, renewed annually upon the request of the Iraqi government.
The agreement will not valid unless it commands a national consensus and be approved by the Iraqi parliament and the presidency board.
Al-Mudaressi is a Karbala-based grand ayatollah and key cleric of religious Shiite authority that has a strong sway in Iraq.
Karbala, the second hold Shiite city after Najaf, lies 110 km south-west Baghdad

D,
We are NEVER going to have Iraq as an ally as long as we continue to occupy their land. If you want to grasp at straws in order to come to a different conclusion, knock yourself out.

C-SPAN Callers Post Hillary Clinton Endorsement Speech pt.1

I think the Democratic party has not done enough to diffuse the idea the primary wasn’t fair. Some callers insist that caucuses are not legitimate.

One woman says Obama is not ready now but might be in 4 years. I wonder what he is expected to learn in 4 years. Maybe he can go to President school.

Another woman thinks if Clinton supporters are expected to support Obama, then Obama supporters should back Clinton for VP.

What’s that all about?

(how many times have I said that here?)

Junglecat,
Note I said “turning into an ally.”

And when the word of a tribal leader- whose movement is widely recognized as one of the turning points in Iraq-is placed against the word of someone who hasn’t seen the country in 2 years…yeah, I go with the tribal leader.

It would be intellectually stupid not to.

I know you are smarter than that. Stop being intellectually dishonest.
