ANOTHER Bush never lied to us opinion piece.

Key graph:

This may sound like ancient history, but it matters. After Sept. 11, President Bush did not want to risk allowing Hussein, who had twice invaded neighboring nations, murdered more than 1 million Iraqis and stood in violation of 16 U.N. Security Council resolutions, to remain in possession of what he believed were stocks of chemical and biological warheads and a nuclear weapons program. By glossing over this history, the Democrats’ lies-led-to-war narrative provides false comfort in a world of significant dangers.

You don’t say.

Al Gore will endorse Barack Obama tonight in Detroit.

With Bill and Hillary out of the way would Gore consider being Vice President again?

Doubtful…..

In a policy change, John McCain now says states should be allowed to permit oil drilling off of their shores.

He said that in the coming weeks, he would be focusing on “America’s energy crisis” – the country’s dependence on foreign oil. Tomorrow he will call for the lifting of “the federal moratorium on states that choose to permit exploration.”

“We must embark on a national mission to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil… exploration is a step toward the longer-term goal.” The candidate repeated his advocacy of a federal gas tax holiday.

Asked about the offshore drilling, McCain responded, “Right now there’s a moratorium, and they have to be lifted. I’m not dictating to the states that they drill for oil. I’m saying the moratorium should be lifted so states can choose that option if they want to.” He added that the situation might require “additional incentives… in terms of tangible financial rewards” to states that permit drilling. He said he didn’t have a particular position at this point on an appropriate distance from the coast for offshore drilling.

But, what about ANWR?

Campaign Carl Cameron: Is lifting moratoria a way of addressing conservative irritation with your position
on ANWR?

McCain: “I believe ANWR is a pristine area… but I also believe lifting the moratorium on offshore drilling for oil and natural gas is a very high priority.”

Not so much…….

John McCain MUST change his position on oil exploration. IT is a national security issue and his thinking like the Democrat’s and Obama’s is anachronistic.

America would NOT be in the mess it is in regarding dependence on foreign oil if there had been REAL leadership over the past few decades.

A harbinger of Hillary Clinton as the Vice Presidential nominee or an in your face “SLAP?”

The Obama campaign is about to make its first big hire out of the campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign manager until she was ousted in a staff shake up in February, will join Mr. Obama’s campaign as the chief of staff to the vice presidential candidate – whoever he (or she) will be, campaign officials said.

Ms. Doyle will take the position before Mr. Obama announces his choice for a running-mate – he has not said when that will be. Mrs. Clinton and Ms. Doyle have a long friendship, and Ms. Doyle has long been one of her closest aides, until she was forced out. Could that mean – tea-leaf reading time – that Mr. Obama is really considering Mrs. Clinton for the No. 2 position, and wants to have an ally of her in place to ease the way? Perhaps.

Or perhaps not. More likely, the Obama campaign was looking for a high-profile spot to put Ms. Doyle, given her previous position, and most of the major roles in Mr. Obama’s campaign are filled.

Flap says Obama will NEVER name Hillary as Vice President. So, read into the appointment anyway you want.

Flap says a SLAP.

Flap understands there will be GOP led counter-protests to Hannah-Beth Jackson’s sponsored protests prior to Tony Srickland’s fundraiser with Mitt Romney tomorrow night.

Will there be an Elephant on Donkey takin’ it to the streets?

Apparently so……..

Isn’t it obvious that Obama is avoiding a Town Hall with McCain. Who will watch a debate on the 4th of July?

Not even Flap.
