How Are We Doing In Iraq?/Presidential Primary

I came across an interesting article yesterday at military.com. It said that commanders in Iraq are downgrading the amount of armor that Marines have to wear while on patrol. Why? Because there's been such a drastic decline in violence and attacks! Wait! Was that on the nightly news? Has the troop surge been working? Is Iraq closer to normality than before? Who would know? We do know that Hillary is leading in the polls. We know that Britney didn't show up to her court appointment. So why don't we know what's really going on where are mid-east interests lie? I think when the truth really comes out and the mainstream media has to fess up, the American people are gonna be pretty hacked off that they were duped for all these years.

Down heah in FL, we vote for the Republican candidate tomorrow. I'm wavering between Huckabee and Romney. Huckabee came to our church yesterday, not to speak, but just to be prayed over. He did say a few words, but was quoting scripture and looked like a really humble, God-fearing man. I believe he may be the one to lead in these times we find ourselves in. Romney's Mormon beliefs leave a bad taste in my mouth, as well as I'm not convinced of his social conservatism. I just pray that the right man wins down heah in the deep south.
