Posted at 8:16am on Jul. 3, 2008 Fifteen FARC Hostages Freed
By BigGator5
Did FARC let them go? Was there a gun battle that killed many? Did the Colombian government give into the terrorist's demands?
I am happy to say that none of the above took place. In fact Juan Manuel Santos, Colombia's Defence Minister has hail the rescue as "an unprecedented operation. It will go down in history for its audaciousness and effectiveness."

Posted at 10:41am on Jun. 4, 2008 Conservatives vs Moderates -- Part Deux
By BigGator5
HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND GOT ALONG WITH MY POLITICAL BORTHERS AND SISTERS
The Republican Party is indeed at a crossroads. With Republicans siding with Democrats on an out-of-control farm bill (do I really need to link you the story?), it makes even me wonder if they still believe in fiscal conservatism. However instead of blaming corrupt leadership, conservatives blames all their problems on moderates...
And moderates are not helping.

By BigGator5
I thought I would switch gears here in this thread. Instead of talking about policies or people, I thought we can talk on something we might all agree on:

Or I wanted to forget. But what Obama had said still ate at the back of my mind. What kind of immigration violence could he be talking about?

Again while we watch the unfolding drama on both KY and OR Democratic Primary (which is still the best Democratic Primary EVER), another font on the War on Terror was slowly being won.
I speak of course, of Iraqi Troops taking control of Sadr City.
