"When a truce takes effect, if it ever does, it is hard to evaluate how long it will last," he continued. "The IDF is ready for any development, but it is important to use the opportunity to bring quiet to [western Negev] communities and for the renewal of negotiations to free Gilad Schalit."

I'm sure all of my Brit friends have had a bad day if they've kept abreast at the news. No one I've talked to actually believed that Britain would actually sign the EU Treaty, but they have done it. The EU is becoming a country, slowly but surely; this is the latest step in depriving the citizens of the countries of Europe of their ability to govern their lands.Click for the rest of the storyFOREIGN Secretary David Miliband signed the hated EU treaty - hours before Prime Minister Gordon Brown arrived in Lisbon.Due to the PM's delayed arrival, Mr Miliband was the only foreign minister to attend the televised ceremony alone, amid a stream of prime ministers and presidents from the other 26 EU states.Mr Brown also later signed the document in a low key ceremony.The news will be a blow to the country's voters - The Sun's EU petition has received 28,000 votes saying no to the Treaty.Today's ceremony took place in the beautiful surroundings of Lisbon's 500-year-old Jeronimos Monas
Michael Vick, who originally claimed he "had no involvement in or knowledge of a dogfighting ring," surrendered to U.S. Marshals on Monday.Vick's attorney, Billy Martin, is trying to present his client in a false-positive light to the public by releasing statements that include such garbage like, "From the beginning, Mr. Vick has accepted responsibility for his actions, and his self-surrender further demonstrates that acceptance."Vick is scheduled to be sentenced on December 10th.University of Richmond Law Professor Ronald Bacigal told reporters that Vick's surrender wasn't so much about trying to influence the judge, but more related to timing so that he can get back to his football.I doubt that Vick will ever play football again, but who knows. After all, Ricky Williams was allowed to return to the NFL. I guess anything is possible.For the article on Vick's surrender, click here.
The news from the MSM has been mainly silent over the past few weeks; why? One thing, as pointed out by Pete Hegseth of “The Tank” at NRO: “As for what has not happened, there is a number that may or may not make headlines tomorrow: 62. This is the number of American combat deaths in September, and happens to be the lowest since August of last year. And while this number is still too high, it is nonetheless relevant. Despite a counter-insurgency strategy that makes U.S. troops more “vulnerable,” American deaths have dropped. American troops have moved off of large, secure bases and into small, security stations throughout the country – yet American deaths, after a spike from April to June, have begun to drop.” Hegseth will take the silence and perhaps most in favor of our actions in Iraq; I may even be happy to hear nothing. Nothing, though is silence and is easily forgotten when something other than silence comes out of the mouth of the MSM regarding Iraq and a

*Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has made the decision to plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges following a weekend of weighing options that would have the least affect on his football career.
"After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick asked that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding the charges pending against him," lead defense attorney Billy Martin said Monday in a statement.
"Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter." Michael is scheduled to plead guilty on Aug 27th. This means possible 1 year in jail and the end of his NFL career. (TO BE CONTINUED).

In a press release the Colorado Division of Real Estate announced that the Board has alleged that Pueblo appraiser James Esters overvalued eight Pueblo properties. The Board assessed a $24,000 fine. Mr. Esters agreed to permanently surrender his appraiser license and pay $7,500, the balance of the fine becoming due should he attempt to reapply for licensure. Overvaluing property contributes to the state’s rising foreclosure rate. “We will aggressively pursue appraisers who demonstrate a pattern of overvaluing properties,” said Erin Toll, Director of the Division of Real Estate. “We will be taking a particularly close look at valuations in Greeley and Pueblo, counties with extremely high foreclosure rates.” In the Final Stipulation (Order) for this case order the Board looked at 8 properties: 2681 Emilia Street, Pueblo 1230 Elm Street, Pueblo 1800 E. Evans Ave, Pueblo 1712 Quillian Avenue, Pueblo 1322 Bragdon Ave, Pueblo 2026 E Routt Street, Pueblo 17

Is this how Harry Reid supports the troops? By telling them they have lost, that they can’t win?
He continues to show no faith in our troops:
“I believe … that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week,” Reid told journalists.
Not even half of the additional troops that make up the surge have been deployed and already Harry Reid has surrendered. This is exactly what out enemy has been waiting to hear. He has been sitting there waiting for a major bombing to kill a large number of people so that he could use the occasion to proclaim defeat. Yesterday’s bombings gave him the event he had been salivating for.
“I believe the war at this stage can only be won diplomatically, politically and economically.”
Isn’t this the exact policy that was carried out throughout the ’80’s and ’90’s and that led to September 11th? Now we have a president with
