From Prince Harry Withdrawn From Afghanistan - New York Times

The Defense Ministry announced Friday that Prince Harry, the third in line to the British throne, would have to come home from Afghanistan because it was too risky for him to stay there. Skip to next paragraphThe prince, 23, has been in Helmand Province with the British Army since December with the knowledge of most of the British news media, who agreed to keep the news secret for security reasons. Details of his deployment became widely known only when they were reported by the Drudge Report on Thursday and the British media decided that the agreement was off.
This is crazy that they would let the guy go in the first place I mean he is the direct heir to the throne and queen Elizabeth is getting pretty old so they should be making sure he is staying protected. But I bet this sux for him because he probably loves it over there and likes being free for the first time in his life but he has got to be physced because soon he will be the king of England which has its perks

From Turkey Withdraws Troops From Iraq - New York Times
Turkey’s military announced it had withdrawn all of its troops from northern Iraq by Friday morning, bringing an eight-day ground offensive against Kurdish guerrillas to a close, just one day after Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates warned Turkey to pull out its troops. Skip to next paragraphEven so, reports differed on the extent of the withdrawal, with an American military official in Iraq and a representative for the Kurdish fighters saying some troops were still in the country.
This is good because those stupid turks are making one of the only peaceful parts of iraq in to a mess and its about time they pulled their troops out I mean they didn’t even need to be there really in the first place. I also think it is cool that the us has the power to convince some other country to remove its troops because it seems like everybody wants the us out of their business but we don’t listen.

From Democratic intensity showing up at the polls - CNN.com
It is a slow but steady trickle all day long at the Hamilton County Board of Elections: The Ohio presidential primary is Tuesday, but turnout is already smashing records.In the 2000 presidential primary campaign, 10,371 absentee ballots were requested. Four years later, there were 9,600 requests. And this year More than 40,000 -- just in the Cincinnati area, part of an unprecedented early and absentee voting pattern across the state. It is in part due to aggressive pushes by both Democratic campaigns. Some Barack Obama campaign ads end with information about early voting, and to visit his Cincinnati campaign headquarters is to see an effort both to get voters to cast their ballots early and on a call-and-rides list for next Tuesday.
That a crazy amount of voters I mean forty thousand absentee ballots I mean that’s just a ridiculous amount. Espically compared to the numbers of past elections its not exactly a huge percentage but the growth percentage is also quite extraordinary. It’s a good sign but lets hope that the rest of the us can follow in ohio’s footsteps

From McCain's citizenship called into question - Nightly News with Brian Williams- msnbc.com
Jon Mccain is trying to avoid questions about whether he is qualified under the Constitution to be president. But many legal scholars and government lawyers say it's a serious question with no clear answer. The problem arises from a phrase in the Constitution setting out who is eligible to be president. Article II, which also specifies that a person must be at least 35 years old, says "No person except a natural born Citizen" can be president. Sen. McCain is undoubtedly a citizen. He was born on Aug. 29, 1936, in the Panama Canal Zone, and Congress has specifically provided that anyone born there of U.S. parents, as he was, is a citizen. the general rule is that anyone born of U.S. parents outside the United States is a citizen.
This is so dumb I mean haven’t these people ever read the constitution I mean it clearly says that a citizen is two thing law of the blood and law of the soil which means that if they are born on us soil which military bases qualify as American soil. And the other is law of the blood which means that if your parents are citizens of the us then you are also citizens of the us so I don’t see the big deal. they are just trying to give the old guy some bad publicity.
