Gen. David H. Petraeus possibly getting a Promotion; He has most certainly earned it

The New York Time is reporting,

The Pentagon is considering Gen. David H. Petraeus for the top NATO
command later this year, a move that would give the general, the top American
commander in Iraq, a high-level post during the next administration but that has raised concerns about the practice of rotating war commanders.

A senior Pentagon official said that it was weighing “a next assignment for
Petraeus” and that the NATO post was a possibility. “He deserves one and that
has also always been a highly prestigious position,” the official said. “So he
is a candidate for that job, but there have been no final decisions and nothing
on the timing.”
General Petraeus has earned a promotion. He has successfully implemented the surge and has made tremendous progress in Iraq. Then instead of being given the appreciation he deserved, the far left took an ad out labeling him a traitor. None the less, he showed up and served admirably. He would serve as an excellent Commander of NATO. I am proud that such great American Patriots exist and are willing to stand up to those who want to blame America for everything and label our Heroes as traitors.

Victory for our military families, Church that pickets soldiers funerals with signs that say "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" found liable


Today a Federal Jury found the Westboro Baptist church liable for invasion of privacy and intent to inflict emotional distress for picketing a soldiers funeral while carrying signs that said "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and "God hates Fags." The awarded the family of the soldier who brought suit 2.9 Million in compensatory damages and are beginning deliberations on punitive damages. Earlier in the day the church and its founders had been protesting outside the courthouse. From breitbart.com,
"Earlier, church members staged a demonstration outside the federal courthouse, which is located on a busy thoroughfare a few blocks west of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, while passing motorists honked and shouted insults.
Church founder Fred Phelps held a sign reading "God is your enemy," while his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper stood on an American flag while carrying a sign that read "God hates fag enablers." Members of the group sang "God Hates America,"' to the tune of "God Bless America."

I am glad to see this scary religious group being punished for these outrageous actions. This group is an insult to religious groups and Americans and it appears they are getting their just punishment.
