We will not waver in our commitment

michael kors handbags

 As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is

only sustained because there are people who are willing to

fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down

their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the

character of our people and the service of those both

civilian and military who represent us around the globe. No

acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great

nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the

values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans

who represent the very best of the United States of America.

We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is

done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will

be done.

Pretty weak reed.

We also learned that Mitt Romney can’t shake the stink he

generated by jumping on the attacks in Benghazi and Cairo

before the smoke, literally, had cleared.

“While we were still dealing with our diplomats being

threatened, Governor Romney put out a press release, trying

to make political points, and that’s not how a commander-in

-chief operates,” Obama snarled. “You don’t turn national

security into a political issue — certainly not right when

it’s happening.”

Romney, in turn, accused Obama with putting partisan politics

above national security. “On the day following the

assassination of the United States ambassador, the first time

that’s happened since 1979 — when we have four Americans

killed there, when apparently we didn’t know what happened,

that the President, the day after that happened, flies to Las

Vegas for a political fund-raiser, then the next day to

Colorado for another event, other political event,” he

countered.

It was in Colorado, two days after the attack, that Obama

more explicitly linked it to terrorism:

Kejriwal's "weak

michael kors handbags

This was evident when the party deputed top leaders Arun
Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Prakash
Javdekar to defend Gadkari at a joint press conference.
The senior party leaders rubbished IAC by saying that after
Wednesday's press conference, the civil society group had
lost credibility by trying to make "a mountain out of what
was not even a molehill" as Jaitley put it.
When asked whether BJP would also ignore the revelations
against Robert Vadra because they came from the same Kejriwal
and his IAC, Jaitley said, "Each case will have to be seen in
its own light."
However, Kejriwal's "weak" case against Gadkari gave the BJP
an opportunity to paint itself as a "clean party" in
comparison to Congress.
The leaders also used the occasion to consolidate behind
Gadkari as party leader with Swaraj declaring right in the
beginning of the press conference, "We are happy that our
national president is not involved in any scam. The party is
fully with him."
She added, "Lot of hype was created about the press
conference as if some big bomb is being exploded... He
(Kejriwal) tried his best to dig out some scam but could not
find anything. We will fight politically. We won't go for
defamation suit."
Jaitley said since Kejriwal was forming a political party, he
was looking to hog the "limelight".

The bloody battlefields

Laments one prominent McCain supporter: "I think the campaign would be well-served if they had more of them involved. But I wonder if the organization could withstand the personality differences and the insecurities that would come along with that on both sides. The only way it would happen is if McCain brought them together and forced them to work together and took control of it, and that's not necessarily his management style." After all, the hardest thing about being a father figure is having to choose among your children.Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War

Dreadful as the past century has been in its carnage, Americans have--with some notable exceptions--been removed from the direct encounters. The bloody battlefields, bombed-out cities, and teeming detention camps lay elsewhere--indeed, almost everywhere else. And although Americans have suffered their share of war-related casualties, on a world scale those casualties seem to pale beside the body counts of Europeans during their more than thirty years of twentieth-century warfare, of Soviets and Chinese during their internal and external struggles of more than half a century, of Armenians at the hands of the Turks, Jews at the hands of the Nazis, Bosnians at the hands of the Serbs, and, most recently, of different ethnic and religious groups of Africans at the hands of each other.
