Come on, is anyone really surprised?

So the much touted "Memorandum of Understanding" that the so-called Gang of 14 concocted has already broken down with the Dems now blocking a vote on John Bolton's nomination as US Ambassador to the UN. Is anybody really surprised? When are the Republicans going to learn that you cannot trust the Dems. When are they going to starting acting like the majority party. There was a cloture vote yesterday that was 56-42, 4 votes shy of the 60 required to end debate and move to the final vote. Sen. Harry Reid actually said:
"We're not here to filibuster Bolton, we're here to get information on Bolton," Reid said.

I guess that they don't want to use the "F" word. They did reach an understanding a few days ago on filibusters, didn't they? So much for the new era of bipartisanship that Reid predicted. hey want more information? They guy has been in public service for over 20 years. He was confirmed by the Senate in 2001 as the Undersecretary Of State For Arms Control and International Security by a vote of 57-43, 50 Republicans and 7 Dems voted for him then. He was alright then he obviously has the votes now. Sen Bill Frist needs to step up and stop the madness now.

Obama spokesperson confirms NY Post article

Well, it sure sounds like she did ; In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal. “He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. “However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open,” Zebari reportedly said. … Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.” In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said...

What a load of crap!

Ok...for starters its called wolf control . The killing of wolves either via the air or the more traditional ways saves moose and caribou which is the intent. And also Alaskans rely on deer, moose, caribou and other wildlife for food . These dumb asses would rather have you believe that Palin is hanging out the side of the helicopter screaming in hysterical joy while she slaughters these poor defenseless wolves. And isn't that really the point anyway.
