National: Women, Children Killed During a U.S. Raid; Palin is Smearing His Name, Obama Argues; Noted Black Chemist and Educator Dies
October 6th, 2008Women and children are killed during a U.S. raid. Eleven people – mostly women and children – were killed Sunday during a U.S. raid on a house in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul, The Associated Press reports. The deaths, which U.S. military officials blamed on al-Qaeda forces who used innocents as human shields, included five “terrorists,” three women and three children, AP reported. “This is just another tragic example of how al-Qaeda in Iraq hides behind innocent Iraqis,” U.S. military spokesman Rear Adm. Patrick Driscoll said. U.S. troops were blasted as they went into a house searching for a suspected insurgent, U.S. officials said in a statement. Once inside the home, the officials said, a man exploded his suicide vest, killing the 11 people, including a 7-year-old boy. No American lives were lost in the incident. But locals blamed the tragedy on U.S. troops disregard for Iraqi lives. “Most of the Mosul residents live in fear because of such raids conducted by U.S. forces, and even sometimes the Iraqi forces,” Thaier Ahmed, a 32-year-old teacher, told AP. “It is a horrible incident that has led to the killing of innocent people, including children.” Another Iraqi, 35-year-old Abu Tiba, told AP that “the blood of Iraqis is worth nothing to the U.S. Army.” The deaths could not have come at a worse time for the Bush administration, which has been pointing out that violence in Iraq is 80 percent lower than it was a year ago.
Palin is smearing his name, Obama argues. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah is merely trying to distract voters from the real issues confronting Americans by stating that he “pals around with terrorists,” Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Sunday. He called her comments “smears” and said that the economy and its effect on struggling workers are the issues that are paramount during this election season. But Palin wasn’t backing down. Throughout the weekend she repeated her charges, saying that Obama is buddies with Bill Ayers, a former member of the radical Weather Underground who acknowledged a role in several bombings, including one that killed a San Francisco policeman more than three decades ago. He and Obama have served on the same charity and live near each other in Chicago. Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was rabblerousing. “The comments are about an association that has been known but hasn’t been talked about,” Palin said in Long Beach, Calif. “I think it’s fair to talk about where Barack Obama kicked off his political career, in the guy’s living room.” Hours later, while speaking to an exuberant crowd in Omaha, Neb., Palin took it a step further. “In fact, Obama held one of his first meetings hoping to kick off his political career in Bill Ayers’ living room,” she said. Obama adviser David Axelrod described Palin’s claims about the Obama-Ayers association as exaggerated. And Obama, speaking at a rally in North Carolina said that McCain and his campaign “are gambling that he can distract you with smears rather than talk to you about substance.”
Noted Black chemist and educator dies. Dr. Joseph Gayles Jr., a noted chemist and mathematician who helped create the Morehouse School of Medicine, died of heart failure last week at his home in Atlanta. He was 71. “Dr. Gayles played a key role,” Dr. Louis Sullivan, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Sullivan, a founding dean and president of Morehouse School of Medicine, said that Gayles was a “great team player and very intense and committed” to the plan to start the new medical school for minorities, according to the newspaper. Raised in Birmingham, Ala., Gayles earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry and mathematics from Dillard University in New Orleans. He then earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from Brown University, the Journal-Constitution reports. Before going to Morehouse to teach, he worked at the IBM research lab for three years. Between 1977 and 1983, he served as president of Talladega College in Alabama. He returned to Morehouse School of Medicine, where he was the vice president of institutional development until 1996. He is survived by a daughter, Monica Dorsey of Fairburn; a son, Jonathan Gayles of Atlanta; and two grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta. Murray Brothers Funeral Home is handling arrangements.

Enough is Enought. Palin and McCain are doing everything they can now. Palin has gone to far now. She tries to defame Baracak’s character, but, I just don’t see it happenneing.
Barack and Michelle, we are with ou all the way.
g bush one word sorry person i could write 2 thousand woods and never say enought one word the worse person ever inter the White House let me say it one more time sorry sorry sorry sorry person
Yeah….you see there are pulling out all the race cards now….don’t think I want another C class graduate and a racist dummy running the country, lets stick to the subject (the economy) not another person’s affiliation you have no proof or idea of….open your eyes people change is on the way either for the GOOD or the BAD, and I choose the GOOD….Obama Biden 08
mc shame and ms plain and simpleminded will lose just because they
are evil and deceitfully evilier. the world does’nt need either of them right now
we have too much work to do. no more nonsense! enough is enough
the world is headed for disaster and they want to play games? they do
not have to worry about thier homessss or thier bank accounts ever in
this life. this is why they do not care about the issues most of us face
today no matter how you slice it or dice it neither could ever truley
understand what poor people go through on a daily basis. only another
simpleminded person would vote for either of them.
Just like Palin to try her games and gimmicks and try to use her political power to distort the issues and the truth. If she had something good to say about what her and her running mate were gonna do with the economy she wouldn’t have to talk about nonsense!!! This is ridiculous. They are counting on us not knowing the facts to distort what is really going on in the world. hear no evil… This woman is the woman that tried to use her influence and power as governor to vindicate her sister by getting her brother-in-law fired! Do we really wanna give this woman a chance to destroy our country!?!?!? HELL NO!
I agree jus sayin:
Palin tryed that bogus shout out bullsh…. and classified her self as a struggling middleclass, which is all LIES, trying to obtain black votes; stereotypical bullcrap once again. She’s so uneducated and unprofessional that’’s it’s just plain sad and a disgrace to ALL WOMEN: Palin and MCcain WILL NOT help the middleclass, ONLY the RICH. They both NEVER struggled a day in their life, nor worked hard, most of their succees was handed to them on a silver plater:
How can someone relate with the average working person and make such a promise to help them if they NEVER struggled and WILL NOT struggle ever: against ever thing we need right now, and so focused on war, oil, and providing money, grants, and funds for other countries instead of HOME :AMERICA:
People better WAKE UP and get over this prejustice BULLSHI……….AND VOTE THE RIGHT AND RESPONSIBLE MAN IN: OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA:
OBAMA 08: THE SMART AND ONLY POSITIVE WAY TO GO:
I find it almost amusing that this Palin woman can talk about Obama’s ‘association’ with Mr. Ayers but she wouldn’t DARE bring up the fact (nor anwser questions about it), he husband’s association AND inclusion in a RADICAL successionist group…not to mention HER pastor and CHURCH and all else…hypocritical…
Obama, don’t worry about Palin smearing your name, she is just showing how “small minded” she is. She has nothing else to talk about when it comes to the issues at hand, like the economy, Iraq, Wall Street, etc. Remember, NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER. Look at the States that have you in the lead, they are the MAIN States. Keep lookin up because you will be blessed!!!!!
Remember one always put another down to make themselves look and feel bigger or better , get a life. Does Palin have any more experience than Obama ? I don’t think so , seems to me the playing field is even. Macain & Biden – experience – Obama & Palin – less experience, but all had to start from point A to get to where they are now. Republicans , same ole, same ole . Democrats , fresh and new. President wise that is. NO MORE BUSHANOMICS : Macain !!!!!!
WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT!! YOU KNOW WHAT MCCAIN YOU NEED TO GO RETIRE AND HAVE A GOOD LIFE…….PALIN YOU NEED TO HOME AND TEACH YOUR CHILDREN NOT TO BE LIKE YOU TO SAY ANYTHING TO GET WHAT THEY WANT EVEN IF IT MEANS LYING DESPERATE… DESPERATE…DESPERATE PACK YOUR BAGS AN LEAVE ITS OOOOOVERRR IT OVER.
palin is a airhead she will do whatever she told.i feel sorry for us if her or mccain get in office whoever voting for them need to wake up before it to late .GO A OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!
I have forgotten who was running for the office is it Mc Cain or his V.P. Palin. Since she has been in the run with Mc Cain I have heard more from her then Mc Cain. She reminds me of P. Bush but in a skirt. How is she going to be able to help get this country in order when she has stuffing going on at home that she could not prevent. I recieved an email with pic with people from Alaska that is going for Obama because they believe that Palin did not do a good job there and if it is true how in the world she going to help run this country; ONCE AGAIN. One more thing! Wasn’t Geroge Bush jr a governer before he became president and look what he did to the country. Do we need to go through this again?
Mccain and Palin are so full of negative energy its pathetic. When I look at Mccain I see racism and Palin dragging along just for attention. Lets face it most whites DON’T want a black man in charge of them so they bash at him with the negativity to make him look bad. Have you noticed during every debate McCain couldn’t even look Obama in his eyes. It clearly means that he could care less what he had to say. Palin is a fake suppose to be well educated and she’s on TV giving shot-outs. How low is that? Cindy McCain on TV drag racing its ok because she will never be first lady anyway.(drug addict)HA!ha!
VOTE FOR OBAMA! I AM!
