You think its doing, the organization . Well, the organization brought in a lot of money this year. I think that it had a lot of reasons, one, the economy is improving, two, the marriage issue was a big deal. Prop 8, this is the home where all that started.

Copper said is unfair and possibly devoted to maybe some self interest in trying to get San Francisco

Once again, an american president is weighing military options in iraq, this time to try to preserve a democracy created at the cost of thousands of american lives and billions of american tax dollars. Islamic extremists have seized large parts of iraq. Theyre getting closer to baghdad this evening, and the government there is pleading with president obama for help. Today, the president responded. We will not be sending u. S. Troops back into combat in iraq, but i have asked my National Security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support Iraq Security forces, and ill be reviewing those options in the days ahead. Pelley hes confronting a war between two branches of islam, the sunnis and the shia. The democratically elected Iraqi Government, backed by the u.
