Sec. Def. Gates Announces the End of Stop Loss

A welcome announcement from Sec. Gates today. I am sure this got covered by all the news from AIG. Stop Loss was one of the worse things that Bush ever did to the military. They aren't stopping it overnight, unfortunately, but at least they are going to stop it. They are also laying out the plans more in detail for the honoring of the fallen.

Well, we know he didn't get arrested. However George Bush did have some protests made to his speech and appearance in Calgary today. One thing you have to remembe, Calgary is one of the most conservative areas of Canada, so if he was going to be welcome anywhere in Canada, it would be there. It is pretty obvious from the video, he really wasn't welcome, at least not in the public.

I really wonder what would have happened, would the SS have stepped in and stopped whoever would have been charged with arresting Bush, if someone in the Canadian government had decided to really step up and do what they probably should have?? What it seems like we here in the USA don't seem to have to guts to?? Just wondering.
