Pakistan army says airstrikes kill 30 militants

The Palestinian community in Iraq - many of whose members have feared for their safety since Saddam Hussein�s ouster - is gaining more access to health care with a new medical clinic in eastern Baghdad.
The private clinic opened Nov. 17 with the help of embedded provincial construction team members and soldiers with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, according to a news release issued by Multi-National Division-Baghdad.
Thousands of Palestinians fled to Iraq when Jewish forces took control of Haifa in 1948. Saddam, eager to boost his credentials in the Arab world, reportedly gave them financial support and other favors.
After Saddam was toppled, many Palestinians were forced out of their housing and became afraid to travel outside their enclave to receive medical treatment because of their ethnicity and because they're Sunni. The new government is predominantly Shiite, and some Shiites are resentful of the special status the Palestinians had under Saddam. Other Palestinians fled to refugee camps near Syria.
He is also right about oil exploration so we can become energy independant. He is also right about family values and having a strong military. He gave a tax cut that my family really needed. Obama will do none of the above!
