Umm, yea. So, it's like,  I am Jan Brewer, and I am Jan Brewer.... Look at all the things I've done for Arizona...... um, hmmm, yea... I um, ...... I want you to know that I am Jan Brewer, and also remember that I am Jan Brewer....... How 'bout them Phoenix Suns? You think it's gonna rain soon?

Umm, Jan Duh Brewer

Well that wasn't exactly what Jan Brewer said in the opening statement of  the Arizona Governor Debate, but it might have worked better. Telling the audience that her name is Jan Brewer over and over again, would have given more info than the words Mrs. Brewer used.

After hearing her introduction, Jan Brewer pulled out her prepared statement, and forgot how to read. When introduced to give her opening statement, Brewer said;

"Thank you all for watching us tonight. I have ah............done.........so much, and I just can't believe that we have change EVERYTHING since I became your governor some 600 days..... We have done everything that we could possibly do...................................(laughs)......................................We have done everything for Arizona."

There was no custom made flight-suit worn, no Navy S-3B Viking jet on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, and no banner unfurled behind the president reading, “Mission Accomplished." No, this time around, 2,679 days after the original "Mission Accomplished" statement made by former president George Bush, the new president, Barack Obama sat behind a desk in the White House with a few family pictures seen behind him, and proclaimed that the combat mission in Iraq is finally and officially over.

President Obama with Troops

Today, August 31st, 2010, President Obama brought an end to the invasion of Iraq that began on March 20th, 2003, saying;

"I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country."

The president went on to admit that removing combat troops does not mean Iraq is finally free of violence. He said that "extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals."

The President also detailed the new mission in Iraq, stating that "a transitional force of U.S. troops will remain in Iraq with a different mission: advising and assisting Iraq’s Security Forces; supporting Iraqi troops in targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our civilians."

President Obama also thanked former President George W. Bush for his support of our troops, love for his country and his committment to our nation's security. The President also pointed out the fact that he was not in favor of this war, saying "it’s well known that he and I disagreed about the war from its outset."

He then outlined the cost of the war, stating;

On September 11^th, 2010, America as a nation will unfortunately be taken to a new low, and this phase of the march to the bottom will be led by a Pastor Terry Jones. Pastor Jones has organized what he calls, “International Burn a Qur’an Day.” The Qur’an, which is to Muslims what The Bible is to Christians, will be burned publicly, and videos of the burning broadcast to the world for all to see.

Pastor Terry Jones

Terry Jones, pastor the Dove World Outreach Center is planning an “outreach” mission like no other. It’s a mission that’s sure to do one of two things:

1.     The vision of their guiding document being engulfed in flames will somehow convince Muslims that the religion, beliefs including the Sharia Law they’ve abide by for generations, was wrong; or

2.     The vision of their guiding document being engulfed in flames will somehow enraged these Muslims even more, and foster a level of hatred for Americans that quite frankly, haven’t been seen yet.

Pastor Terry Jones and his congregation are betting on the first of the two. In an interview with Chris Mathews, Jones was asked what he expects to accomplish with this public burning of the Muslim’s holy book. His response was;

“We wanna send a very clear message to them, to Muslims, that if they’re in America, ah, they are free here to worship but they must honor and respect our Constitution. We wanna send a message that we do not want Sharia Law or Sharia courts. That is what our international Burn a Qur’an day is about.”

In another interview posted by Hement Mehta for the website Friendly Atheist, Pastor Terry Jones was asked if he thinks his Qur’an burning experiment will convert Muslims to Christianity. He replied;
