Topic: Iraq War
This in from Powerline

Our correspondent Gene Allen reports that just a few minutes ago, an unidentified man telephoned the Yellow Rose Gift Shop in Crawford, Texas and said, "Your shop is going up in smoke, you better get out now." Law enforcement is on the scene.
Gene describes the Yellow Rose as "a pro-Bush gift shop with a Ten Commandments monument out front. It is located across the street from the Coffee Station, down the street from the Crawford Peace House."
I don't suppose any of those peace-loving folks would have anything to do with a bomb threat.
UPDATE: Gene has more:
Last night there was a tiff between the anti-war protesters and Bush supporters in Crawford. The owner of the Yellow Rose stepped in to break it up. Law enforcement arrested one anti-war protester and he reportedly remains in jail. Police are investigating whether today's threat is connected to last night's incident. My source will be sending digital photos and I hope my 1gb mailbox is sufficient. She also took video and will burn a DVD to send me.
We'll pass on any new developments tomorrow.

You know over the years I have met pacifists, Quakers, Amish and the like. Now THEY are real nice folks, Peaceful, Serene, not a bad word to say about or to anyone.
Some of these Anti-War Protesters? The PEACE(?) Activists? Come on they are not promoting Peace.
They are promoting the OTHER SIDE.
It is simple. If someone is really promoting Peace you can see it in the way they live their lives and treat other people.
They don't call in bomb threats.
They don't boo and call an Invalided Vet a Baby Killer.
Veteran gets rude welcome on Bainbridge
They don't call for a Memorial Service for the 1000th GI to die in Iraq and then harass his mother when she shows up.
Drake's mother was "harassed and yelled at, booed and hissed, told her son died for nothing."
Drake's mother reportedly left the event in tears.
The family attended the vigil because they thought it was meant to honor U.S. casualties. The event was organized by the Dallas Peace Center, which opposes the war.
You can know a tree by its fruits. I want you to just listen to the fruits of the Anti-War movement.
I read on one blog, the statement that they were the embodiment of American Patriotism.
Odd that used to be "I regret that I have but one life to give for me country."
Now for the Radical Left Anti-War Peace movement it has been changed into
"This country is not worth dying for.”
Just think if we had had more Patriots like that during the last 50 years, we TOO could have had GULAGS.
Patriots? Excuse me while I try to wash a foul taste out of my mouth.
Yeah they are not Patriots, they are just supporting the other side, or they are dumb enough to be used by those who are.
