Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon talks in support of slot machines at Sky Harbor and Libertarian Presidential Candidate Bob Barr explains why he is the right choice for President.
War over Iraq: McCain insists he has been right the whole time. He was right about the war and right about the surge. It was Obama who has been wrong. Obama, meanwhile, spent yesterday in Iraq. He got a tour of Baghdad via helicopter with Gen. David Petraeus and received support from the Iraqi government for troop withdrawals. However, no timetable was established. Quick note: The only reason Iraqis are talking about troop withdrawals is because of the surge’s success. Without it, the country is still in turmoil. Obama has been touting his timetable plan for a year and it certainly wasn’t his plan that caused the turnaround in Iraq.
ABC News notes Obama wasn’t wearing body armor in photos released from Baghdad yesterday.
Michael Yon writes a great piece on Iraq. He says we have won, read more here.

Al Gore said America should get off of fossil fuels in ten years last week. Ironically and sadly, Gore showed up to the speech in two Lincoln Town Cars and a full-size SUV. Do what I say, not what I do.
A San Francisco woman wants the city to change it’s sanctuary city policy. Her family was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant during a road rage incident. This illegal immigrant had previous arrests, but the Feds were not contacted because of the city’s “refuge” policy.
64% of ‘The Dark Knight’ movie goers plan on seeing the movie again.
Britain isn’t going to be sending the dogs after all criminals. Now, they have to watch out for allergies and religion. Can you imagine the cops asking a criminal while chasing him; are you allergic to dogs and what is your religion?



Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, can you please give John “PRESCOTT BUSH” McCain a minute of your time. Mr. McCain is a little upset that the rest of the world isn’t buying into his next four years of REPUBLICAN GOP CULTURE OF IRRESPONSIBILITY, because it’s OBAMA’s fault that we are in the mess that we are in.
So what if he hasn’t supported the troops but will use their name in vain everytime he claims he is the “COMMANDER GUY” Americans need. So what if he voted in 2003 against an amendment that would have given soldiers 322 million for Safety Equipment for the Forces in Iraq. No on National Guard Equipment in Iraq, like helmets, tents, bullet-proof and tactical vests. SO WHAT if he voted against increasing the amount available for medical veterans by 650 million all the while giving showing up to make sure Big Poppy and his Lichtenstien War Profiteers their tax credits.
So what if he voted against increasing Veterans medical services in March of 2006, and of course, he never even showed up to vote for any resolution that would bring home YOUR SON, DAUGHTER, MOTHER, SISTER, BROTHER, AND NEIGHBOR in June of 2006. So what if he voted against 20 million for Department of Veterans Affairs health care facilities. So what if he was one of 13 Senators to vote against $430 million for Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Services for outpatient care and treat veterans.
Please give John McCain some press that he is booohoooing for in September 2007 Webb Amendment calling for “ADEQUATE” time between deployments.
John “GRAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMSTANDING” McCain is feeling a little “psychological” and “mental” today, as he isn;t getting the press that he so deserves.
Call Steven Betts and give him some press on his last Federal Land Swap deal relating to the San Pedro River and the Yavapai Mountains.
Call Vickie Iseman, and get the real story. Get the real story about those 20,000 long night midnight flights for a MEMO.
Can someone please give him the Press that he deserves relating to his Public Financing, his 4 million dollar loan he received all the while Pandering to the great half-listners of the world that he was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BROKE LIVE ON NATIONAL TELEVISION in August of 2007.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, can we please give Cindy McCain some Press that her and John “PRESCOTT BUSH” McCain’s “SCHEDULE III” FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. Instead of giving them the pass they so do not deserve. He wants someone to be “honest” for him, so can you please give him the platform that he needs to expose himself both illegally, immorally, and unethically as the man he is.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, can you find one thing that John McCain has done for the Great State of Arizona? He isn’t suffering that “Lack of Light” you say Obama does.
My father died, a 26 year Veteran at the VA Hospital, the same day he voted against increasing Veterans Medical Services. So give him the press that he needs so he can go home and practice his next “PRESCOTT” Bush Speech from Phil Gramms Lichtenstien “PSYCHOLOGICAL” AND “MENTAL” porch in America.
Oh Please Great Oz Ankarlo, please give this 72 year old joke the AZSCAM Platform he so deserves. Maybe you can get Rick Renzi and J.D. Hayworth, to come on the show to “attest” to his greatness also.
Mrs. Bologna should sue San Francisco. They protect a MS-13 gang member to loose 3 residents. I’ve had 2 family members killed by illegals, I know her pain.
I’m sorry to hear that Vicki, thats very tragic and may GOD be with you and help guide you through your pain. Forgiveness is human, pain is just pain. No person can speak of the pain you have, but spiritual counseling, friends, family can help you get through it. If you remove the word illegal; then they would just be another criminal with a criminalist mind who careless about human life.
Darrell…I’m a real fan but listening to you this morning (7/22) on the way to work gave me pause re: your personal, mocking attacks on Barry (Yes, Barry is his college nickname) Obama being “The Messiah”. Bad form I must say since you rarely if ever resort to the Rush/Bill-O school of condesending, fear mongering right wing journalism on the air. Oh well I guess nobody’s perfect and even you can slip every now and then.
But what really bothered me was your constant harping on “Obama scares me” over this issue or “Obama worries me” over that statement etc. etc. You started to sound - well - like that wussy McCain being afraid of everything and anything Obama talks about.
Darrell, your overworking the neocon “fear” thing a bit much for cheap ratings. In fact your starting to sound like that touchy-feely girly man Glenn Beck!
Please, don’t resort to sounding like all the other talking head “flamers”, whiners and hate mongers to get ratings - you honestly don’t need to.
“Cowboy up” and keep it real man - unless of course you really “feel” that Obama is the Muslim boogy man and your “afraid” he’s gonna “cut and run” from Iraq, diss our troops and replace the Bible with the Koran. If that’s the case then I’ll be forced to tune my radio dial to NPR…Mick in Mesa
Have to say thanks for the concern. God and the bible are the best guide. With that I know that there HIS rules I can’t ignore nor can I violate the rules of the governments that we live under. As a human I love the man that shot my loved one but his crime was senseless, illegal and the fault of a careless government that should be protecting all it’s citizens. They know the crime and drugs that is flowing in unprotected borders and give minimal attention. So here I am a casualty.
