HH: I’m joined now by satellite phone from Baghdad by intrepid reporter Michael Yon. He’s actually in Baquba. Michael, welcome back to the Hugh Hewitt Show, always a pleasure to speak with you. How goes the fighting on the ground?
MY: Well, it’s really slowed down here in Baquba, Hugh. I was just in the TOC or the headquarters about fifteen minutes ago before I came on the show, and they were like the Maytag repairmen here. I mean, Baquba has just…you know, it was a very serious fight when it started, Operation Arrowhead Ripper on the 19th of June, I came in with them, but it quickly abated. The people have just turned against al Qaeda here. And so Baquba is really, the big fight now is to get the food distribution working again, which it already is. You know, they’ve got that going. And now, they’re working on fuel, because the fuel relates to electricity and water pumping. So really, they’re working on more civic things now.

Why arn't women allowed to join the SEALs? I mean if there are women willing to put their life out on the line for their country they should be allowed to do, women should at least be able to try out. Are we even close to being able to join the seals?

My teenage daughter was caught shoplifting a $10 lipstick from a Ride Aid in California. I went to pick her up from the store and was asked to sign a paper in order to release her to me. Now, I received a letter from Rite Aid's law firm telling me to send them $261 to settle their claim. They stated that if I don't send the money they will bring civil action unto me. Does anybody have any advice? Should I send the money or should I wait and see if they bring civil action? I just don't think that it is at all fair to pay all that money for a simple lipstick. I do understand that my daughter did something wrong and I did punish her but why should I send the money to these lawyers. Please help!

John McCain's campaign is losing two veteran Republican strategists in Iowa and will report a seven-figure debt for the second quarter in a row, back-to-back blows to a presidential bid still reeling from a major staff shake-up earlier this week.
"As much as I like Senator McCain, it's not a team I'm willing to stay involved with any longer," Failor said.
In more bad news for McCain, a co-chair of his Florida campaign — state Rep. Bob Allen — was arrested Wednesday after offering to perform oral sex for $20 on an undercover male police officer, authorities said. Allen, 48, was seen coming in and out of a restroom three times at a park in Titusville, Fla., said police Lt. Todd Hutchinson. He then approached an undercover officer and was arrested.
Is this the end for the man who refuses to leave Bush's side?
