WASH—Thursday, July 26, 2007— U.S. diplomats have struck a deal with the world’s foremost sponsor of terrorism to team together and try to stabilize Iraq. By doing so they have sent a message to the world-terrorism pays.

U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker said the recent meeting with his Iranian counterpart resulted in the U.S. accepting an Iranian proposal to set up a cooperation committee on the security of Iraq-but not before Crocker gave a piece of his mind over Iran’s behavior to Iranian Ambassador Hassan Kazemi Qomi. Crocker says the committee, which will include Iraqi officials, is expected to focus on fighting al Qaeda in Iraq, securing Iraq’s borders, and controlling violent militia.

Odessa—July 20 — White House correspondent and author William Koenig, a Republican, discussed his plans for his presidential exploratory committee at the Presidential Museum and Leadership Library at 10:30 am, Friday, July 20.

Koenig, a 22 year resident of Dallas before moving his news organization to Washington in 2001, shared his 12-Point presidential platform.

“This is a crossroads election with so much riding for our country,” says Koenig.  “The American people want a candidate that has a plan to unify the nation on issues of national, financial and personal security, and to address federal government accountability.  

Koenig announced the establishment of a presidential exploratory committee, a move that allows him to raise money and travel the country in support of a potential national candidacy for 2008.
