Sniffer dog that went missing in action after Afghan battle is discovered safe and sound after 14 MONTHS lost in the desert
A sniffer dog that went missing in action after a battle in Afghanistan has been found safe and well after more than a year in the desert. Sabi the black Labrador was with a joint Australian-Afghan army patrol when it was ambushed by Taliban militants in September 2008.
Nine soldiers were wounded in the ensuing gun battle, which earned one Australian SAS trooper the country's highest bravery award.But there was no sign of the bomb-sniffing dog after the battle in a remote area of Uruzgan province. Sabi's handlers spent months scouring the desert looking for the four-year-old animal, but to no avail.

LETS TALK ABOUT: Fall of the Wall
Twenty years ago today the Berlin Wall which physically separated East and West Germany and symbolically separated Communist and Free countries was officially declared open. The reaction was tremendous and the emotions of that day are still remembered worldwide.
Unfortunately, young people are not being taught the toll that was taken on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in Communist countries. Many young people, even those in Germany, do not even know about the fall of the Berlin Wall, much less why people worldwide celebrated and cried with joy on November 9, 1989.
Young people don't understand that the reason people in countries still controlled by communists didn't cry with joy was because their leaders did not let them hear about it. The few that did hear the news, cried in hope... the hope that one day they too might be free to tear down the symbols of their oppression.
It is a shame that our president has chosen not to give this anniversary the important recognition it deserves. Could it be as Michelle Malkin surmises that there is nothing in it for his Chicago cronies. Or perhaps it would make his Marxist buddies uneasy. Whatever the reason, our 'The World Loves Me' president is seems to be continuing his lovers spat with the world. But we will remember and honor the fall of the Wall and the domino affect it had on communism.
