The outer bands of Hurricane Dolly are starting to slam into the coast of Texas. The center of the storm is expected to make landfall by mid-day. Winds top out at 85 miles per hour, but the biggest concern is the all the rain associated with the storm. Officials are worried about flooding and levees bursting. Senator Barack Obama's overseas trip brought him to Jerusalem and then the West Bank this morning. The Illinois senator laid a wreath at Israel's Holocaust Memorial -- then met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. From the Middle East, Obama will travel to Europe. Senator John McCain continues to claim Barack Obama is wrong about the Iraq war. McCain tells C-B-S the troop surge helped the Sunni revolt succeed against al-Qaida. But the Obama campaign points out that Sunni uprising started before the troop buildup. And there is finally good news at the pump. Triple 'A' reports the price for regular unleaded gas has dipped to four oh four a gallon across the country. That is down a penny from yesterday -- and nearly a dime from the all-time high.___ ___, The Associated Press with AP NewsMinute.
