A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
Captain Ed of Captain’s Quarters writes Armitage The Plame Leaker? Maybe ... “Matt Drudge leaked a portion of an article appearing in the new Vanity Fair which quotes Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee as confirming that Richard Armitage, the right-hand man to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, was the first government official to leak Valerie Plame's status to the press. Armitage has been one of the prime suspects for those who, like Tom Maguire, have followed the case closely. However, Bradlee's own paper delivers quite a walkback in today's report from Jim VandeHei:”
Mohammed of Iraq The Model writes The situation as it looked today. “Security in Baghdad has drastically deteriorated recently and reached its latest spike with the multiple bombings of yesterday. Looking at the time pattern of violence escalations we can notice that spikes in attacks curve coincide with the sessions of Saddam's trial which indicates that followers of Saddam are still strong and active inside Baghdad and it seems that those are isolating themselves from the developments in the Iraqi scene even with regard to their politician friends and public base so to speak as the latter had changed their methods and switched largely to political means of opposition.”
Pam of Iraq War Today writes Media that Gets It? – KOA Radio “Steffan Tubbs of KOA Radio in Denver, Colorado, is embedded with troops in Iraq . Check out his dispatches and photos at the KOA Radio website. Tony, who passed along the tip (thanks, Tony!), says that Steffan's reporting on Iraq seemed, before his trip, to be a somewhat one-sided - reporting the bad, but not the good going on over there. Now that Steffan's over there, on the ground with our Heroes, he seems to be getting it.”
Charlie Munn of The Officer’s Club writes Archaeologists Find Ancient Israel Tunnels “Underground chambers and tunnels used during a Jewish revolt against the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago have been uncovered in northern Israel, archaeologists said Monday. The Jews laid in supplies and were preparing to hide from the Romans during their revolt in A.D. 66-70, the experts said. The pits, which are linked by short tunnels, would have served as a concealed subterranean home.”
Ralph Peters at Real Clear Politics writes Myths of Iraq “During a recent visit to Baghdad, I saw an enormous failure. On the part of our media. The reality in the streets, day after day, bore little resemblance to the sensational claims of civil war and disaster in the headlines.”
Cassandra of Villainous Company writes We've Come A Long Way, Baby...*Not* “...I have watched with considerable bemusement as women who decried the objectification of their own gender and the male preoccupation with sex "discover" the joys of copulation (for as they portray it, it seems little more than a physical act). As so it was that, when the time came to consider a fit topic for our first discussion at The Cotillion, I couldn't help but look around at modern culture: our obsession with larger breasts, vaginal rejuvenation, designer labia, hooking up and porn culture, and ask myself where the feminist revolution has taken us? Have we taken one giant step forward or two steps back?”
Wonder Woman at A North American Patriot writes The Truth According To Aljazeera.com “Born to Kill. Zionism is a form of Facism and Nazism which until very recently was classified as "Racist" by the United Nations. This classification was only overturned by pressure from United States at a UN conference in South Africa. Zionism represents the biggest threat to world peace today.”
The Gunn Nutt writes Pinko Permit Problems Persist at Walter Reed “What a difference a week makes! Temps in D.C. broke a record high set back in 1964 (can you say 'Global Warming'?). The springtime warmth brought out lots of patriots to welcome and cheer our beloved Troops. We had crowds on ALL FOUR CORNERS out in front of Walter Reed for the eighth week. Of course the nice weather brought some extra commie 'tards out from beneath the rocks as well. They were in for quite a surprise...”
Ace of Ace of Spades HQ writes Clooney Admits He's a Liberal For The Six Billionth Time “...Hey, I agree with him. The liberals who voted for the Iraq War did so precisely out of the cowardice he names. They never agreed with the war; they just didn't want people to say bad things about them, like "He's against going to war in Iraq.”
GayPatriotWest at Gay Patriot writes My Problem with Bruce Bartlett “… Bartlett is spot when he says President Bush has betrayed the Gipper’s legacy on fiscal conservatism. But, on many other issues, the president has stayed true to Ronald Reagan’s great vision for our nation. It’s too bad the Gipper’s successors can’t live up to his high ideals. But, then that great man set the bar pretty high.”
Expose The Left has Terry McAuliffe: We Left Tora Bora Too Early, But We Need To Leave Iraq ASAP (VIDEO) “On the 2pm Eastern hour of FOX News Live, former Democratic Chairman Terry McAuliffe claimed that President Bush took our troops out of Tora Bora too early which made us unable to capture Osama bin Laden. However, only a few moments later he said that we need to pull our troops out of Iraq. If McAuliffe was so sure that we would have captured bin Laden if we stayed in Tora Bora longer, then why would he want US troops to leave Iraq as soon as possible?”
Crazy Politico of Crazy Politico’s Rantings writes RETREAT!!! “Russ Feingold's Censure stunt yesterday made for interesting watching on CSPAN, but evidently didn't endear him to his fellow Democrats.As others have pointed out, Feingold is really pushing the censure issue not because he thinks it right, or because he thinks it would pass, but because he thinks it will give him some credibility with the Kosites who are the mouth of the party.”
