A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
Buck Sargent of American Citizen Soldier writes SHOOT THE MESSENGERS “What’s black and white and red all over? The blood-soaked headlines, the negative news reports and pessimistic press coverage sprints ahead at full gallop. Live from Iraq: it’s the Meme of the Month. Didn’t you know? The country is in the midst of a calamitous downward spiral into Civil War! (All things considered, it’s really not much of a war and yet it’s far from civil). Al Jazeera said so. Or was that CNN? Is there really even a difference anymore?”
Confederate Yankee writes Fact or Fiction? “In news related to the five FISA court judge’s testimony, competing articles today by Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times and Brian DeBose of the Washington Times paint radically different pictures of the judge's testimony today, with Lichtblau's article making it appear that the five judges were siding against the president, and DeBose stating that the judges said Bush's executive order was legal. Obviously, one is wrong, and possibly being deceptive. The "verdict" from the lawyers of Powerline:”
Paul J. Cella writing at RedState posts Analysis of HR 4437 “Inspired by Leon’s industrious work, I spent some time yesterday digging through HR 4437, the Sensenbrenner immigration bill. I was not surprised to discover that the great bulk of the rhetorical violence directed against it is baseless. Aside from a single provision, included only for cynical reasons, it is a rather modest piece of reform…”
Andi of Andi’s World writes Al-Jazeera Cares “Al-Jazeera is concerned about the mental health of our troops. Incidentally, Al-Jazeera's cited source, AfterDowningStreet.org, is comprised of the usual crackpots, including Code Pink, who I've had the misfortune of witnessing on many occasions. The column continues (even quoting milblogger Colby Buzzell) and reminds me why I'm so bothered by the feigning of concern by those who are clearly not supportive of our global efforts to stamp out terrorism, and certainly not supportive of our troops…”
John at ARGGHH!! writes Observations on Military Latrines... “Back in the day, when I was 13 and Dad was a battalion commander in Germany, I could keep an eye on battalion morale by reading the walls of the stalls in the Sheridan Kaserne (Augsburg) snack bar latrine (I also got my first porn from his troops who manned the gate to the Fryar Circle housing area and got into R Rated movies (woo-woo! How 'bout that Mrs. Robinson? The pasties on that dancer? Yowza!)) because the troops who worked the theater didn't care...”
CDR Salamander writes The Last Helicopter “Want to know what this is all about. Want to understand why many of us get so mad at the press and the modern-day copperheads? Think things will be easier without Bush? You need to read all of this…”
NOTR aka ROFASix writes Info War - The Other War in Iraq “Yesterday the SecDef commented on something I have written about numerous times. The on-going information war that is such a big part of the war on terrorists is not going well for the US. It is being waged in the Middle East and in the middle of the American homeland. Rumsfeld suggested that often times it seems the US is coming in second. He said to the War College audience Monday:”
Expose The Left has Sandoval Again Calls For Abolishing The Military (VIDEO) San Francisco Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval appeared on The O’Reilly Factor tonight to defend the far left’s attack on peaceful Christian protestors in the Bay area last weekend. O’Reilly nailed Sandoval for not condemning the far left because liberals like him are supposed to be tolerant of others. More proof that liberals are only for free speech when it applies to them.
