A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
t.f.boggs writes I have poster board, can I come too? “…On the third anniversary of the Iraq invasion a lot of people chose to voice their opinion about the ongoing “war” in Iraq. People took to the streets in different cities across the world to gain media attention to their cause while at the same time chanting catchy anti-war slogans. They held up signs pleading for the war to end, Bush to be impeached, Mumia to be freed, and Palestinians to finally be allowed to return to their “rightful” home. The day turned out to be an all-encompassing rally cry for all causes extreme left…”
Mohammed at Iraq The Model writes Politics in Iraq, a Mexican series! “There's a great deal of mysteriousness shrouding the government-formation talks between the political blocs in a way that makes these already lengthy talks and meetings seem to be taking forever in the eyes of the average Iraqi citizen.
"All they care about is getting more power for their parties" or "No one trusts nobody" is the most common remarks people here use whenever words like government or parties are spoken.”
Charlie Munn writing at The Officers’ Club writes Worst-Case Scenario “The Korean War's decisive point came when the Chinese entered. Could this war's decisive point be at hand?
The following is a decision brief delivered by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Holy Supreme War Council, chaired by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Hoseini KHAMENEI….”
Michelle Malkin writes THE HECKLER'S VETO [UPDATED] “Much talk in the blogosphere today about the refusal of Borders and Waldenbooks to carry this month's issue of Free Inquiry because it reprints Jyllands-Posten's cartoons of Mohammed. Not much talk, though, about another magazine's brave decision not only to publish the cartoons, but to put the most provocative one right on its cover.

ROFASix writes Broken Thinking & the Defense Budget “Broken Thinking and the Defense Budget is written by a guy who is a friend of the military. He doesn't worry about the "toys" the military is developing or producing. His focus is instead on our taking care of our troops by providing for adequate force structure.
His message is simple. Before 9/11 the JCS told Congress that troops and their families were being worn down by high OPTEMPOs.”
Blonde Sagacity writes Where's the ACLU? “This is the kind of case I want to see the ACLU start taking if they want to convince many of us that they aren't pursuing an anti-Christian agenda..."The United States Supreme Court may hear a case involving a school district's censorship of an art poster that a kindergartener drew for a school assignment -- a drawing that was partly suppressed by school officials because it contained the child's depiction of Jesus.”
Jason of Countercolumn writes Operation Swarmer: What didn't happen “Here's something a commenter wrote in response to this piece that I want to elevate to the main page, because it deserves a closer discussion:
‘How many insurgent attacks do you think that amount of ordnance represents? Doesn't look like a lot to me. 34 rifles with less than 100 rounds each, wow, color me unimpressed.’”
Austin Bay writes Remembering Saddam's Slow War “The latest quip accusation that the United States "rushed to war" with Saddam's Iraq conveniently ignores 12 years of combat, terror and crime.
Perhaps The Slow War -- Saddam's war against the U.N.-mandated sanctions and inspections regimen that halted Operation Desert Storm -- has slipped from public historical memory. It shouldn't, for The Slow War is the long, violent bridge connecting Desert Storm to Operation Iraqi Freedom.”
Martin at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy writes French hokey-pokey “The outrageous law proposed by the French government enabling employers to hire AND fire workers for the first two years of their career, goes to Monsieur President Al Chiraq today…”
