A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
Robert of Life in Iraq – As a US Army Sniper writes Post 7, The Battle for Samarra- “Brian, Walter, and I were two days into the major offensive on Samarra. We were attached to an infantry platoon that had occupied a house with a platoon of Iraqi soldiers, which was directly on the phase line their platoon was responsible for securing…”
MP at Fast Bunnies (In Iraq) writes And now a personal note “I have hit the wall. Emotionally, I am at the point where at no less than 15 given moments during the workday I am teetering on the verge of throwing a laptop across the room. I need a break.”
Chris of Chris’ Blog (Deployed to Afghanistan) writes Where the wild things are..... “You know, I try to come up with creative titles for my blogs (as you may notice). And since this one is particularly late (I was averaging one a week at least), but the past week and a half have been absolutely crazy. Plus I had to work up the motivation (I put a lot of creative thought into these for all of you out there). So, this one will be done, and done well. And I'm sure it will be the longest blog yet (most information x most time + boredom = long blog. That's a rough equation, anyways).”
Blackfive posts Former War Protester Promoted by Marine Colonel “Here's someone that you should know - an immigrant, former war protester turned Hospital Corpsman with two tours in Iraq finished...
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Andras T.S. Eder carried protest signs denouncing the Operation Desert Shield in 1991. Fifteen years later, he was promoted for his performance in combat.”
American Soldier (Home from Iraq on Medical Leave) writes; Piss poor coverage of the War! “I have been doing some catch up on the news. I will say that the media here in the United States is piss poor. Why is it that the MSM’s report Baghdad as being the war? Shit doesn’t even really go on there. There are far worse places in Iraq that have story’s that would blow one’s mind if they knew. Where I was at, I hardly EVER saw reporters there. Heck we didn’t even get USO people there. Simply put, they were scared to be there. At least in Baghdad you could be behind 2 miles of heavily fortified protection.”
Captain Ed writes Saddam Targeted American Assets For Terrorism “One of the most contentious issues of the Iraq War is whether the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein served as a distraction from the war on terror or as an integral part of the overall war itself. This is no mere academic question; the answer not only impacts the political future of those who supported and opposed the invasion, but also has real implications for the American resolve to stay in Iraq to see the effort through to completion.”
Dafydd writes When Civil War Is Too Darn Civil “I had thoughts about the supposed "civil war" in Iraq, but I decided not to bother posting them. I thought nobody would be interested, because -- I assumed -- the claim was so tortuous that it would just be a passing fad.
Boy howdy, was I wrong about that. Here's former Democratic nominee John Kerry, that man who would have been president (but for three hundred thousand votes), tooting the "civil war" horn in his op-ed piece in today's New York Times:”
John Noonan at The Officer’s Club writes South Park Takes on the Mohammed Cartoons
“I just finished watching an episode of South Park that I'm certain will be generating its share of buzz tomorrow.
SP creators Matt Parker and Trey Stone gave their audience alot to chew on, so I'm going to recap from memory and TiVo best I can.”
Michelle Malkin writes NASCAR SMACKS DOWN NBC “I spoke this afternoon with Ramsey Poston, managing director of corporate communications at NASCAR. He's on his way down to Texas for the NASCAR race this weekend, and he responded to NBC Dateline's undercover Muslim stings, which I first reported on yesterday morning.
"This is outrageous for a news organization with the reputation of NBC to stoop to the level of attempting to create news instead of reporting it. Any legitimate journalist should be ashamed."”
Freedom Folks write Mexitude “Right on the heels of the flag ban at Skyline H.S. in Longmont, Colorado, reading this story (with video) from nearby Westminster really hurt this morning: The immigration debate and demonstrations caused a middle school in Adams County to change their dress code.
Students at Shaw Heights Middle School are no longer allowed to wear anything that's patriotic, including camouflage pants, because they have become a political symbol for a version of patriotism…”
Andi of Andi’s World writes Westboro Baptist Church Set to Protest at Walter Reed Today “This post, originally published on April 5, will stay on top today. Scroll down for fresh content. I've just walked in the door from a brief vacation, and have been met with some bad news. Mr. Trooprally, FReeper extraordinaire, has just informed me that the sickos of the Westboro Baptist Church (Fred Phelps and his crew) plan to protest at Walter Reed tomorrow.”
Stop The ACLU writes ACLU vs Boy Scout Case Heads To Court Of Appeals “The ACLU has put out a press release stating how they got two religious leaders to ask the court to agree with them.
Meanwhile the ACLU have no problem with a Muslim Youth Camp being built on government leased property.”
Dadmanly (Home from Iraq) writes Kerry Weighs In “Mudville Gazette helpfully links to John Kerry’s Op-Ed in the New York Times Wednesday, Two Deadlines and an Exit. I say helpfully, because I think it’s important to gather the informed opinion of those knowledgeable in counter-terrorism and military affairs as we review and possibly revise US foreign policy.”
Expose the Left has Chris Matthews Laughs In Howard Dean’s Face, Literally (VIDEO)
“This evening, it was Chris Matthews’ turn to double over in laughter. Now granted, Matthews had a better excuse – his guest was the daffy Howard Dean. Matthews managed to keep a straight face when Dean first claimed that the Democrats “want to bring this country back together again so everybody is respected,” and then proceeded to lash out at every Republican within arm’s reach.”
Expose the Left also has McKinney Lawyer: Tom DeLay Is a “Rich White Boy” (VIDEO) “Rep. Cynthia McKinney’s lawyer James Myart appeared on FOX News’ Hannity & Colmes this evening to defend his client who is accused of hitting a Capitol Police Officer. Retiring Congressman Tom DeLay was on the segment before Myart and said that McKinney pulls the race card out every time she is in trouble.”
