A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
T. F. Boggs writes Get Up Stand Up “The battle raging the past few months concerning free speech (i.e. Muhammad cartoons) has gotten me thinking about what things are worth fighting for. Should we battle Islamic extremism in the world today? Should we fight for freedom of speech? Should we fight for freedom to be spread across the world to places that are unaccustomed to it?”
American Citizen Soldier writes DEMIGODS AND GENERALS “A coterie of retired generals have in recent weeks spoken out against the continued employment of the Secretary of Defense. And just like the campus chanters and chattering classes they echo, these Grumpy Old Men have not even bothered to elaborate on their surface critiques.”
Chris of Chris’ Blog writes No creative title today.... “So. I've been getting an increasing number of emails stating "wow, you must be busy if you haven't written" and "I/We check your blog every day, and nothing. What's up?". This indicates several things....”
Midnight in Iraq writes A Day in my Life (Part 1) “Be advised, this was an adaptation of one of my first blog entries detailing a day in my life in a timeline format. This version is the original that I sent to the NYT for publication. The version that appeared in the Times had a few edits, including combining Part 1 and Part 2 into one post, removing my joke about trebuchets and Canada, and changing the title. While this will not be new information for those who followed my blog from the beginning, I hope some who have joined since then will find it entertaining. It also may be interesting for Frontlines readers to note what the Times determined “unnecessary” to print.”
Jen writes Entry for April 27, 2006 “well i have finally moved into what is called a "can" it is a connex looking bldg that i live in, i can not complain for there is air conditioning and a bed! Yes i said a bed. no more cot! i am sooo excited! i even get my pillows and my christmas sheets....hey they're flannel and soft!”
John writes sand storm “This photo was taken a couple of days ago on a day that saw us going back and forth between sandstorms and thunderstorms. While we do not see the massive wall of sand that you see out in the desert we do get this otherwordly look when we get sandstorms. It looks like something from a movie set on Mars.”
Justice Soldier writes Outside the Wire, Part One… “Well, as a back drop, let’s let everyone know my job over here. I am an infantryman, and for the past 15 years I have trained to defend our nation, and its incredible people, by force of arms. While I am not some super soldier like a green beret, I am indeed a “ground pounding” type of soldier who is willing to do what it takes to watch that flag fly atop your flag pole as the sun breaks the horizon each morning.”
Serving the People of Iraq writes NFNcM - Thank You America “There are several instances that show that many Iraqis appreciate the liberation that the United States is helping them achieve. Like usual, it takes a little weeding to get to the important stuff. Here are a couple of examples I have found from the non-conformist media (well, Fox News is fairly non-conformist).”
American Soldier writes A day in the life of an American Soldier. “This will be an ongoing story of a group of soldiers serving in Iraq. The names, places and at times the events will be modified to protect identity and OPSEC.”
Andi of Andi’s World writes Fran's Update “On Tuesday evening, I spoke with someone involved in the Fran O'Brien's battle. They are still holding out hope that an eleventh hour miracle will happen, and are working behind the scenes to come up with one. Speaking of working behind the scenes, someone unaffiliated with Fran's has something in the pipeline. It's rude, I realize, but I can't say anything further at the moment. I'll just say that if it comes together according to plan, the Hilton will have a larger PR problem on its hands than it does presently.”
Princess Cat writes Hilton Corp “I finally figured out what really bothers me so much about this whole Hilton/Fran O'Brien's thing. Sure, it irks me that Hilton Corp is coming off like lefty wingnuts that don't support the troops/war, but in the end ... that is their right by everything our nation stands for.”
Rhymes with Right writes Hey Leftists – This Is Suppression Of Dissent “Interestingly enough, we are unlikely to hear any words of condemnation from Neil Young or others who accuse President Bush of being a dictator, a Nazi, or of suppressing dissent in this country. But then again, why should we be surprised. They like real dictators like the tyrant in Havana. And so they don’t mind the use of tactics like beating up old women.”
