A short recon at what’s out there that might draw your attention.
John at OPFOR writes Prepping the Battlespace “One of the lessons America, and the world, drew from the lightning campaigns of Gulf Wars I & II was the importance of battlesplace preparation. That is, the conditioning of the battlefield's environment prior to initiating full scale military operations. What we are witnessing in southern Lebanon is concurrent with actions designed to prep a battlefield for the insertion of ground forces. So far, Israel has relied on its dominance in sea and air forces to isolate Hezbollah, rather than focusing their brunt of their superior forces on actual enemy positions. By blockading the coast, neutralizing Beruit's airport, and damaging roads and bridges into and out of Lebanon, the IDF has cut off Hezbollah's supply routes by land, sea, and air, and blocked all lines of escape.” (read more)
Blackfive writes I question your patriotism “Over at Pundit Review on a post about their producing the Military.com's Editor's Desk Podcast this week, there's a commenter claiming that questioning one's patriotism is just a way to silence debate. It could easily be argued that removing the patriotism question from the table is really the way to silence debate. Six months ago, I wrote the following about military blogs and our role in this war (and, yes, I do question the patriotism of the New York Times when they MANIPULATE words to fit their own template rather than tell the truth) - read on:” (read more)
Sachi of Big Lizards writes The Word On the "Street" “For many years now, Moslem dictators have used the same old trick: whenever their domestic policies hit a wall, they turn around and point a finger at the nearest Jew. "It is not the time to squabble amongst Moslems. We need to unite against the Israeli aggression. We need to mobilize for freedom. We need to focus on defense." Never mind the economy is in a shambles due to the corruption, incompetence, and stupid policies of the Arab leadership. A quarter of their citizens unemployed and starving, bandits and police working hand in hand intimidating citizens to extort money and favors. That's not the issue; that’s not important. The urgent task is to defeat the Zionist Jews.” (read more)
Jeff Jacoby writing at Townhall writes The enemy is Iran “Opening a security conference in Tehran on July 8, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad exhorted the Islamic world to mobilize against Israel and "remove the Zionist regime." The nations of the region are growing furious, he said. "It will not be long before this intense fury will lead to a huge explosion." Four days later, Hezbollah terrorists staged a raid across Israel's northern border, kidnapping two Israeli soldiers and killing eight more.” (read more)
Bandit 36 writes Winning in Iraq - Introduction “People have many different motivations for making the claim that we're losing the war in Iraq. Based on my research, I can only conclude that a large majority of the people who make this claim do so for reasons other than honoring our country or our new ally, Iraq, and that, more importantly, this claim is not based on the truth. Let me be more direct. People who say that America is losing the war in Iraq are lying.” (read more)
Dadmanly writes The Axis Minus One “Events continue to unfold. Questions about motivations, strategic plans proliferate, even as the actors involved continue to play their parts. I remarked yesterday that Israel has declared itself, for all intents and purposes, in a state of war, although perhaps the only change represented by recent events is that this state of war is now more publicly visible and obvious. So I’m still asking today, who wins?” (read more)
John Hawkins of Right Wing News writes The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: Hang The Traitors Who Support Bush! “They've got another nifty thread going over at the Democratic Underground. It's called, "Poll question: Is supporting Bush tantamount to Treason?" Just to make it clear that this isn't hyperbole, that the person who started the thread means what he says, this picture (it's edited down a bit) was posted under the title.” (read more)
Robin of Chickenhawk Express writes GI Special - Another Terrorist Supporting Tool “I have been doing a great deal of research utilizing the AlBasrah.net website - better known as one of the biggest Terrorist Supporting Websites available. If you want to see what the "resistance" in Iraq is up to, Al-Basrah is the place to go. One of the features of Al-Basrah is the "GI Special". The GI Special is nothing more than propaganda for the anti-military factions to use to demoralize our soldiers and undermine the United States. What makes GI Special even more disgusting is that it is written by an American, Thomas Barton. Barton also runs Traveling Soldier - another anti-military propaganda site. So who is this Thomas Barton and why does he hate our military?” (read more)
Jay Tea of Wizbang writes A convenient treason “With the Valerie Plame story back on the front burner, thanks to the Wilsons' absurd lawsuit (as I've said before, their testimony under oath during discovery should be both vastly educational and entertaining), I've been doing some thinking about the underlying principles behind the whole mess. To hear their defenders speak, the public revelation that Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, had been a field agent for some time until her identity was exposed by the traitor Aldrich Ames, and since then had worked in the CIA headquarters for some years was a grave blow to our intelligence capabilities.” (read more)
Mohammed of Iraq the Model writes No more half-solutions. “In spite of what we are facing here every day I find myself, just like many others, so attached to following what's going on between Israel and Lebanon and that's mostly because of the close resemblance between the two cases. In both cases we see a weak government suffering to control a powerful militia that is challenging the will of the rest of the country and engaging in a proxy war making the people suffer the results of regional conflicts that in no way can benefit their country.” (read more)
Expose The Left has Williams Defends Hezbollah, Labels Kristol A War Monger (VIDEO) “On FOX News Sunday, Juan Williams tried to bag Bill Kristol as big “man” who wants “war, war, war” and “more war”. Well, as usual Juan was hosed down not just by the conservatives on the panel, but by liberal Mara Liasson, for saying Hezbollah is NOT a major world government:” (read more)
