Weekend Web Recon

In spinning around cyberspace today, these little gems surfaced as things you might be interested in reading.

Greyhawk offers a final analysis of the "Scott Thomas" debacle. We've covered the background of this story and Greyhawk's summation seems a fitting capstone. (Forewarned: An overabundance of the word a-hole, but still a good summation).

El Capitan, blogging from the sandbox, relates a recent incident and asks relevant questions as our involvement in Iraq is every-evolving.

The JAG Hunter features a trailer for a documentary film which examines the Pendleton 8. Aside from the trailer's repeated references to the Marines and Navy Corpsman as "soldiers" (a personal pet peeve of mine), it looks like it might contain interesting information. Some of the most comprehensive background information on this case can be found in the archives at Euphoric Reality.

Michelle Malkin continues to follow the tenuous negotiations between thugs in Afghanistan who are holding missionaries hostage. The "hardline militia members" (in my book, bloodthirsty terrorists) have already killed the group's pastor. His body, riddled with bullets wounds to his head, chest and stomach, was found, dumped, on what would have been his 42nd birthday. The pastor leaves behind a wife and 9-year-old daughter.

Michael Totten's latest post provides more, well-rounded coverage from someone actually there.

Have camera? Expect to see this guy. New York's Democratic Senator, who never met a camera he didn't like, Chuck Schumer is vowing to block any more Supreme Court nominees from the Bush Administration because he feels they were "duped" into confirming Roberts and Alito. Maybe Schumer should check his more than ample media archives (you KNOW he has an entire library of himself) for reminders of the circus and obstacles he actually created for these two.

Caroline Glick's recent article in the Jerusalem Post is an interesting take on the initiatives in Iran and the current state of that regime.

Tanker Brothers provide some good news that you might not otherwise learn about Iraqi children and how they are spending recent days.

As follow-up to her post on completely worthless, whiny and FAT military spouses, Andi brings us military moms and dads who fit the same description.

And, I've seen this on the blogs for the past week or so, but if you haven't, you need to see the latest from George S. Patton--he's alive and well and living on You Tube.
