2007-11-05 21:07 The Iraq war has become a disaster that we have chosen to forget
By Madeleine Bunting (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): "You think you are innocent, but you're not," said the British Muslim suicide bomber in the Channel 4 television drama Britz last week. As the compelling actor Manjinder Virk recited her suicide statement to camera, she went on: thousands of women and children are dying every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet the governments responsible have been returned to power.Her assertion sticks in the mind because it goes straight to the heart of how we ch …

So says Colonel Richard Simcock, Commander of USMC Regimental Combat Team 6. Team Badger supported RCT 6 from their arrival in theater in January 2007 till when we rotated out in September.

2007-09-30 23:37 A Woman in Her Element.
By now I think everyone has heard the story of Tanya Rider, a woman who had a horrible car crash after working a shift at the grocery store (actually Fred Meyer is more than that, but I digress), and ended up 20 feet down in a ravine, trapped inside her Honda Element which had rolled onto it's side for 8 days while police first did nothing, and then relentlessly grilled her husband - the guy who insisted that somebody give a damn. Up to speed Good. I suppose it's nice to know my truck could help …

2007-09-22 17:06 Black Hearts, Blackwater
So at the beginning of the week Blackwater was told they could no longer operate in Iraq by the sovereign government of Iraq. Put those last 4 words in quotes if you like, but that's what they are supposed to be. By Tuesday, Jill of Brilliant at Breakfast pointed out that the Iraqi government was stepping up to do the right thing - insure the safety and security of their citizens - but openly wondered "[D]oes anyone actually believe that Nouri al-Maliki will be able to keep Blackwater out of Ira …

2007-09-18 01:29 Mercenaries Out of Iraq!
On Sunday, a State Department convoy was attacked in Baghdad; the Blackwater contractors providing security killed at least eight civilians. According to a witness, the gunfire "lasted for 20 minutes between gunmen and the convoy people who were foreigners and dressed in civilian clothes." Now the Iraqi government has revoked Blackwater's license and has opened a criminal investigation. The company has an army of 20,000 worldwide and its own private air force. Four of its contractors were lynche …

Oh brother. Ava and I are now working the public account. The threats upset others (including Jess who was really worried for C.I.) but Ava and I tend to laugh at the nut cases together. There's an idiot who's whining to C.I. that if you're going to quote someone, you should quote in full. I'll use Medea Benjamin as an example because she's in today's snapshot. (Although the whiner was complaining about a non-snapshot entry.) C.I. quotes some of Medea's op-ed. C.I. doesn't quote the entire thing …

2007-08-30 01:58 The ones who deserve sympathy & the one who doesn't
And now there's a concerted effort to blame much of the mess on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who apparently richly deserves his failing grades and may soon find himself dismissed from class. But the chorus of disapproval has become so intense that one wonders: Is this perhaps our exit strategy Blame the disaster on the Iraqis and then quit; we gave them every chance, we gave them lives and money and time, we gave them advice and pep talks and freedom, and they have been too petty, too vengefu …

2007-08-29 15:38 Wearing the Black Flag (3)
The story began here. Latest chapter here. ***** Speaking of the Petraeus report.... It seems that those who routinely feed from the various toilets along the left wing information sewer are currently being instructed how to feel about said upcoming report. (Not think, mind you, but feel. Feel might not be exactly the right word either, but it's closer to it than thinking, which is an altogether different process.) It's a pretty slick trick - once again begging the question "are the people who w …

2007-08-28 15:32 Diversity is strength for new Iraqi Army; OTB
28 Aug 07 By Sgt. Andy Hurt 13th MEU .NEAR KARMAK, Iraq - The strength of any democracy is the equal representation of various cultural interests; thus, the power of a military force can be measured by diversity as well. American culture takes pride in boasting equal opportunity in public service roles. Iraqi culture mirrors this attitude, and the warriors of the Iraqi Army s 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 1st Division currently conducting a force integration with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battali …

2007-08-28 02:26 Bully Boy funds terrorism
That's Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Bully Boy Funds Terrorists" above, it went up this morning.

Someone only installs new glass when they think it won't …

I really don't know where to begin with this anti-Lancet piece by Michael Fumento. Should I start with the way Fumento describes Kane's paper as "so complex" that it "may cause your head to explode" while being utterly certain that Kane has demolished the Lancet study Or with his assertion that I've been ignoring criticism of the Lancet study Or with the way he quote mines me Or that after again and again arguing that Lancet was wrong because they included Falluja when they should have left it o …

Lt. Col. William F. Mullen who commands the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment (currently at Forward Operating Base Reaper on the South side of Fallujah), gives us an exclusive look into Operation Alljah and what has been accomplished in Fallujah.

2007-08-22 02:18 Carly Simon
Someone e-mailed a music piece by John Boston. "Attn: Kat." I have no idea why. Here's an excerpt: In 1972, Carly Simon sang her berhit, "You're so Vain." It was one of those angry gynosongs aimed at empowering women everywhere by venting frustration toward us lunkhead guys. "Gynosongs" John Boston may be funny, I didn't find him so, but he doesn't know what he's talking about. That sort of term refers to music, not lyrics. And the music goes in circle with lightness.
