Go visit the Command Post for all your war news. I contribute occasionally when I find something that has not already been posted.
This Is Genius
Anti-War Myths
It’s interesting how much was clarified in the first hours of the war. On Thursday, the Palestine Liberation Front released a statement announcing the identity of the first verified casualty: PLF “1st Lieutenant” Ahmed Walid Raguib al-Baz was killed in Baghdad, “while confronting the treacherous US air bombardment on Iraq”.
The PLF is the terrorist group that, among other triumphs, hijacked the Achille Lauro back in the 1980s and pushed Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound American Jew, into the Mediterranean.
What was a PLF terrorist doing attending a war council of Saddam’s inner circle in Baghdad? Well, I leave that to all the experts who’ve assured us that Baghdad has no ties to terror groups.
That was just the first of several myths to fall in the opening shots. If Hans Blix and Jacques Chirac are really interested in continuing with inspections, some of those missiles the Iraqis insisted they no longer have are now available for inspection in the sand on the Kuwaiti side of the border.
Why We Will Win
British Army Doctor, Lt. Col. Lesley Lintonbon, from East Devon, England, explains the activities of the Intensive Care Unit of the 33 Field Hospital near Um Al Aish, Kuwait, 80 km north of Kuwait City, Monday, March 10, 2003.
F— Off, Frenchie
Jacques Chirac has clearly taken leave of his senses:
French President Jacques Chirac said Friday that France would not go along with a new United Nations resolution allowing the United States and Britain to administer postwar Iraq.
The French president said at a European Union summit he would “not accept” a resolution that “would legitimize the military intervention [and] would give the belligerents the powers to administer Iraq.”
“That would justify the war after the event,” Chirac told reporters.
He probably wants Mugabe or TotalFinaElf to administer Iraq.
War Coverage
Here is where I am going for info during the war:
As well as the usual mainstream media sources.
Close To Home
The Marines have crossed into Iraq, and my secretary has an older brother in the 1st Marine Division. Her younger brother was on the 82nd Airborne Mission in Afghanistan last night.
Good luck and Godspeed.
