Brothers reunite for combat reenlistment

nobody@vox.com(threehourtour) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:43:04 +0000

AT-TAQADDUM, Iraq (June 17, 2008) – The Iraqi desert seems an unlikely and unwelcoming spot for a family reunion – a far cry from the picturesque, beachside barbecue California’s central coast would have offered – but for two brothers deployed to Iraq, there couldn’t be a more suitable...

Iraq or the Economy?

nobody@vox.com(gavinovz) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:47:51 +0000

What is the importance of the war in Iraq relative to other current issues? This is a question I am often asked, especially as Americans continue to become increasingly aware that something is very wrong with the economy.

Tariq Ali

nobody@vox.com(DollarMan) — Tue, 27 May 2008 02:29:59 +0000

Pakistan is in the throes of a new crisis: daily battles on the Afghan border, the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the farcical and grotesque succession ceremony in Sind. Tariq Ali has been visiting Pakistan regularly and writing for the London Review of Books. He is at work on The Duel: Pakistan on the Flightpath of American Power to be published by Scribner later this year. more news

Chapter VIII (con't) – Living On Stolen Time

nobody@vox.com(DollarMan) — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:37:43 +0000

MEMORIALIZE THIS..... It is admirable that some people in what's left of the progressive media are trying to make sure the public is aware of the Winter Soldier hearings on Capitol Hill, wherever the Hell that is. I can't listen to the testimony, because the gruesome details of how and when these...

What Happened on 9-11? Scott Ritter Former U.N. Weapons Inspector Says, “Absolute Requirement to K

nobody@vox.com(DollarMan) — Tue, 13 May 2008 18:59:18 +0000

In his usual form, former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter told a packed crowd at the Oriental Theater in Denver to stop whining about corporate media and become their own intelligence operatives. We the people have the same resources and tools that intelligence networks rely heavily on; it’s called “Google” he said.

A First Hand Report From Al Anbar Province Iraq - Vox

nobody@vox.com(Humbled Infidel) — Sun, 11 May 2008 04:05:15 +0000

Email from U.S. Marines... So we got a break from the 110 temps. Last night a kick in the butt sandstorm hit and visibility was slim. The enemy is frustrated and can't stand that every time they turn around there is a Marine there. We thwarted a complex ambush last week as we patrolled with the Iraqi's. They are getting stronger by the day and before you know it, they will ask us to leave. They have become so much stronger since my last deployment here it would truly astonish you. We had a young Marine get informed that he is now a dad. Proud and a bit different now that he knows he is a dad shows the true caliber of these studs overhear. They too should make you proud. They continue to put in long days, bear the difficult environment and continue to accomplish the mission. All are in good spirits because they see first hand the difference they are making. I bet you haven't heard any crap story's on the news lately have ya?? Nope because all of the armed forces are kicking butt here. Thank you for all of our support and although you may not hear it in the news, you should be proud to be an American, by witnessing these Marines kick butt, I know I am. Semper Fi-Time for a cigar.

Send a Thank You General Petraeus Note

nobody@vox.com(RobynHode) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 13:25:24 +0000

This week General David Petraeus will report to Congress on the recent progress in Iraq. When General Petraeus testified six months ago, he was the victim of personal and vicious attacks by ultra-liberal groups. MoveOn.org took out a full-page ad in the New York Times calling General Petraeus a traitor.
