Rumsfeld recovering after shoulder surgery
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld underwent successful elective surgery to repair a shoulder injury described as "an old athletic injury" at a military hospital on Tuesday, the Pentagon said.
Rumsfeld, 74, underwent arthroscopic surgery lasting less than two hours to fix a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder, a relatively common sports injury, said Pentagon press secretary Eric Ruff.

Damn right.

Doc is right, The Blog of War is one great reason to come to the 2007 MilBlog Conference, which will take place on May 5, 2007. I think Matt and his contributors should have their own book-signing booth.
Thanks to Matt for pulling together some of the most powerful posts from the milblog community, and packaging them so perfectly. Visit Blackfive for more.
In which my co-blogger Daniel, former Marine, tries to declare a minor.
If you were going to pick let's say 5 subjects you would think were of importance when discussing the impact of 911, what would they be.? Would you put "American bigotry" in the top 5? Top 10? Even if it was, would you think this week is the time to put that out?
Well, the BBC does; and they are doing it on the BBC World Service. That way, everyone in the world will know that the "911 Story" the British taxpayer wants his money spent on - is a story about American bigotry.
You just can't make this stuff up.
Looking for reasons to justify a trip to DC next May? I’ve already talked my wife into going, she’s a history buff and the West Coast doesn’t have anything that can touch the museums in DC. Not to mention the great fellowship with other military bloggers like ourselves. But the real reason we should go?
The al-Qaeda terror network on Monday denied claims by the Iraqi authorities that its second in command in Iraq, Hamdi Jamaa Faris Juri al-Saeidi, was captured by US and Iraqi forces over the weekend. Reports of al-Saedi's arrest had been invented by the Americans, al-Qaeda said in a statement. Al-Saeidi is alleged to have ordered the February bombing of a revered Shiite Muslim shrine in Samarra, that triggered a wave of ferocious sectarian killings in Iraq, and to have assumed the command of al-Qaeda, after its late leader in Iraq, Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was killed by a military airstrike in June."Our enemies have invented this Crusader propaganda that merely spins lies and disseminates them though the apostate government of Iraq, with the sole aim of concealing its own failures," the statement continued, apparently referring to clashes on Sunday between US forces as Islamic militants Ramadi, in the volatile Sunni insurgent stronghold of al-Anbar province west of the capital, Baghdad, in which two marines died.
