In light of the exposure of a significant amount of questionable - if not fraudulent - recent reporting from Iraq, it's worthwhile to acknowledge that there is a bloody battle ongoing there. I know folks here are well aware of that, but I'm actually surprised that so far Sadr's goons haven't retaliated in force for the attack last week - while it's possible Maliki might actually have him under a bit of control (they reached some agreements a couple weeks ago, and this attack was probably designed to derail that process) - that may be still to come.
In fact, it may be coming soon.
A couple points on Sadr - one, I don't think he's as much "in control" of his goon squads as many believe (I've mentioned this before), and two, I'm not convinced he won't chose a political solution to resolve this current situation. Given item one, I'm not sure item two matters all that much anyway.
...then I usually tolerate in a blog post. Work safe (no photos) but not for kids.
Information war, that is.
Patterico has an update on his Ramadi story here, and an apologetic letter from CENTCOM here.
Meanwhile, that Flopping Aces post we've been following this past weekend has attracted so much attention he's gone to a back-up site. CENTCOM has demanded a response from AP on that story - full text at Flopping Aces.
Brief excerpts from each CENTCOM letter below the fold. You'll want to read them.
Here's the first Spirit Spot I've seen for this year's Army-Navy game. Has anyone else seen any others flying around the 'net?
Rangel's proposal to revive the military draft is a sick joke. Nobody in the military wants the draft. Rangel's fellow Democrats are embarassed by his antics. His proposal has less chance of passing the House than the Washington Redskins do of winning the Stanley Cup. And even if it did, President Bush would veto it without a second thought. It's hardly worth mentioning.
Indeed, I wouldn't have mentioned it at all, if Rangel hadn't regurgitated the tired old slander that only those with "the least opportunities" volunteer to serve in the military.
