I was going to ignore it, but now that Drudge is linking to it - the moonbats are going to come out the woodwork and inflate the numbers all stupid like. Sigh. Greyhawk's favorite Astroturfer is back; the Navy's Hutto.
As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq . Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.Yes, an internet appeal where any putz with an internet connection can add their name to the list of "military members" who oppose the war. Yawn...but you know it will get traction. Get a half dozen ligit persons to justify a thousand poseurs. Sigh. Sometimes, all you have is scorn.
BTW, congrats Greyhawk, you scooped Drudge by, what seven weeks? And you have all the gouge!
Many authors and readers at this site are now two-time honorees as Time Magazine's "Person of the Year". (For those of you who've only been recognized once: neener neener neener.)
Looking back at Time's Iraq covers from 2003 I'm struck by the fact that the fundamental themes of every article on Iraq you'll read today are expressed in those ready-for-bumper-sticker headlines. Some might declare their early (and frequent) declarations of American defeat "prescient". I think there are better terms.
There's an article in The Virginian-Pilot about the controversy surrounding the naming of the next aircraft carrier; the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill says CVN 78 should be the USS Gerald R.

My thoughts are here -- do any of the Navy aviation-types, or anyone else, have any thoughts on this?
that the soundtrack to this video is going to pop up on about every third deployment video for the next six months. It's already all over the Internets as samizdat...
Nobody today is trying to levitate the Pentagon (as one group attempted back in 1967), but I can't help but wonder what inspires people to engage in such an exercise in futility. As long as they're wasting their time, here's a suggested schedule for more pointless protests:
Monday -- Protest against war outside the Pentagon
Tuesday -- Protest against poverty outside the World Bank
Wednesday -- Protest against violent crime outside FBI Headquarters
Thursday -- Protest against AIDS outside the National Institutes of Health
Friday -- Protest against war (again) outside Walter Reed.
On Saturday, if they're not too busy smoking dope, they can go protest against arson outside their local fire station.
