Obama vs. Baldilocks

[Mrs Greyhawk]

Long time milblogger Baldilocks, gives an interview regarding Obama and a small school in Kenya named after him.

She has a lot in common with Obama - who might be the next president. Both were born to Kenyan fathers of the same tribe (the Luo) from the same province (Nyanza), who as boys came to America aboard the same airplane.

Very interesting.

Aviation Week Leak

[Mrs Greyhawk]

Keeps on giving ... to the enemy. HT: Glenn

Update:

IMHO here's a possible reason we don't want Iran (or others) to believe it was sucessful.

Iran Aerospace Organisation head Reza Taghipour, said Iran wanted to help Muslim countries to launch satellites.

"I am announcing now that Iran is ready to launch satellites of friendly Islamic countries into space," Taghipour told state television.

Taghipour said Iran was planning to build and launch more satellites by 2010.

"We are working on these satellites and gradually they will be put into orbit," he told the semi-official Mehr news agency.

He said construction of the Besharat (Good News) satellite would begin in Iran once it had financing from the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, adding that high costs were an obstacle to space development.

U.S. Troops Out of Iraq By 2011

[LT Nixon]

Good news from Iraq in the WSJ that U.S. troops will be fully withdrawn by 2011. It's not official, but WSJ probably wouldn't run it on page one without a bunch of credible sources. This shows the improvement of the Iraqi Security Forces and newfound confidence, and shouldn't be mistaken that we are "withdrawing in defeat".
