Good News, Bad News
Good news out of Iraq: Confederate Yankee, surge underway.
More good news out of Iraq: Michael Yon, the surge assault will be “unlike anything we’ve seen before.”
More good news out of Iraq: Reuters reports the surge offensive will be “unlike anything this city has seen.” Sounds familiar.
Irrelevant news about Iraq: Syrian dictator wants to talk peace. Talking to people who are actively supporting terrorism is a waste of time.
Interesting news out of Iraq: Petraeus has assembled some noted military experts in counter insurgency as an advisory group, including an eccentric Australian.
Stupid news regarding Iraq: The Spaniards want to mess around re Hotel Palestine and are furthering their persecution of three American soldiers. My most recent post on the incident, aspects of which I witnessed, with links here.
Interesting news regarding Iran: Rasmussen poll, Americans seem to have a relatively clear view of the situation.
Bad news out of Iraq: Four US helicopters lost in the last month were shot down. They are getting better at it. Dadmanly, as noted earlier, has thoughts on this. He’s thinking Iran.
More bad news out of Iraq: AP reports line grunts in Baghdad disillusioned and don’t believe the surge will have anything but a temporary effect.
Good news, bad news out of Iraq: Iraqis were hopeful about surge sucess, but now say surge faster, please. With Mahdi Army lying low, Shiites say they are vulnerable.
Good news out of Afghanistan: A Taliban leader gets wacked and an American four-star with a tough reputation takes over NATO forces.
Bad news out of Afghanistan: The Taliban claims it has 2,000 suicide bombers lined up and ready to go. Sounds like propaganda, however, and the Taliban generally has been getting the worst of it in clashes with NATO forces.
Good news, bad news out of Afghanistan: Departing Brit Gen. Richards claims military success despite resurgence at Musa Qala. Times of London discusses Richards’ win-some, lose-some tenure in some detail.
Good news, bad news out of Britain: Security forces bust up a terror plot about once every six weeks. The bad news: that’s a lot of terror plots. The good news: they’re busting them.
Welcome, Instapundit readers. Stop in, look around, make yourself at home. Don’t miss Charlize Theron, hot yet stupid. Or George Soros in a thong and a hot Hungarian with a machine gun. But before you think this is all about sex, I also need some help with a Game Theory issue.
