Truth, Lies and In Between

“65 people who are going to be able to get more press than the hundreds of thousands who have come back and said they’re proud of their service.” – White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, about Appeal for Redress

Spread the word about Appeal for Redress’s false claims that they are a grassroots campaign. They are anything but a grass roots organization. They are a well-organized, orchestrated, and funded machine.

Send this link to everyone you know in and around the military, the media, op-ed columnists, etc.

Greyhawk at Mudville lays out the path that this group has taken in order to look like a legit grassroots movement. They are trying to cover up his discovery even as you are reading this.

If you do not think that it’s important to spread the word, the false story about Appeal for Redress keeps getting distributed. Just GoogleNews “Appeal for Redress”.

Back from Baghdad

My HotAir.com colleague Bryan Preston and I are back from Iraq. Thanks to Allah and Ian for holding down the fort at HA and thanks much to guest-bloggers Mary Katharine Ham, See-Dubya, and the Big Lizards for filling in here during my absence. Be sure to bookmark their blogs.

Our first Hot Air in Baghdad video report is here.

Bryan’s first post-trip essay, a thorough assessment of “mistakes, fumbles and ways forward to win–and what victory actually looks like,” is here. He’s also got video stills of our encounters with shady operators on both sides of the sectarian divide while on patrol with U.S. troops.

Nice to have her back from Iraq with a new perspective on things that if you’ve never been in combat, are likely not to know.
I just wish the MSM would get off their collective asses and go to Iraq and get the information first hand rather than through their stringers, which to me, are merely terrorist mouthpieces.

Afghans thwart suicide attack on U.S. base in Kabul

Pacific edition, Thursday, January 18, 2007

Two Afghans thwarted a would-be suicide bomber from attacking a U.S. base in Kabul on Tuesday, according to a news release from Combined Forces Command-Afghanistan.

The incident happened when a driver tried to ram a vehicle filled with explosives through the front gate of Camp Phoenix, the news release says.
Realizing this was a terrorist attack, an Afghan security officer and an interpreter on the scene were able to stop the driver from detonating the explosives, said a Task Force Phoenix spokeswoman in the news release.

There’s a success story. Can’t wait to see it in the MSM.
