I’ve got a lot going on this morning, but I wanted to pass along to you a few articles/blogposts that relate to the Iraq war:

  • Lorie Byrd from Polipundit writes in an opinion piece at Townhall.com titled “The war about more than hurt feelings” - in it, she notes how the media like to spin military stories negative and has quotes from milblogger Blackfive.
  • Ian at Expose the Left has video of an Iraq war veteran’s wife who asked President Bush at a speech yesterday in Wheeling, West Virginia where people could find good news about Iraq, because the mainstream media, she noted, only seems to want to focus on the bad.
  • Read Tony Blair’s *excellent* speech he made this week on why we are fighting this war on terror - the speech includes heavy reminders of what this war is all about.
  • Hugh Hewitt interviewed Chris Hitchens yesterday and they discussed the media’s role in shaping our opinions on the situation in Iraq.

Enjoy!

  1. I wanted to get my 2 cents in here about the “Fighting Democrats” tommy crows about. I blog a bit about Tammy Duckworth in “Fighting Democrats not a Trump Card over at Iowa Voice. These vets are not immune to criticism of their politics or political positions, especially when they become candidates for office. For the most part these are people soft on defense, illegal immigration, and national security.

  2. I heard the interview between Hugh and Hitchens yesterday and Hitchens made BRILLIANT point.

    He said (I’m paraphrasing) that there isn’t any “anti-war” candidates or politicians. The anti-war folks are on the other side of the war. There is two sides in a war. You are either in the fight against the enemy or you are on the other side. They are helping the enemy.

  3. I don’t believe that Hitchen’s said that Baklava, but, if he did, he’s more insane than I thought he was. Why do you discredited Republican’s keep repeating that your either for us, or your against us? Is your side building gas chambers to march somebody into? Peace
