Happy New Year :)
Been a super-busy day, thankfully it’s almost over. The whole week promises to be just like today, as I will continue to have to catch up from being off all last week, so please bear with me. Wanted to get this thread started so everyone can get in their New Years greetings and wishes. I’ll check back in later tonight with my own 
If you’re going to be out and about celebrating tonight, please be careful and drive safe!
Update 10:40 pm: I’m so tired, I’m not sure if I’ll make it til midnight. But one place where they partied after midnight into 2008 was in Baghdad, where this year they – and we – have seen more progress there since the fall of Baghdad, thanks in large part to General Petraeus, who should have been Time’s Man of the Year (sidenote: at least one publication saw fit to bestow him with the honor – h/t: ST reader GWR). It’s encouraging, and provides hope to everyone who believed from the start that overthrowing Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do. If things continue on this track, eventually GWB’s goal of a stable and secure Iraq, which would be a beacon of hope in the Middle East, will be realized, and slowly but surely, our brave men and women, who – along with their families – have sacrificed so much during this war, can finally start coming home.
We still have a long road ahead of us there, though, and trouble’s been brewing in Afghanistan for some time, so for now, the optimism many of us hold is of the cautious variety. Here’s praying that 2008 brings more good news out of Iraq, and that things turn around in Afghanistan, and that we get a president who knows how to continue to lead the fight against Islamofascism around the world. The year numbers might be changing, but the war on terror rages on.

Happy New Year everybody.
ST – A happy New Year to you also. One of the pleasant events of 2007 for me … I discovered your blog. Intelligent, sharp commentary in this neck of the woods. I look forward to more of the same in election year 2008!
Half the world now New Year. Soon Time Square.

I hope your New Year is more blessed that your last year. I hope you grow in both the depth of your beauty and wisdom. 
I pray that many blessing find you, and the the Lord of All watch over you. – Lorica
Happy New Year from Washington State all! Have your selves a great first day in 08!
See y’all in the morning,
I’m cuttin’ out an hour early.
Happy New Year from Washington State!
Guess I’m a day ahead of everyone else here, having rung in the New Year last night, local time. I was on watch, but got relieved by midnight so I missed the influx of celebratory drunks…if there were any. I think most of our guys are smart enough to find a flop out in town for the post-party crash.
Guam, where America’s day begins!
Happy 2008 everyone! Now the election year fun really begins!
