And I know that much has been blogged about the Levant and I understand everyone's ideas and ideals but I received from a colleague , of which his identity I will not betray, in an email, a cry out. A cry for understanding of what is the reality of war for those that have not witnessed what is the dark side of conflict a need to understand what happens when a bomb is dropped for what every the reason. The images are indeed gruesome, but well fuck that this is reality so there is no disclaimer. Read More

On Tuesday, Israeli IDF soldiers took siege to a prison located in the town of Jericho, where Popular Front Secretary General Ahmad Saadat and five other terrorists involved in the murder of former Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi were barricaded. The siege lasted for nearly nine hours and ultimately ended with Saadat handing himself over to IDF soldiers. The interesting thing about the event isn't the operation in itself as much as the timing of the operation. With Israeli elections only two weeks away, the Jericho incident can definitely be seen as an election ploy by Olmert, and the Kadima party, however, this is not the first time in Israeli history prime ministers sought to inflate their stance at the expense of their neighbors.

In a new attempt at "debuking" the Holocaust, Iran has invited Australian Holocaust denier Dr. Frederick Tobin to bear witness to the fact that Jews could not have been killed in gas chambers in Auschwitz. Tobin is presenting to the "The Auschwitz Model" in which he contends that upon visiting Auschwitz he "could not find the holes from which gas came out of." Tobin also adds that the Holocaust is a "myth" and backs claims made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Israel should be wiped out or sent to live back in Germany and Austria.

Hundreds of thousands of flag-waving Lebanese packed Martyrs square in central Beirut two days ago to mark the anniversary of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The scene was very reminiscent of the amazing display of ultra nationalistic protests against Syria's grip over Lebanese society. The awe inspiring massive political mobilization united Muslim, Druze and Christian Lebanese that had been at war with each other for nearly fifteen-years. However, the aftermath has not been pretty. Political assassinations have occurred on numerous occasions and party politics seem to be being shaped along the lines of ones religions sect rather than ideals. Read More

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has once again lashed out at Israel claiming that if Germany and Austria feel responsible for massacring Jews during World War II, a state of Israel should be established in Europe rather than in the Palestine. Are you kidding? More below. Read More

I just read this op ed over at the LA Times from yesterday, I guess I must have missed it in my daily travels.

"I didn't enlist, and maybe I lack the conviction of soldiers in Iraq. Or do they lack my good fortune?" By Oren Rawls

It's a definite must read for all of those that sit in the generation gap that is the all volunteer army as I do, and feel that tension between doing what is right morally and what is seen as a definitive aspect of becoming a man. Read More

The tension between both the Bush and Blair administrations and Tehran has been a constant theme throughout the conflict in Iraq. From the moment Bush uttered the now legendary phrase "the axis of evil" the relationship between Tehran and the west has been very tense. Even though the Iranian's cooperated in the pre war build up, both allowing the Iraqi National Congress to establish a legitimate presence in the Iraqi arena, as well as allowing American elements to operate within its borders, the tension created by Bush's speech was bound to escalate at some time. This seems to currently be the case in the latest exchange between 10 Downing Street and Tehran. Read More

I just read this over at the The Guardian

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers and injured three in central Iraq, the U.S. command said Sunday.

The patrol with Task Force Liberty was hit Saturday evening in the city of Samarra, about 60 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement.

All the soldiers were transported to a coalition medical facility where two of them died from wounds sustained in the attack, the statement said. Read More

Just read it on the AP....

"He has risen to the highest ranks of the White House, carries the title of deputy chief of staff and presides over a broad portfolio of domestic and foreign issues. But even as he has morphed from political operative to policy adviser, Karl Rove retains the instincts of the direct-mail specialist he once was in Texas.

The verbal strike he aimed at liberals and liberalism during a speech to the New York Conservative Party on Wednesday night came straight out of the direct-mail manual: pithy, provocative and designed to energize one side by torching the other."

I guess the boys are scared if they are still relying on Rove to clean up after them!!!!!
