Turkey Relents

And pulls out of northern Iraq. That’s a big relief for US soldiers – one less thing to worry about. At least I feel relieved for them, because this could have been a large problem down the road.
Another suicide bomb in Pakistan. One or two attempts in Iraq, with a few problems due to the [...]

Prince Harry

He’s presently in Afghanistan. The kid’s got guts and dedication. And he’s serving his time in the right place. Good for Prince Harry – I wish him the best of luck.

Al-Sadr says the cease-fire against US troops may be over. I [...]
