  1. Where's the best info on the war? by floppy+ears · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Serious question: where are y'all getting your info on the war? I'm talking in depth stuff like tactics, maps. Not just the CNN bs, but real stuff like great terrain maps and discussions of the weaponry.

  2. Ask the Iraqi's by krysith · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I ran across this blog from a resident of Baghdad. Apparently, music websites aren't scragged by Iraqi security. It's not media coverage, but it gives a certain perspective you won't find in the media.

    I worry that I might be perhaps causing trouble for the guy, but I figure if he put it on the web he wants people to see it.

    Well, lets start with the dossier that Powell submitted to the U.N., it's a fake.

    Remember that bit of evidence linking Iraq to nuclear weapons, oh yeah, it's a fake as well.

    Those "great" tips our folks have been giving the inspection team? All that cool intel we have about trucks with mobile labs and sneaky shit going down, ummmm, it's garbage.

    Shit, I could spend all day doing this. Our government has been busted time after time. They are liars. Period. However, now that we're at war, I support our folks over there fighting. Our president is a complete bullshit artist and his team of jackasses will, hopefully, go far far away after the next election. But I hope the people on the ground and in the air do what they have to do and get home safely.
