This will run in tomorrow's Telegraph. This will run in tomorrow's San Francisco Chronicle. Has the shit hit the fan?

I just learned my friend, Tom Ransom, is now in Kuwait commanding his tank company in the "Iron Knights" (1-66 AR). He's (probably) gonna storm Tikrit w/ the rest of the 4ID. [Correction: Tikrit fell before Tom even got into Iraq. Sorry you missed out, Tom.]

More on CNN's admition of betrayal of journalistic integrity and its complicity w/ Iraq.

Finally, he's no longer broadcasting, but Baghdad Bob has a fansite.

This makes me sick with rage. What you put up on the 11th about the weapons inspector not teling about atrocities because he is trying to "wage peace". FUCK HIM! Let those kids being tortured in Saddam's jail decide if they want peace or war. Fucking asshole.
And CNN, they piss me off too. I can hardly believe what I read here. What the hell is going on?
It's starting to look like this world is going to need either a whole lot of violence or a whole lot of powerful reasoning to sort itself out.

No, I don't think war w/ Russia is "next". After all, we didn't go to war during the Cold War - and they were doing worse. But, here's some possible responses to consider:

No more free hand in Chechnya. No more support for entry into the WTO. No more invitations to the G8 summits. No more slow approach in E. Europe to avoid pissing off the Russians. No invitation to join NATO.
