From Baghdad


Greetings from Al Faw Palace, where the two-room bathrooms (which are larger than most hotel bedrooms) have their own waiting rooms, where a brutal dictator can no longer call home, and where Coalition Forces invest their lives in returning a stable way of life to the citizens of Iraq. It's a privilege to finally be here.

Allow me to dredge up a couple bygone discussions...

Cindy Sheehan may be upset over the loss of her son, but before she postures for yet another meeting with the President - perhaps she and her followers ought to talk to any one of the Iraqi citizens who are grateful (to the point of my embarassment, sometimes) for our efforts on their behalf. // How Letterman could possibly suggest that Bill O'Reilly was somehow missing the point by not feeling for that woman who clearly enjoys and exploits the partisan spotlight is beyond ludicrous. Pardon me for asking if Letterman has spent a single day of his life giving up his Freedom so an entire country might enjoy theirs... all while some dis-involved "mother" could high-jack her fallen son's sacrifice while denouncing the mission he believed in so much.

I can't say how long I'll be here, or what I'm doing - but I'll update as I can!
