From The Front:Updated

The best reporter in Iraq, Mike Yon, has his latest dispatch posted from Bagdad about a Christian University in the heart of the war zone, abandoned nearly a year ago. It is surreal, unscathed, with all books, valuable electronics inplace and untouched since they were left under threat of death. Mike definately deserves a Pulitzer or two for his writing and photography while embedded with our troops, no other journalist has spent as much time walking the line at the front. Go read his post and let the pictures take you there, like him, I believe the prayers of the Seminary staff protected their school, yes, miracles do happen.

My other favorite independant journalist, Michael Totten and his travelling partner Patrick Laswell also have further reporting from Kirkuk, Iraq and their interview with Kurdish Gen. Mam Rostam, Peshmerga strongman, and some more insight into a culture so different than ours. Why doesn't the MSM pick these guys up as stringers? Michael does get a few pieces out through Tech Central Station but not at the level that it should be. This one is a must read about a trip to "Hizbulluhland". in southern Lebanon.

Jed Babbin at Human Events has a great piece up after talking with Gen. Petraeus on what is really happening in Iraq. Progress is slow but moving forward and reflects what I consider our biggest mistake in the prewar planning, a gross underestimation at how eroded the infrastructure had become under Saddam.

My man for POTUS, Mitt Romney, continues to roll out the ideas and has an agenda forming, only Newt Gingrich can compete on this level. I added his sons' blog to the blogroll and requested a crosslink. They just bought a RV to travel the campaign trail and are looking for name suggestions, I posted that it should be "Mitt Romney's Spirit of America". It is a moderated blog so the moonbat trolls need not apply. Wow, what dynamic, energetic family effort can be matched by the other candidates.?

Update: Hmm, my favorite detractors, are way behind me in rank as far as blog popularity by nearly a million according to technorati, several mil in some cases of the most profane moonbats, they have a long way to go to even break the top 1 million. So moonbats, how does that make you feel? I am beating your brains out by hundreds of thousands, I guess playing golf does make sense. They have chased my little white balls around for over a year and still don't understand the game by coming in way over par, the goal is to score low not high in this game. ROFLMAO, they attack me for lack while smelling my exhaust, go figure. Sorry, I do not link moonbats especially stinky ones.
Update:
Bill Roggio reports on a major Al Qaida leader's capture, just chipping away at the infrastructure.

Michelle Malkin has some more moonbat madness, with video.

Don't miss Mary Katherine Ham's awesome Dr. Seuss Parody of Harry surrendercrat Reid to Green Eggs and Ham. One thing is for sure, the GOP ladies are hotties.

Update: I have to wonder why rebuild New Orleans if is going to be fifty feet underwater according to Al Gore in a few years, so why waste taxpayer money rebuilding it? NO is already below sea level, go figure? Call it Socialism at its best, soak the taxpayer for idiocy. That is Al Gore in a nutshell, socialist dictocrat.
