[Michael Yon - Online Magazine] SEVEN: Our Coalition is stunningly more effective at logistics than were the Soviets.  For instance, when the British were resupplying small FOBs near Sangin last year””just a short drive from the origin at Camp Bastion””the monthly convoys were major operations that drained needed combat power, and still vehicles were destroyed with casualties.  So powerful are some of the bombs that they can launch the ultra-armored American MRAPs into the air, flipping them like turtles, often breaking the backs of soldiers.  Even today, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is making moves to facilitate allies to get more counter-IED gear, such as MRAPs, which seems like a good move because some allies are risk-averse to the point of being ineffective (not that MRAPs are going to save them).  By air, when a civilian helicopter was trying to resupply at Sangin, it was shot down just outside the base, killing the crew and at least one child on the ground.  Make no mistake: this is a worthy enemy.

[The National Newspaper] Blair defends role in Iraq war - The National Newspaper: But, pressed by the five-member inquiry panel on what he thought Mr Bush took from that meeting, Mr Blair said: “I think what he took from that was exactly what he should have taken, which was if it came to military action because there was no way of dealing with this diplomatically, we would be with him.”

May the media stop trying to improve ratings by stirring the pots of hatred that become apparent (simply reading the comments to this story prove that point) and it might help America retain a semblance of decency for which it once stood in most of the world.

[Nick Robinson's Newslog] BBC - Nick Robinson's Newslog: Blair likely to defend Iraq judgement: Until we have an inquiry with the evidence presented as in a court of law and the witnesses cross examined by suitably qualified barristers, the truth will never be told.There is no doubt that getting rid of Saddam was comendable, but if this nation went to war on a web of deceit then those who used this deceit must be punished. Blaming George Bush for the decisions of our government does not wash, they made the decision and must explain why.Parliament and the majority of the British people approved of the government's action based on the facts they were presented with, but now that these facts have been found to be spurious, then justice must be done and must be seen to be done.
