#1 Thanks for posting, Glenmore. Reminds me that I've got to resume my daily review of MNF-I releases. I wonder/presume/hope about whether we're taking out "rogue" elements who, uh, happen to be the people we want to take out anyway, obedient to the Mookster or not.

Yesterday on Hugh Hewitt show there was an interesting discussion of the USMC's Combat Hunter program. One comment by one of the guests was telling: he said that the difference now is that we're aggressively going after the main bad guys. Some of us can only shake our heads and recall the many months of treading water before this basic and obvious idea of resuming the initiative was adopted. And while I like and respect Gen. Casey, what's with his getting easy confirmation as Army CoS following his stewardship of the fiasco that was '05/'06?

And it's a secret. sheeah, shush.
