#3 In the "Feeding hand meet biting dog" category.

Due to the change in the Status of Forces (SOFA) agreement signed off on by the current administration, unless traveling MILAIR, one know needs a Visa to visit Iraq. Cost $100. USD. Departure requires another $100. Visa. The Iraqi gov't is attempting to impose the Visa rule on MILAIR paks as well. Not certain the Afghan gov't has caught on yet.

So much for arrivals and departures OPSEC. Thank you once again Mr. President for your support of the US military.

#4 One of McHugh's five children, Michael McHugh, was a soldier serving in Iraq and met his father's body in Kuwait to accompany him home.

This is very sad. God bless the men and women who serve in our armed forces.

#5 Talked with one of the top intel guys in Iraq last week. the battle is for actionable intel, there. I suspect the same is true in Afghanistan. With cell phones, intel is nine digits away.

#6 This type of mistake makes me want to scream, especially after Polands tragedy. 4 colonels on the same bus is just asking for an attack.
