Saturday Scuttlebutt

Yes, Virginia, we are winning.

Sgt Hook puts it perfectly:

Iraqi sculptor Kalat forged this memorial from the melted bronze of former rat bastarddictator Saddam Hussein's fallen statues. Ironically, Kalat was forced by Saddam for years to sculpt hundreds of busts of the rat bastard beloved Iraqi leader.

This post Iraqi Kids, from Kevin at Boots On The Ground, illustrates just how similar Iraqi life is in many ways:

Me and my friend in the tower just laughed, because alot of people back home see these people as religiously fanatical and most seem alot like ordinary people you would meet home.

Greyhawk makes a point in Mike's comments about the Guard flap.

And by the way, the Presidents "Band of Brothers" also includes the 90% of the current Active Duty Force who are damn proud to serve under him now. We see him "on duty", and like what we see.

...I hadn't thought of it that way, but he's right. Bush is on duty 24x7 and Kerry?

Kerry has been pressing hard against the Bush administration on Iraq and the war on terror. Kerry, however, missed votes that dealt with Iraq's reconstruction and the Iraqi Intelligence Commission.

John Kerry of Massachusetts has missed 294 of the 459 votes, or 64 percent as of Jan 4, 2004.

Given Kerry's record, that may be a good thing.

Mea Culpa! I missed Jim's take on "Bush and I were lieutenants" earlier in the week. Good stuff. (note to self: read Smoke On The Water daily)

Last but not least, Tim, at CPT Patti, posts Homecoming Stories.
