Strata-Sphere has a good bit of rationality on the UAE company that's buying the british company with the port contracts, and some excellent background on his reasons. I have to admit it makes me nervous, and given the facts of the situatio, there should be additional monitoring of their performance. But if we cannot show a link between them and terrorists, we are obligated to allow them to try. To do otherwise is to betray what makes us americans.

**********

ROFASix has an article on how the assault on Iwo Jima was a mistake and perspective on the differences between then and now. I'm intermittently working on a long article on a similar subject. His is worth reading.

**********

Professor Bainbridge misses Newt Gingrich. Agreed that he's a bomb thrower. Agreed that he runs off at the mouth disturbingly often. Agreed that he can't always articulate himself clearly, and he has shown clear contempt when it wasn't warranted disturbingly often. He "gets it" on where to stand on the issues right way more often than most major political figures.

**********

Atlas Shrugs has an account of how the Russians moved Iraqi weapons to Syria.

More later if I get a chance!

Stumble It!

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
