The troops’ sense of humor outdoes anything I’ve ever seen in the safe environs of the comfy land of round doorknobs. New cartoonists are sprouting up all over Iraq. Now they have FOB humor. Scroll down a bit to see it.

Oh yeah, they are winning.

The bombs aren’t stopping them either.

More good news, bad news here.

The lies about the intel are exposed here.

Vice President Cheney doesn’t hold back re Pelosi and company and American Girls recognize a leader when they see one.

I’ve been reading The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Alone 1932-1940 by William Manchester, am only on page #121 but I’m blown away by the strength of character of the man, Churchill.

In reading the narrative of the period of time during the 1930s that Winston was a back-bencher, scorned by all of the politicians in parliament save five, I’ve learned that Churchill was Great Britain’s only steadfast voice of conscience, calling his country to reason and arms, when flocks of appeasers such as the Baldwins, Lord Lothians, MacDonald’s and Chamberlains made Pelosi-like pilgrimages to Berlin to symbolically kiss the feet of Hitler. Churchill’s powerful words must have rubbed raw the ears of those who refused to confront the evil in Europe.

Churchill’s immortal line should be called to mind in these dangerous days of appeasement, “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

The other included the equally famous “Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour.’ “

It was their finest hour.
