Winds of War: 2003-02-18

| 5 Comments

In an effort to bring y'all some of the more interesting pieces out there without cramping the team's style, We've started putting each day's interesting links in one post of short listings. If you think your blog has a worthy post in this area, feel free to let us know and we'll come take a look.

  • Today's must-read is up over at ChicagoBoyz. Is the USA about to betray the democrats in Iraq? ly, I find this plausible. And appalling. Christopher Hitchens, please call your office - then call these guys out.

  • More on Al-Qaeda in Iran.

  • And more on that guy arrested in Gatwick airport with a grenade. Venezuelan? Maybe. Care to guess his name?

  • Looks like Trent blogged Random Thoughts' North Korea bit before I did. RT also has some good advice for South Korea. They won't take it.

  • A quick reminder of what the North Korean refugees face: hostility from all sides, including the South.

  • Calpundit, a liberal who supports the invasion of Iraq, points to some international polls to make a point. American Realpolitik chimes in with another poll, from France. Do these 2 polls complement or contradict one another? What's the message? Think it through.

  • Megan: don't back down under pressure. Yes, they're jerks. You're surprised? Suck it up, keep your cool, and keep firing. This isn't the French army, ya know.

  • Memo to El Sur: please come back.

  • Those Kurdish airstrips: Rantburg's commentary is parody. The airstrips are real, and important.

  • Silflay Hraka offers his thoughts about the Gulf War II game plan. Agree with his take that the template is probably closer to Panama than Gulf War I. So does Rev. Donald Sensing, who as Major Sensing was involved in Panama.

  • Meanwhile, on the scene, Lt. Smash has a proposal of his own for Saddam. And Salam Pax has a report from inside Iraq.

  • Hmm, this is less comforting. England's Sword notes a pattern of recent Iraqi enquiries about decontaminating anthrax.

  • More payback headed toward the Axis of Weasels. Steven Den Beste explains why changing the perceived cost:benefit ratio for opposing America is a good idea. Now, here's the connection he missed: Turkey is in Argentina-class financial trouble with the IMF, and is currently on the fence re: allowing US troops in.

  • Finally, Rantburg covers French leader Chirac's youthful stay in America: "So what went wrong? We tried our best. The guy had honest work, good beer, cheeseburgers and was getting laid regularly. What else could we have done?"

    Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

    *This* puts text in bold.

    _This_ puts text in italics.

    bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

    To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
