Our buddy Jack Holt with New Media Outreach with OSD at the Pentagon has begun a new blog called DoD Live. It is professional, good to the eye, and already active. We expect good things from it. Congratulations Jack. Welcome to blogging.
CTC Sentinel, May 2008, Vol. 1, Issue 6.
The CTC Sentinel, produced by the Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point, has quickly become a necessary read for anyone who wants to understand combatting terrorism.
Olmert and Assad’s Peace of the Lame, Pajamas Media.
It is preposterous to assume that Olmert had enough clout and power left to broker a peace deal between Israel and Syria, or that Assad actually wants a deal. The Captain’s Journal believes that Olmert is a short timer, and the next Israeli PM will be Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Fall of Lebanon, Barry Rubin, GLORIA Center.
“Lebanon will not disappear as a country on the map, of course–contrary to the Iranian alliance’s intentions toward Israel–but it is now going to be part of the Iranian bloc. This is not only bad for Lebanon itself but also terrifying for other Arab regimes. The Saudis deserve credit for trying to save Lebanon. But what will happen now as the balance of power shifts? They are less inclined to resist and more likely to follow the West’s course and adopt an appeasement policy.”
Pro-Syrian (Hezbollah-Friendly) General to become Lebanese President, W. Thomas Smith, Jr.
… he is a pro-Syrian commander of the Lebanese Army, and I can tell you from my personal conversation with him, he is also pro-Hezbollah, believing that Hezbollah’s Taliban-like kingdom within the sovereign state of Lebanon is acceptable because they resist foreign aggression.
The Sergeant Lost Within, New York Times
Never forget the wounded and disabled.
