More good stuff on the Vietnam that wasn’t by Den Beste. A great political cartoon of Rummy is included.

Steven Chapman gives Pfc Lynch some props.

Mark Steyn wants to know where this horrible meat-grinder quagmire we keep hearing about is. Includes Fisking the Fisk(tm).

Here’s a great history lesson on the origins of modern Iraq and the Ba’ath party. Not surprisingly, France is implicated.

Like many, Kathy Kinsley finds Iraq’s Minister of Information strangely compelling. I’d just like to add that in case Frank’s ever bored, a “In My World” version of a Al-Sahaf press conference could be great.

Thanks to Farker “Kiyardo” for this one…

Ladies and gentlemen, Cox and Forkum. And here is the LGF thread.

The Pallies have announced that unless Sharon accepts Oslo, they will continue terrorism. As opposed to what they’re already doing. Meryl Yourish gives ‘em the once-over.

Anna thinks today’s AoD could kick the WW2 model’s ass. I agree, and not just because I have an immediate family member in the current model. People today are bigger, stronger, and have much cooler toys. Also, we invented the NFL. Everyone else watches “soccer”, which involves small androgynous men running around in short shorts.

Even without the Arsenal of Democracy(tm) involved, is there really any doubt?

Steve H. Fisks Ted Rall. Must I say more?

Check it out hehe… Thanks Nethertroll!

John Hawkins at RWN interviews noted William Shatner ghostwriter and inventor of the term “blogosphere” Bill Quick, plus National Review’s Andrew Stuttaford. At the same time. Good stuff.

Frank’s Rummy is on. Go!

New evidence indicates that it was warmer during the Middle Ages. Certainly global warming is a tough sell on a day like today, when baseball games are being called on account of a blizzard.

Lots of people, including some of the writers of the Simpsons, are not amused that “cheese-eating surrender monkey” is being used “for evil” by political commentators. Includes a hilarious series of quotes from a history professor (of course) claiming that there’s nothing wrong with France’s surrender in WW2, and besides we didn’t liberate them, “mostly”. Uhhhhh, what?

Jonah Goldberg thinks we should throw Saddam in Arkham Asylum.

You thought the whole “freedom fries” thing was ridiculous? Meet Germans who are speaking French to protest the war. I’m laughing too hard to offer any further commentary.

Arabs are “disappointed” that Saddam isn’t putting up much of a fight.

You know you want to. The comments on this one are not to be missed.

Acidman Fisks the Iraqi government. I realize this is “difficulty: none”, but I got a good laugh out of it anyway.

Den Beste notes that the Hungarian police are censoring one of the best anti-EU posters ever. It’s simply brilliant.

Maybe they can get married and save us some typing. But anyway, Tim Blair takes out the trash here. Except that Blogger/Blogspot is farked up again so you’ll need to go here and look for the article under Tuesday April 08, 2003 that starts off about “CHEMICAL ALI”.

Check this out, delivered as only the Brits can.

Adam Sandler has a nice message for the troops up on his site. Nice to see another island of sanity in the sea of crazy celebs.
