(With apologies to Lennon/McCartney)
I wrote my first post on January 3, 2005, which means that last week was my First Blogoversary. (If a First Anniversary is "paper" does that mean a First Blogoversary is "electrons"?) It has been fun, entertaining, enlightening, occasionally work, and ultimately quite satisfying. For my Blogday, I thought I would do a round-up of some of the interesting stories around the Blogosphere today, starting with my first ever post, First approximation.
This morning Scott at Powerline points to a story by Stephen Hayes called Saddam's Terror Training Camps. If we had a responsible press in this country, the story of the extensive connections between Saddam Hussein and terror groups, complete with three different training facilities in Iraq, would be headline news. The new information is from a tiny fraction of the mountain of documents we extracted from Iraq. Michelle Malkin comments:
This is important news. It ought to be on the front pages. It won't be. So spread the word.
I think it is wise to always listen to Michelle, so consider the word spread.
The anchoress offers us some insight, "out of the mouths of babes" (with all due apologies to Buster for my literary license.) Follow that with some "don't miss" comments on the post, courtesy of Dr. Sanity.
But wait, there's more...
No Pasaran (and how does he do that with his apostrophes?) points out that real heroes are often the most modest of men.
MacRanger points out that prematurely announcing defeat is not heroic.
Dymphna pays homage to Ariel Sharon with the highest praise an American can offer.
Kobayashi Maru stays on The Only Story That Matters.
At One Cosmos, Gagdad Bob offers an alternate history.
Sigmund, Carl and Alfred want us to actually think, and offers a thought provoking article, with links.
Finally, take a look at John Noonan's post, Bound for Glory: A Nation at War, at the Officer's Club. I especially liked the fifth comment, which captures the beauty of the Blogosphere.
