-------------------- A Day In Baghdad. I am stationed at Baghdad with the 1st Armored Division. I am a Sergeant First Class, most people call me Ski. I wrote this after I'd been here about 3 weeks. We take a lot of convoys into Baghdad, and... [Front Line Voices] 8:21:18 PM    comment []

--------------------- Chalk another one up for Dubya!. The UN Security Council unanimously agreed to the US sponsored resolution on Iraq. In essence, the the US is in a 'can't lose' position. If the UN helps with Iraqi reconstruction, great; if they don't, they are shown to be ineffectual, irrelevant, and hypocritical.

Unfortunately for them (and for France) unlike the situation under B.J. Clinton, the United States now controls two of Iran's major borders, and exerts strong influence over the nations comprising the remainder of them. And you know what else?
