Stevie Nicks has a supportive handwritten letter to the troops.

From today’s WaPo:

President Bush, comforting grief-stricken family and friends of fallen Marines, praised U.S. troops Thursday for their two-week advance on Baghdad and said “a vice is closing” on Saddam Hussein’s regime.

So, are they saying that the coalition is like some kind of massive vice squad?

They’ve even got it that way in the headline. I thought we were supposed to rely on “serious newspapers,” rather than blogs, because they have editors.

Go look now, before they fix it.

It’s amusing to see them criticizing the President’s diction, when they don’t even know how to spell “vise.”

They still haven’t fixed it. I guess no one has even bothered to tell them about it. I’m certainly not.

Hilarious.

That’s how Mr. Fisk describes his favorite brutal regime’s defenses. And he does so on the day after our troops are already viewing most of what he describes through the rear-view mirror.

They just turned off the lights in Baghdad, according to Fox News. I suspect that the special forces have something interesting planned for the Saddamites.

Now General Franks is saying he didn’t do it.

So what’s the story? A coup, perhaps? Though I don’t know why they’d turn off the lights for that.

The city of Olympia, Washington, has issued a resolution praising the late America-hater and terrorist enabler, Rachel Corrie, and declaring a day of remembrance. (Note, it’s a PDF file.)

I wonder what they’ll have to say about Pfc. (soon to be Corporal?) Lynch?
