Three Words or Less

I'm often criticized for being a little bit (okay- a lot) verbose at times. I feel the criticism is justified, and I've been struggling to find a concise way to lay out our plan for a peaceful and stable Iraq. I think it's being called "The Bush Plan" these days, and it's being touted by both candidates. About a week ago, I referred you to this article by LTG Petraeus. The feedback I got from that article was that the General is more verbose than I. Fair enough. Now I have some good news- I found a guy who managed to sum it up in three words or less. His name is Austin Bay, and he's an Army Colonel who recently returned from a stint in Iraq. I heard his name come up more than a few times in my headquarters, and to say that he's a well respected officer would be an understatement. Read his article, and I promise you'll have a better understanding of what we're doing over there.

I voted today. Please make sure you all do the same. Especially if you live in a battleground state such as Florida, New Jersey, or NEVADA (hint hint).

I read an intelligence report today that would absolutely knock your socks off. It hasn't been thoroughly analyzed yet, but the source was determined to be highly reliable- meaning he's given correct information in the past. If this thing breaks, it will change the entire foreign policy debate in a way that few could have ever anticipated. Stay tuned...
