Battle’s eve
June 19th, 2007 at 7:21 am . by nukeA few weeks ago, Pat Dollard was telling us that Diyala Province would be the next great battleground in Iraq.
Michael Yon’s dispatch on the eve of this great battle is a must read. “Be Not Afraid”
Thoughts flow on the eve of a great battle. By the time these words are released, we will be in combat. Few ears have heard even rumors of this battle, and fewer still are the eyes that will see its full scope. Even now—the battle has already begun for some—practically no news about it is flowing home. I’ve known of the secret plans for about a month, but have remained silent.
Wonderful writing. Just reading it gives me chill bumps. Read it all! Mail a copy to Reid and Pelosi. And, drop a few coins in Michael’s tip jar while you’re at it.

#22-Fixin’ to go out for dinner.
#23-No he don’t, he was speaking Arabic.
#24-Let me know when they feature this pic.
#25-Ahh, that new baby smell!
#26-They won’t get any ink or air time, they have seen the light.
Driving down the Dallas North Tollroad today, I was reminded how quickly those miles upon miles of sound barrier walls were built, and yet building a wall on the southern border is impossible to do.
Gotta go, later.

Damn. NBC news is showing how easy (within 15 minutes) it is to obtain documents to cross the border.

At Michelle Malkin’s site is a story on Ex-Muslims stand up in Britain. These are truly a courageous bunch, unlike, say, the chickenshit heart duo of Reid and Pelosi and the effete coterie of Democratic presidential hopefuls who apparently are in a contest to see who can wave the surrender flag the most vigorously.

Guess I haven’t knocked enough things over in here to wake up ol’ n2L. Perhaps it’s because I have such a soporific soothing effect on people.
I was over at daughter’s today to return an item she left at my house last week. As soon as I walked in the door, she placed the 4-week-old grandson’s grumpy little butt in my arms with a sigh of relief because the cavalry had arrived. I admired the strength of his lungs for a little while, then cuddled him up against me and sang to him until he went to sleep in self-defense. The 3-year-old grandson generously offered to let us take “baby” home with us.

I was just over at Powerline reading the captioning of the Jimmy Carter pic, the one where he looks like ol’ Arafat snuck up behind him for a game of hyena and lion.

That young man needs his mouth washed out.
My grandma used that homemade soap on me. That was some nasty s***.

Oh, no, you don’t, mister. You keep them eyes wide open and start cooking dinner.

God Bless’em all.
For the lighter side of the matter, here’s a call to prayer I did not know about.

8 extremists killed, 2 detained during operations in Baqouba.
North Shore Journal might want to put new batteries in his calculator. It’s High Noon, and the Sheriff is walking down the middle of Main Street.

Good reports, all. In the meantime, I’ve been reading about more oral diarrhea from the former anti-semite in chief from Plains, Georgia.
