Bad news.

Apparently the private computer Internet server company that I normally post my blogs on (but not "Blogger" itself) has apparently thought me and the other people in my HQ platoon that use it did something wrong. Whether by not paying at the right time or too much Internet usage, I have no clue. It also put back one of the larger blog projects I was wanting to post.

Good news is that apparently it's possible for other soldiers to see my sight again on their computers, where if not the most of the viewers on average are, at least make up most of the more regular ones.

In other news since my last post:

The United Nations calls for an "impartial investigation into allegations its soldiers took part in the rape of women in Darfur last December", or else it will send more angry letters.

The BBC has canceled a 90 minute drama of Britain's first surviving Victoria's Cross recipient (the British Army equivalent of the Medal of Honor) do to it being "too positive". Don't worry though. I heard "Confessions of an Iran Hostage" will have a second season put into production.

John McCain releases an editorial on his latest visit to Iraq and his position on the Iraq war. Needless to say, Senator/Imaginary Multi-National Coalition Forces in Iraq Commander Harry Reid will throw a fit about this.

(By the way, a not-so-short article on John McCain is in the works for this blog.)

Meanwhile, after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi went on a much-hyped trip to Syria to say howdy to Syria, Congresswoman Pelosi now says she is considering to have "a dialogue" with Iran, who I remind you is the main supplier of EFPs, the most deadly kind of IEDs. Iran denies this, but can't seem to answer for the fact that the EFPs show up mostly in the more Iran friendly Shite areas of Iraq rather than the Sunni ones. As someone who had almost lost a fellow soldier and good friend to an EFP , which was probably smuggled from Iran, I find the fact of her even considering it obscene.

And last but not least, a John Brummett article about Congressman Marion Berry says that the Congressman has heard "nary a peep" about any criticism about his support for using the "power of the purse" to withdraw troops from Iraq.

Yes, Congressman Berry, it is hard to hear "a peep" from halfway around the world, but if you didn't hear my whole argument about causing a logistical nightmare and risking the very same local national guard troops you say you support, well, don't you worry. I'll do it again soon, but just because this Army supply guy supports the troops too.

(p.s. In this article/interview, he apparently shows support towards Pelosi's prior and possible future trips to speak with leaders of Syria and Iran respectively, about four paragraphs from the bottom.)
