I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Let the games begin

The election is over so:
LET THE GAMES BEGIN, Military hospital preparing for Fallujah battle,
Marines say the toll is expected to rival those seen in Vietnam War.
So now you evangelicals, let's talk about "moral virtues" as your sons and daughters, husbands and brothers, friends and relatives start to drop like flies in the sandy quagmire known as Iraq.
WITH U.S. FORCES NEAR FALLUJAH, IRAQ - The number of dead and wounded from the expected battle to retake insurgent-controlled Fallujah probably will reach levels not seen since Vietnam, a senior surgeon at the Marine camp outside Fallujah said Thursday.

Navy Cmdr. Lach Noyes said the camp's hospital is preparing to handle 25 severely injured soldiers a day, not counting walking wounded and the dead.

And in the end, just like Vietnam, it will all have been for nothing. Not even the greedy aspirations of the Neocons will be realized.
