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.

They can't even protect the embassy.......

.....so how are they going to protect Iraqi voters. U.S. Embassy in Baghdad Hit by Rocket, Two Dead".
A rocket hit the U.S. embassy compound inside Baghdad's fortified Green Zone on Saturday, killing two people and wounding at least six, a diplomatic source said.

The rocket struck after dark on the eve of Iraq's election. The explosion was heard across Baghdad's city center and sirens sounded in the Green Zone shortly after the attack.
How can you possibly think this entire mis-adventure is anything but a cluster fuck in a quagmire? In his novel Antic Hay, Aldous Huxley had a perfect description of the spin coming from the White House and it's supporters:
"floundering in a quagmire of hypocritical platitudes"
That pretty well sums it up wouldn't you say?
