It's about that time again...

Freedom's Watch

I was contacted recently via email in a blogger outreach program run by Vigilant Freedom regarding the new ad campaign being launched by Freedom's Watch in an effort to help the average American understand what victory means and why it's important. I'd like to share with you part of that email message: Today, those of us who believe we must win the war on terror have an extraordinary opportunity. Freedom’s Watch has released several moving and emotional commercials to major television and radio outlets from veterans and their families - people who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Moveon.org will talk a lot about quitting and giving up in Iraq. But what they won’t discuss – and in truth, what they just don’t care about – is the overwhelming cost of U.S. and Iraqi lives and security if we give up too soon and lose this war. I heard one of the ads airing on a local talk radio station this afternoon and saw that same ad on television this evening. That ad was thought-provok

Surge, surge, surge, surge is the word...

I have been waaaaay behind on posting the good news from the battlefield lately. CENTCOM has kept up with all the news and continues to send it my way though. The news according to the facts I'm getting has been overwhelmingly good ever since the actual surge date hit! Heck, it's actually been good enough to warrant notice even from the truth-dodgers (read "Lefties") in this country. Shocking, isn't it? ;-) Big congratulations are in order for our troops and the multi-national forces (MNF) in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as for the good people of Iraq and Afghanistan who are helping to take their freedom back from terrorists. I don't know about you all but I certainly haven't seen much (if any) of this news broadcast in the mainstream media... so, allow me to send some of it your way now! I know you'll enjoy hearing about these successes in our current surge strategy on the Iraqi front... CITIZEN SACRIFICES LIFE TO THWART SUICIDE BOMBER Release Date:

"Must See" YouTube TV!

I suppose the whole Jello Wars thing is getting old to those of you who one day expect me to get back to meaningful political commentary. *sigh* Guess what? I'm about to disappoint you on the political front right now... ;-) One of my highly creative friends, Adam, used video footage of our Jello Wars event back on 7-7-07 to create YouTube commercial spots for The Alexander Group . These are "must see" spots for anyone curious about the "action" on the battlefield that day! (Naturally, this geekgirl's favorite is the Star Wars-esque second clip). Enjoy!!

Murtha owes US Marines an apology!

From " Innocent at Haditha " by Ben Johnson of FrontPage Magazine : [...] Last May, John Murtha held a press conference accusing our soldiers of slaughtering 24 Iraqis – including women and children – in the town of Haditha in late November 2005. He guaranteed an investigation would determine “[o]ur troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood.” His words ricocheted around the Arab world, as Al Jazeera dutifully quoted him . This “pressure,” Murtha said, could be ended by bringing troops home. The government eventually charged four men with “unpremeditated murder.” On August 9th, the military dismissed all charges against one of the remaining three Marines accused of murder. [Note: actually against TWO of the three Marines] Indeed, Lt. Gen. James Mattis went further than finding Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt not guilty; he called the 22-year-old “innocent.” He concluded his statement by noting Sharratt “has always remaine
