#1 One of the neat things that I've found is that Central Command issues daily press releases. Of course, we never see them in the media, but they are on the Net.

Central Command

Police Blotter May 27

Aid Progress May 27

I've been putting them up on my blog because I don't think they're getting seen enough. I got a kick out of the raid on the "chop shop" on today's blotter.

#2 The UN's most senior humanitarian official in Iraq warned yesterday that US attempts to rebuild the country were overly dominated by "ideology" and risked triggering a violent backlash.

Is there any particular reason why yet another UN official should be listened to??

#4 UPDATED REPORT ON ATTACK AT AL FALLUJAH

CAMP DOHA, Kuwait -- An updated report confirmed that another soldier was killed and two more injured following the attack on a U.S. Army unit in Al Fallujah early this morning.

An initial report indicated only one soldier was killed and seven others wounded. This brings the total to two soldiers killed and nine wounded.

The attack began when a hostile force of unknown size attacked a U.S. Army unit in Al Fallujah earlier this morning with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms.

U.S. Army soldiers responded decisively with concentrated fire from Bradley Fighting Vehicles, crew-served weapons and small arms. They killed two attackers and captured six others.

Initial reports indicate the attackers fired from a mosque in the city.

The wounded soldiers were evacuated by both ground and air to military aid stations in the area.

#5 Having the UN hire ex Baathists to 'help rebuild Iraq' would be poet.

#6 Miffed that their gold booty was confiscated before its arrival at the 'Iranian Bribe Office' militant religious members, using a sharia eddict, triggered a violent backlash. Firing from a mosque known as a pious place of whoreship

#7 Sad to say, but we didn't kill enough bad people in the war. Iraq doesn't realize it has been defeated.
Too many thugs are still running around there spreading rhetorical poison; soon maybe real poison.
