File under: Iraqi Insurgency

#1 The UN Security Councils routine mid-year review of the mandate of the U.S.-led multi-national force resulted in its continuation as requested by Iraq.

Wait a minute! The liberals and Democrats are telling us this is an illegal war. Bush invaded Iraq illegally. The UN supported our efforts? How can that be?

The Democrats and liberals re-write history on a daily basis as suits their purpose which is the defeat of the U.S. and allies.

#3 Minor nit but important if you are going to report on military matters.

"one division headquarter"

The word is "headquarters" even when in the singular. Think of it like where a person stays ... their quarters. Headquarters is where the head people stay, it is their quarters.

Like I said, a minor nit, but to someone with any military background at all, seeing someone write "one division headquarter" might case them to disregard the information as coming from someone that has no idea what they are talking about.

Just consider it constructive criticism and a little coaching to improve future reports. Overall, nice job.

#4 Oh, and I realize the original source is the state dept, which explains a lot, but I would have either corrected it in the post here or added (sic).
