#1 This is more opinion than news, which is the focus of Rantburg (My son had to track what was happening in the world in 10 categories for a month. Rantburg made taking care of several of those categories a piece o' cake.)

However, it DOES state succinctly the "terrorist honeypot" theory of Iraq that many Rantburgers hold.

God bless our men in uniform over there. My only regret is that Bill Clinton acted to give us fewer of them to appreciate, and that George W. Bush is not hiring more of them for us to appreciate.

#2 It may primarily be an opinion piece, but there's some interesting news in it. Like, for example, the Oliver North report that the Saddam Fedayeen were all non-Iraqi.

#4 Read a discussion that we need to reactivate the two divisions that we deactivated after the Cold War but that it will take 10 years to do so. Is there a quicker way? Could you split a division like the 10th Mountain in two and then fill it out? Could you permanently activate a Reserve Unit and then replace those who wanted to stay Reserve on a one-for-one basis over time? I know very little about army units.
