as my father likes to remind me, "War is 90% boredom and 10% crazy adrenaline rush...", sadly to say I have hit boredom way too often lately. Yesterday that you may have heard in the new were complex bombing in Mosul and Baghdad. most CFs were ok but messed up some local Iraqis. We are going to see this near the end, but after just hearing the new president's plan to fulfill his promise to withdraw the BCTs from Iraq, it looks like an unavoidable victory for the insurgents in Iraq. as long as they keep up bombing and attacks from time to time they will claim to be the victors that endured longer in the fight then the Americans. Iraq as we know it now will crumble due to corruption. Think about it. an army is as strong as its logistics. Iraq's logistics are corrupt from top to bottom. We leave and the corruption continues until the army is broke and shoeless. Moral is down and operations slow to a halt. with no operations the insurgency wins and takes control of local areas all the way to the tops of national government. (I'm sure plenty of politicians wont even frown at the influx of terrorist supported money. as long as their pockets are fat.)
Depending on how the propaganda is spread of the insurgent victory, terrorist cells all over the world will gain hope and strength. then it starts all over..... maybe in a different country.... maybe on our own soil?
If you read revelations (and I'm just speculating) maybe Gog and Magog are not the vast armies with countless ranks and weapons, but an idea of fear and corruption that first rot the ancient lands, then the world. hasn't this always been the way of the devil. Whisperings of dark ideas in dark rooms?
sorry to sound so negative but these are dangerous times....

Hey bro, I've been AWOL myself for the past few weeks from checking out your blog, and until I caught up on your posts, I didn't know how much I missed it. Anyway, if you're 90% bored out there I've just read what I think is my favorite book ever: Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. It's also the longest book I've ever read besides the scriptures, but man is it worth the read. Great story combined with huge philosophical and economic themes that are surprisingly applicable to our days, though the book was released in 1957. Check it out to fill your boredom with something productive, and to chat with me about.
