Good News Update
Here's more Iraq good news via an e-mail from Michael Yon & Matt Sanders(a new embed to me!) (hat tip: Dawn Patrol at Mudville Gazette...use link on right side of Dagney's Rant). Here's an exerpt from Michael's e-mail;
"When earlier this year I wrote about the 1-4 CAV transforming an abandoned seminary in a Baghdad neighborhood that had been decimated by civil war, the "surge" had not even begun; but already pundits, politicians and editors had declared it a failure. Though I'd spent only a few days with LTC Crider and his 1-4 CAV soldiers at the new COP Amanche, I ended the dispatch on a note of hope based on observation. I recently received an email from LTC Crider with an update on thatBaghdad
I was in al Basra province when I saw news reports claiming that Basra city had descended into chaos in the wake of an announcement about the draw down of British Soldiers. I emailed the facts aboutBasra
There are major developments to share with readers in upcoming dispatches. If things go at-least-mostly according to plan (which is all we can hope for in war), and if I can rely on the help of readers who share my frustration with the lack of accurate reporting, we can significantly widen the stream of news flowing fromIraq
Judging from their ire in the House today, as the veto override was defeated, they are not learning a dadgum thing! In the meantime, go visit Michael site, and give him a buck or two. I set it up so he gets a monthly "subscription" amount from me. Afterall, he's doing the job our drive-by media refuses to do...with the exception of talk radio! My husband buys a daily newspaper that is nearly as left as NYT, why shouldn't I pay for a subscription to read what is written by a hero like Michael?

How did you set it up so that he would get a monthly payment? I hate paypal. It's as if they want me to get a new credit card everytime I use it!
Great post.

Click on his link, and instead of paying with a paypal account, which I do have for Soldiers Angels, go to the option. It asked me if I wanted to make it recurring, and I said "yes". It set me up from there.
