  Posted by Jenzaka from Times Online
  Nestled deep in George Bush’s latest $190 billion request to Congress for emergency funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is a tantalizing little item that has received scant attention.

  Posted by theangryindian from Think Progress
  The ban began sometime shortly after Aug. 22, when Ret. Maj. Gen. John Batiste was our guest blogger on ThinkProgress. He posted an op-ed that was strongly critical of the President’s policies and advocated a “responsible and deliberate redeployment from Iraq.”

- British Army deploys new weapon based on mass-killing technology
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  A new 'super-weapon' being supplied to British soldiers in Afghanistan employs technology based on the "thermobaric" principle which uses heat and pressure to kill people targeted across a wide air by sucking the air out of lungs and rupturing internal organs.

- Will Army's ray gun see action in Iraq?
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  It's a ray gun that neither kills nor maims, but the Pentagon has refused to deploy it out of concern that the weapon itself might be seen as a torture device.

  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The senior military officer tapped by President Bush to serve as his “war czar” declared in a radio interview last Friday that Washington should consider the reimposition of a military draft to relieve the extreme pressure that the ongoing wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan are inflicting on the US military.

Iraq Contracts Have Cost Taxpayers At Least $85 Billion Since Invasion

Previous reports point out the increase in US forces that would be needed to replace the contractors. They concluded that the contractors saved big bucks. Given that our Military is a Gov bureaucracy at the "contracting for services" level I have no doubt that handling those services in-house would cost lot more more money.

If Betancourt’s assertions are true, then the United States is once again responsible (at least in part) for the setting up of false ‘heroic rescues’ and similar phenomena.
We should not forget that intitial reports from Iraq claimed that Kurdish forces captured Saddam Hussein, who then turned him over to Coalition forces.
Neither should we forget the Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch affairs.

Soldiers' Self-Harm: ‘Anything Not to Go Back’ to Iraq

What about the rising trend of soldiers and Marines who are asking to go back to Iraq after having limbs amputated? Interesting that the article missed this.

If Korean civilians are murdered in a forest and no one hears them fall, is it really a massacre?
