Catching up

I am a bad blogger, and haven't been keeping up my output. So some more quick links:

-Tom Tomorrow reminds us of the stupidity of early 2003.

-The US General Staff: Losing the war, again.

-The Israeli government really, really, really fucked up last summer.

That second link in particular is worth reading in full, if you didn't catch it from other bloggers. A good explanation of what, exactly, senior military officers are supposed to do, and how the US Army is failing at basic competencies.
