Oh, and I was very annoyed at all those people at Microsoft that wanted to pretend they were soldiers. As was once written "I thought them all liars."

And of course, there is that unpleasantness about Rove, Libby, et.al leaking Plame's identity to the press in a shocking attempt to discredit a critic of Bush's leadership. Not only are they retaliating against me for my comments on that, but because I am a critic too. I suspect my email back in 2003 were I was talking in an email about the Iraqis being smart, along with that weird tip I got about email being forwarded to an account with Texas in it. I wonder if that is what triggered that whole "cakewalk" business.
I think most of us expected a George H.W. Bush version of Iraq but instead we got a Saddam "Mother of All Battles" version of Iraq, just a decade later and a different Bush.

Showy ex-diplomat now better known as spouse of CIA agent

WASHINGTON - Former diplomat Joseph Wilson used to tell reporters he felt certain how his obituary would read. It went: "Joseph C. Wilson IV, who was the last American diplomat to meet with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, died . . . "
But "it seems to change," Wilson said Tuesday. He has kept mentally revising the obituary to keep up with the political maelstrom over Iraq policy and White House leaks that is swirling around him.
A recent version began: "Joseph C. Wilson IV, the Bush I administration political appointee who did the most damage to the Bush II administration, . . . "
The current version goes: "Joseph C. Wilson IV, the husband of the spy the White House outed, . . . "
Wilson, 53, is also now known as the man the CIA sent to Niger in February 2002 to investigate rumors that Saddam was trying to buy uranium there - and who came back with denials from Niger officials. As President Bush repeated the allegation - most prominently in the so-called "16 words" in the State of the Union address in January - Wilson said, he grew increasingly perplexed. And by July, he was annoyed enough to say publicly that U.S. officials had exaggerated the public case for invading Iraq.
At the time, he said he feared that the White House would retaliate. It allegedly did when administration officials called reporters to identify Wilson's wife as a clandestine CIA operative.
As the world now knows, Wilson is married to Valerie Wilson, nee Plame. She is his third wife. She is 40 and the mother of their 3-year-old twins. In the photos in his office, she has the looks of a film star.
"She is really quite amazing," Wilson said. "We were just discussing today who would play her in the movie," he cracked.

Joint Strike Fighter Named Lightning II
The Deputy Secretary of Defense, Gordon England, and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley announced today ‘Lightning II’ as the F-35 name during a Joint Strike Fighter inauguration ceremony in Fort Worth, Texas.
Moseley made the final decision after an extensive nomination and review process that was coordinated with the other military services and partner nations.
In naming the F-35 General Moseley said, "Today, the enemies of peace and freedom have been put on notice. They have feared this day because the F-35 provides the coalition warfighter the perfect blend of speed, precision, and stealth.
"In my travels, airmen have given me some great suggestions that we'll see on new Air Force weapons systems in the near future," he said. "The name for the F-35, ‘Lightning II,’ was a win for aviation heritage and culture."
The heritage associated with this name played a significant role in its selection. The original P-38 ‘Lightning’ was also a strike fighter and had the most air-to-air kills in the Pacific area of responsibility in World War II. Both of America’s top two aces, Maj. Richard Bong, with 40 kills, and Maj. Thomas McGuire, with 38 kills, scored all their victories in the P-38 ‘Lightning’ in World War II.
The ‘Lightning II’ name also draws parallels with a formidable force of nature. Like lightning, the F-35 ‘Lightning II’ will strike with destructive force. The stealth characteristics of the jet will allow the F-35 to strike the enemy with accuracy and unpredictability.
