Alive and well, in a bad mood

Greetings all...hope someone reads this. After a LONG month of moving, starting a new job, etc., I'm back in cyberspace. My wife and I aren't really even set up because of a crazy series of delays, stupidity of others, etc. We'll get there.

Am watching the events in DC with a rueful laugh...both in terms of Iraq and the saga of Scooter. No accountability on either front, really.

Was very saddened and angered to read about the bombing in Armili, near my old base near Tuz Khurmatu. About 150 dead there, making it one of the deadliest events of this war. The area was relatively quiet, by Iraq standards, until the surge began...that forced out all the bad guys in Baghdad to little towns like Tuz and Armili, with predictable results.

All we've done is spread the war around, like throwing a flaming gas can.

I will be back soon...just wanted to let you all know I'm alive and doing fine.

Carry on with your bad mood! Glad to hear you enjoy being that way so much you need to share it. Pain used to manipulate others is an addiction. Get over yourself!

OK, so you waited 7 months to respond to that post, then you do it as "anonymous." Nice.

I take it you aren't ever in a bad mood...or you think the Iraq War (the main thrust of this blog) was the keenest thing the US has ever undertaken.

Wake up!
