Kesher Talk

Latest interesting war stuff. Blogging in the Weiss household has been bumpy lately. First, Glenn refers to a CP post of mine from 2 days ago in his interview on CNN. Cool. But then, I find out I can't open Command Post because of some browser glitch. Not cool. Then, I have a life for a day or two. Cool. Then I download a not-quite-ready-for-prime-time Netscape Navigator release which isn't dumbfounded by whatever is freezing IE (cool) and which has many wonderful bells and whistles (cool) but which frequently unexpectedly quits (not cool).

All to say that I haven't been posting to Command Post much lately but will resume probably tomorrow, and here's some more war stuff with shelf life:

Oxblog posts a reader's letter approving General Franks' strategy. This analysis compares General Franks' strategy to some historical battles and claims that the "pause" was deliberate.

How did the coalition forces get so far so fast, considering that as late as Monday they appeared to be stalled in their advance north, and questioning of the war plan ruled the day? A bit of military history will help to explain it, as will some necessary corrections to the view of coalition forces leader General Tommy Franks as an unimaginative general officer.

According to the UK tabloid The Sun, their readers are a bit upset at the posturings of MP George Galloway. Maybe the Mirror will hire Galloway as a back up to Peter Arnett.

Command Post reviews what photojournalist codes of ethics say about manipulating photos.
