Switching to Word Press Tonight

I’m going to make the move tonight. I hope there are no problems, but who knows. I have some great people in place handling the technical side. The new template will look very similar to this one. On Radio Userland, I just passed the 50 million hits mark and that’s pretty amazing to me. I want to thank all the readers, comment monitors, Mike’s Blog Round Up and all the people who lend their constant support to C&L that has made it one of the top blogs in the world.

The boys who cried wolf?

Dick Cheney said yesterday that the group of would-be terrorists caught in Miami were “a very real threat.” Except, after scratching beneath the surface just a little, there’s ample reason to believe that’s not the case.

Anyone who claims that the administration just broke up a plot to attack the Sears Tower is overstating what’s occurred here. The “Miami 7″ could hardly attack a convenience store .

The boys who cried wolf?

What a complete ass. Margaret Beckett pulled a classic Blair/Bush spin this past week but as one expects from that crowd, facts do not match reality. The British troops are finding themselves caught up in the middle of the violence and are being pushed out by local militias. The relative calm that used to be common in the British section has fallen victim to the regular cycles of violence from the American region.Lieutenant General Nick Houghton told the Commons defence committee: “There is a worrying amount of violence and murder carried out between rival Shia factions. There is no doubt that it has got worse of late, due to the protracted period of talks to form the government.”Since a spate of bomb attacks against them last autumn, British forces have largely kept out of the centre of Basra. Much of the police force in the south has been taken over by Shia militias who often clash with one another as well as intimidating ordinary people and attacking what is left of the Sunni community in the south.UK Foreign Minister’s “mission accomplished” sounds familiar
