Just got Moment of Truth in Iraq in the mail the other day.
Thanks for all your hard and dangerous work, Michael.

Ed will this be podcasted? I would like to listen but I won’t be able to. :(

If you really want to get some insight on the forest and not just on some of the trees, and remembering as they say, “the more things change, the more they stay the same”, read H.R. McMaster’s book, “Dereliction of Duty”. You can get it used on http://www.amazon.com for only about $4 plus $4 shipping, such a deal, then maybe read Yon’s book.

Thanks Michael for writing the book. I truly felt at times like I was right there with you in the fight! My heart was racing! Only time I put it down was to wipe the tears.
I am so proud of our men and women who serve our country and you too Michael, thank you for your service, on both sides of the line.

I asked Douglas J. Feith, What did these gentlemen think the United States would ultimately get out of Iraq in exchange for our massive investment of blood and treasure? And had they learned anything to make them doubt the president’s often-repeated promise that Iraq would become an “ally” in the “war on terror”? Shrug. Not interested in answering.

BTW, you may not want to buy Douglas J. Feith’s (number 3 man at the Pentagon) new book, “War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism” as he is the one about whom Tommy Franks said, “He is rapidly getting a reputation around here as being the dumbest #ucking guy on the planet.” I guess he beat out Paul Wolfowitz (number 2 man at the Pentagon) for that honor.

“Vent - With Michelle Malkin”
Ah, the good old days.

From the nose down, Mr. Yon looks like Owen Wilson from the movie “Behind Enemy Lines”.

By the way, Micheal Yon and Micheal Totten are the two best reporters on Earth and should be hailed as heroes for standing with our brave troops and getting us the REAL story.

Owen Wilson is lucky to look like Michael Yon, because he sure doesn’t have the character.

Nice job, Ed.

Michael Yon is so much hotter. Especially in camo. I’m dying over here.

Michael Yon is a total fox!

I am so glad to see Michael Yon’s photo…and the substance is always good. I tuned in for a lot of it and thought about forwarding it but I don’t know why we need to see other people with head phones on and I don’t think it’s helpful to say we need to “promote the shit out of it”. That is what stopped me from forwarding the link.

Thanks for all you’re doing but for this particular subject, is there a way to get a link to Yon’s webcam diary and just get that, even with all the ads and whatever is included.
