The CPA-predicts-Iraqi-civil-war scandal jumps off | George Pataki, jackass | The GOP's latest b-tch move | Iraqi Idol 

Jason Vest argues in his article "Fables of the Reconstruction" that Iraq's chances of seeing democracy succeed have been severely imperiled by a year's worth of serious errors on the part of the Pentagon and the CPA. A Coalition memo reveals that even true believers see the seeds of civil war in the occupation of Iraq. (Village Voice)

Kerry Releases Some Records On His Service In Vietnam War. (Washington Post) How much of a non-issue is this? Son has multiple purple hearts and a silver star (I might have that reversed). Meanwhile Bush couldn't even complete the full service commitment in the National Guard in Georgia that his pops hooked up to get him out of the Draft. I can't even believe there's any kind of debate around Kerry's ability to be an effective leader in the war on terror, on national security or as Commander-in-Chief. Yet one more b-tch move from the GOP, they should be ashamed of themselves for even going here.

But CNN's Carlos Watson says Kerry's inner circle lacks color. (CNN.com)

It's clear now: George Pataki is a f-cking idiot. The window he ever had for a shot at running for the GOP nomination for president has long since closed so now he has to make jackass comments like this for attention: Pataki Blames Dems for Pre-9/11 Failures. (Fox News)

Iraqi Idol. (Village Voice)

And finally, I generally want to punch George Will when I read his bi-weekly op-ed's in Newsweek but I think I actually agree with much of his latest one "Shock and Awe in Iraq." Here's a great quote:
U.S. Army Sgt. James Amyett told The Washington Post, 'I guess the Iraqis didn't get the memo that the war is over.'
