1 My son is nearing the end of his tour of duty in Iraq, and so far the only shortages he's complained about so far are 1) a shortage of steadfastness amongst the people back home, and 2) a shortage of honesty in the mainstream media and among Democratic Party politicians.

Once again, the anti-American media have tried to manufacture a "scandal" where none exists.

4 Here's what he sent me a couple days ago:

"I have some news for you: Our commander posted a schedule for what's going to happen in the next two months. It includes everything except for the actual date we are flying home. We're moving into tents on December 28th. Our replacements are getting here on January 1st. They start working on January 8th. Although it doesn't say, I think we will probably leave for Kuwait about two weeks after that, and leave for Ft. Dix a week after that. That means we'll probably get to Ft. Dix around the first couple days of February. I can't wait."

I probably won't see much of him when he gets back: he really, REALLY misses his GF.

5 Take him to the O Club. I'm sure it'll be drinks on the house. Thanks to him from a grateful nation.

6 Thanks; I'll pass along the messages-- and encourage him to join the RB gang.
