TMH’s Bacon Bits (The MaryHunter) D-Day: Profound Sacrifice and Courage — “Twelve years ago today, my wife and I, giddy newlyweds honeymooning in Paris, were witnesses to somber celebrations around le Tour Eiffel and other Parisian sites commemorating the 50th anniversary of “Jour-J” or D-Day. It was moving indeed to see groups of World War II veterans, adorned in their medaled regalia and often carrying banners or American flags, surveying the capital city of a nation that they helped to liberate from the Third Reich half a century before. The gratitude expressed by the locals was palpable, and we joined in with our sincere thanks for their sacrificing so much that the West might be kept free.”
Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Iraqi Judge Tires Of Saddam Defense Obstructionism — “The question remains as to whether a trial for his crimes can successfully conclude with all of these obstructionist tactics used by the attorneys, and so far the answer appears to be yes. Those who have convinced themselves of a basic injustice in hauling Saddam before this tribunal will never be convinced, of course, but the Ramsey Clarks of this world have made themselves irrelevant anyway. So far, the presiding judge has performed better than his predecessor in forcing the defense to actually work on the trial rather than use the dock as a launch platform for Saddam’s political rants.”
The Jawa Report (Vinnie) June 6th, 1944 — “Forget the “Omen” crap. June 6th, no matter what year, will always be a special day.”
