Bill in Direct Contact

… with our Marines in Iraq

INDCJournal: Special Programming Note

Starting in very late December, I’ll be traveling to Western Iraq to embed with the Marines, publishing both independent blog items and op-eds for the Washington Examiner. Specific destinations (thus far) include Ramadi, Habbaniyah (the headquarters of the Iraqi First Army and several IA boot camps), Fallujah and Baghdad. Prioritized is an embed with Military Transition Teams advising First and Seventh Iraqi Army units:

Best wishes to Bill. Pay him (er … his site) a visit, and hit the tip jar. The cost of body armor mounts up.

I’m looking forward to Bill’s unfiltered reports.

    Iraq is a diversion. As the army attacks Iraq, the US gov’t erodes rights at home by suspending habeas corpus, stealing private lands, banning books like “America Deceived” from Amazon, rigging elections, conducting warrantless wiretaps and starting 2 illegal wars based on lies. Soon, another US false-flag operation will occur (sinking of an Aircraft Carrier) and the US will invade Iran, (on behalf of Israel).

    Ben D,

    Are you a left-wing lunatic or a right-wing one? Just wondering.

    Ok, as people probably know I don’t particularly defend the US government, and it’s actions (to put it mildly), but this is just stupid.

    Who banned the book? Be specific - what government agency did it? How did they manage to do so? And why is it still sold at Amazon?

    For the more reality based people, I give the following explanaition. It’s a self-published book, which doesn’t sell, and thus doesn’t get a high listing when you search on the name. Amazon sells vanity published books, because they don’t need to stock them, but nearly no other bookstore do.

    Oh, and if you read the first few pages of the book, at the link provided in the first post, you can understand why it had to be vanity published - worst writing I’ve seen in a long time.
