24/7 Iraq news site launches
A new site, IraqSlogger.com, offers Iraq news links, original reporting and opinion, and is aiming to be "the world's premier Iraq-focused information source." The site, which officially launches this week, is run by former CNN news chief Eason Jordan and produced by a staff with experience in both journalism and the military.

an event of such magnitude deserves a 24/7 news site

I have read much of the war of our independence lately. The idea that men and women of the age put their lives on hold to participate in a greater good. They took upon themselves that they would stand against those that would tell them what they could and could not do regardless of their own righteous views. In that same war a much larger country stood with us, for whatever their reasons good or bad, they stood for freedom. More importantly they stood with us even when we were losing badly in what many in the US know as a different war, the war of 1812. Historians know this to be just a continuation of an age old conflict we had been drawn into. The fact is the French could have let us bleed on our own and it would have benefited them. Instead they stayed to their word as allies and friends and fought with us.
Today we are at a similar crossroads. We the great nation may not have gone to Iraq with the greatest intentions of our leaders. Revenge, Oil, Self protection whatever it may have been we might not know. The fact is we gave the people the glimpse of freedom. Seven years later we say our lives have become to expensive and too inconvenienced to continue.
The fact that people want to be free to speak their mind a right that many take for granted in our country. We gave Iraq that ability and now wish to cut and run. Leaving their country to the civil war that will in all probability lead to is control by Iran. A country that preaches Islam (a religion of peace) with such force that those that would speak against their teaching find their heads cleaved from their bodies.
Do we really want to be the nation that swung the first punch in a fight and then ran away to let our smaller friend take a beating? The reason being that we no longer believed in why we threw the punch? The fact is we are americans we live and die for freedom every day. How can we allow those we fought side by side with be alone in their time of need because of the hardship it brings to us? How can we let ourselves be more cowardly then the French? As an american I find that unacceptable and I hope those that read this will as well.
