A smorgasboard of interesting things...

Just tossing some fast (and not-so-fast) links for your perusal...

Bloomberg News reports that military contractors are looking to make billions selling weapons systems to "Middle East monarchies".

The Army finally responds to the Walter Reed situation. How long would they have let this go on had the media not reported it? Don Imus has been killing the Bush cabal about this all week. He's asked the administration to allow him to tour the facility; it should be no surprise to anyone that they will not allow him to have unfettered access.

The LA Times reports the real reason the British are pulling out of Iraq - no surprise here as well, their troops are overstretched. In addition, their presence hasn't made the Basra area any safer.

Dick Cheney thinks that Britain's withdrawal shows progress in the war. CBS' Bob Schieffer knows otherwise.

In Michael Savage Weiner's world, interviewing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes Diane Sawyer a "whore". Her not asking him how he could deny the Holocaust makes her a Holocaust denier as well. There's only one problem... She DID ask him about his beliefs about the Holocaust! Shocking!!!
