Catch up

I've been too tied up to post much of late but here's some of what I've been reading tonight:

• Beard for bin Laden (via TPM)
• Steve Clemons discusses the Chafee victory over at The Washington Note
• Digby has something to say about Pimping the Greatest Generation
  
• Brilliant piece from Newsweek dissecting Bush's more obvious rhetorical stylings
• Instapundit does his usual 'link and run' to this writ on the Syrian embassy attack, which may or not be true... but where there are no supporting source links I tend to categorize it as opinion...
• The Iraq-Iran circle of love, by Glenn Greenwald
• More troops in Anbar? Mission un-Accomplished
  
• More troops in Afghanistan? (didn't we already win this one?)
