Iraq Timeline
Greyhawk (and Mrs. Greyhawk) at the Mudville Gazette is one of the very best milbloggers out there. He has started assembling a timeline of Iraq events starting in 1979 when Saddam Hussein became president. His primary motivation simply is to begin to correct and rectify the inflamed and inflammatory "Bush Lied" rhetoric being embraced not only by the moonbat left but by Democratic leaders as well.

The 2003 invasion of Iraq is likely to be a contested topic in the American discussion for many years to come. As with any fractious issue, opinions will vary and even individual opinions will shift and change with time. That's a part of the human condition, after all, and one that flourishes in free societies. However, much less admirable efforts by many to obscure their own positions now seem to occur with increasing frequency, as do misquotes of political opponents for personal or "party" gain. Sadly these sorts of things have become common practice among those who bear much of the responsibility for the current situation. Perhaps it has become too much for them to bear, this great and terrible burden of leadership, though stepping aside and letting those of stronger, more determined convictions carry on might be even less palatable to them. Thus history is being rewritten, and free speech is being cheapened by some who employ it the most and cherish it the least - even as Americans fight and die to uphold their rights to do so.
