Milbloggers Interview President Bush
PJM ROUNDUP: Military bloggers describe their meeting with the President.
September 14, 2007 - 6:30 am
Bill Ardolino: “I was surprised by Bush’s command of details in Anbar and his recognition of certain problems. This leads me to believe that subordinates down the chain of command are working to address the problems.”
Bill Roggio: “I posed the following question to President Bush: We are fighting hot wars on two major fronts: Iraq and Afghanistan. In both conflicts, there are safe havens fueling the insurgencies in these nations.”
Blackfive: “Yes, it was surreal sitting in a meeting with the President and then having him ask us what we thought of the Oval Office.”
It would be nice if you linked to ALL the bloggers who met with the President yesterday, not just the ones approved by Pajamas Media.
My husband, John Donovan, was in attendance, his blog is Argghhh! and the link is http://www.thedonovan.com.
The Mudville Gazette was also represented by Mrs. Greyhawk.
Iraq the Model was represented by Mohammed.
And so on.
I know because I went to the White House with the MilBloggers and I had a wonderful, private tour of the White House while they visited with the President.
Sorry, Beth, we will work to correct. Obviously, this was not a case of only those “approved” by Pajamas Media since Mohammed is an editor for this site and writes on these pages frequently. We only linked the ones we knew about at the time. No discrimination intended.
Bill Reggio Rocks!

The Marine And The Professor
September 11th, 2007
By: Poole Score
A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”
——-
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was a vowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes.”
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still waiting.” It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, “What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?”
The Marine calmly replied, “God was too busy today protecting America’s soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid crap and act like an asshole. So, He sent me.”
