Sean Kay drops by for a Prine of Departure interview. He talks NATO, Obama and my favorite topic, Ireland. And his words are magically delicious!

Codename “Crabapple” takes Line of Departure to the woodshed. Ouch, that hurts!

President Obama is going to give a speech about troop reductions in Afghanistan. But it’s largely meaningless. Five points to consider.

Gentle readers, the time has come for an intervention. Mike Yon might have finally gone bonkers. My thoughts on the Hundred Years War of Yonotopia.

What’s the deal with Juan Cole? He wanted the war in Libya he got. I guess in the end, Cole just wanted a whole lot more war.
