Gates lauds Afghan mission, allies
Gates is correct in so far as the southern part of Afghanistan is more difficult to secure (largely due to the porous border with Pakistan) and therefore success is more difficult to realize than in other parts of Afghanistan. By this reasoning one could say that the French and Germans operating in fairly safe and secure areas have been the most successful.
2. Gates is tacitly justifying the deployment of more US forces to the southern area - in effect saying that this area needs greater troop concentration.
3. Gates is correct in so far as the Canadians (apart from JTF2) have only been engaged in COIN since 2005 prior to that being deployed under ISAF in Kabul. Their learning curve is difficult and steep (with the greatest number of casualties occurring in the first six months of deployment).
Responding to the Jack Lynch Non-Story
Facts do not equal truth, and if you want to argue the position that they do, you will likely feel as if you won, but truth will have lost. It is a fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and we can make all sorts of observations about this and make claims such as "the sun rotates around the earth" or "we are the center of the universe." More exploration, however, tells us that not only does the earth actually rotate around the sun, but the illusion of the sun's rotation originates with our planet spinning on our own axis. In general, newspaper work doesn't require this much exploration or science, and I would hope the Spokesman-Review would care more about whether they can be as accurate as possible more than they do about whether they can claim dibs on being the first to report on a topic.
Jakey G Sharpens His Puzzle Skills
Jakey G was a smiley boy after grabbing some food at Urth Cafe in Beverly Hills on Monday. We're not quite sure if it was the weather or just the joy of wearing his favorite sweatshirt, but we're just happy to see him in good spirits. He brought along a newspaper for some quiet time alone, but we bet doing the crossword puzzle is even more fun with Reese lending a helping hand. .
King Liberal..with every passing day...
These questions surface in the wake of her victories in New York-New Jersey-Massachusetts and in California-Arizona and her defeats everywhere else except in her former native state of Arkansas and its two next-door neighbors, Tennessee and Oklahoma. In the first flush of her California victory, it seemed Clinton had a clear path to the nomination. But the picture looks different on closer examination a day later. While she was winning the dwellings of America's elite, Obama was sweeping everyplace else - Utah, Idaho, Minnesota, Illinois, North Dakota, Kansas and Colorado, many of them states with virtually no black population. And his success in Missouri, Alabama and Georgia show that he continues to dominate Southern states with their large minority populations. Why is Clinton doing so poorly in the heartland? There, away from the liberal media and establishment bias and from the coastal immigrant and Latino concentrations, she seems at a loss.
Reporter’s Notebook
The second night after, what now appears to have been a suicide bombing in Al-Mosky neighborhood of Al-Azhar, I was still having trouble sleeping. I lay in bed, eyes wide open for close to an hour, thinking about what it might feel like to die. Perhaps employing some sort of self-defense mechanism, my mind repeated verses from the Quran about how were all going to eventually experience death, and how its all written before were even born. .
Pre-Grammy Party PDA: Suck-Face Bonanza!
Stars were feeling frisky at FUSE TV's pre-Grammy party at Goa Thursday night. Sundance suck-face partners Paris Hilton and Simon Rex left together holding hands, but Simon told me their relationship is purely platonic. "It's just a little kiss for a picture we did as a joke," he told me of their Park City PDA. "It was just for fun. She's a good friend. We're not dating." Yeah, because I always greet my friends by slipping them tongue. Inside the bash, Simon and Paris were swapping spit yet again. They must be really good friends. Also getting amorous were Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish. The two undercover lovers refused to take pics but were making out in a booth right by the dance floor. They were joined by Ry's BFF Breckin Meyer, who was dancing to Soulja Boy's "Crank That" with the couple.

doubleTwist makes DRM-stripping, sharing easy as pie
DVD Jon is growing up. He's no longer helping geeks free their media from DRM—he wants to make it easy enough for our parents to use, too. Through a new venture called doubleTwist, DVD Jon (Jon Lech Johansen) and partner Monique Farantzos have already released a desktop and web application that makes stripping DRM from some of the world's most popular formats—including Windows Media DRM and iTunes' FairPlay—as easy as drag-and-drop. "When you receive an e-mail, you can read it on your Blackberry, web mail, or Outlook. E-mail just works," said Farantzos in a statement. "With digital media such as video from a friend’s cell phone or your own iTunes playlists, it’s a jungle out there. It can be an hour-long exercise in futility to convert files to the correct format and transfer them to your Sony PSP or your phone.
