Evidently, this year’s class at the Command General Staff College (CGSC) on Ft. Leavenworth (where my husband teaches) is expected to make “intelligent” comments on blogs. As a result, I’ve been hit by a slew of email requests for pointers on where to comment. God forbid you guys actually do your own thinking, eh?

Anyway. I can’t speak for other bloggers, but here are some entries of mine that are relevant to your courses. These are all from my “War College Primer” series, authored before I realized that no one really expects me to think deeply anymore:

• Timeline: Iraq Between The Wars (a chronological, hyperlinked time line of the reasons why, even without WMDs, we needed to get Saddam out of there.
• Iman and I Debate The War
• Primer: Military Ops in Urban Terrain
• Primer: Chemical Weapons and Field Response
• Quick Primer: Saddam’s Top Units
• Battle of Basra: A Quick Primer on Shiites

Of course, my War Bites category probably counts, too, but you probably want to steer clear of my Rumsfeld bites category unless, like me, you think the man’s an asstard.

If you think you are actually capable of making an intelligent comment, email me (see the Contact link above) and I’ll re-open the comments long enough for you to type something of interest.
