I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

The Al Qaeda plot thickens We'll probably be seeing all kinds of fascinating documents filtering out from Iraq for a year or two. We're already seeing documentation of crappy dealings between Hussein's intelligence service and some of our supposed allies.
Most intriguing so far is this document found by British journalists in the ruins of Iraqi intelligence hq detailing meetings with a representative for Al Qaeda, and even preliminary plans to bring in Bin Laden himself. Read all about it HERE and HERE.
Weapons of mass destruction were the top reason sited for the invasion of Iraq, but that's only because the administration was careful not to artificially pump up connections between Iraq and Al Qaeda that we might not be able to document. Al Qaeda are the direct ones who attacked us on 9/11, so connections to this group will be the most sound moral and international legal justifications possible for a military action.
In other words, a few documents like this will go a long way toward silencing any lingering possible doubts about the legitimacy of having invaded Iraq. Such documentation would seem to be even better justification for our efforts than finding WMDs, which we certainly will do also.
There are some few whose political thought processes consists only of the words "AMERICA BAD" who will never approve of our actions no matter what. For everyone else, though, more proof of the appropriateness of the administration's choices appears daily.
