Former Sec. of State says Bush would be goner if he invades Syria
“On Sunday, Lawrence Eagleburger, former US secretary of state under George Bush Sr, said the president would last in office 15 minutes if he turned the troops loose on Syria and Iran.”
Lest you get too enthused about Eagleburger:
Halliburton Co. said former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger is retiring from the company’s board on May 21, Dow Jones Newswires reported on Wednesday.
Halliburton, eh?

US denies troops fired on crowd
“Witnesses said US troops fired into a crowd growing increasingly hostile to a speech being given by the town’s newly appointed governor”
There have been anti-US protests in Iraq with several thousand people participating. Just a few peeps about this on U.S. CNN, but with European media covering it more extensively.
Update: The LA Times today has an article on this, U.S. Troops in Mosul Battle Mob, plus a sidebar from a reporter who got stabbed during the melee.
Fighting the good fight

Attention PC command line geeks!
If you use the command line often, then you probably understand why it is so powerful, and how you often can get things done easily at the command line that can be problematic to do in Windows. Even with that, the default command lines in Windows are ok, but nothing great.
If you have no idea what I just said, skip to the next posting! For the rest of you, Take Command is a true geek tool that gives a hugely powerful command line.
Take Command, the venerable command line substitute, is from JPSoft.com. I just upgraded to the latest version, and it’s wonderful. With many new features, and endlessly configurable, Take Command has 1) a truly powerful batch language, 2) greatly enhanced commands (like DIR and COPY), 3) new commands (like SELECT, which allows interactive choice of files for a command), 4) drag and drop of file names from any Windows app, 5) configurable tool bars, 6) command aliases, 7) easy change of directories by just typing the first few letters, 
file descriptions, 9) powerful command line and directory history, and lots more.
