  • Too bad the fix is gone

    In between checking for updates on the Warroom and other features, I enjoyed the near daily ritual of reading the fix. In many cases it provided better topics for lighthearted conversation than the other news and analysis.

    My guess it that, while they may not like to admit it -- lord, knows my wife teased me about whether I'd learned such and such from "the fix" -- many of your most avid readers will be disappointed to learn of this decision.

  • Note from active duty officer

    Glenn,

    Not only am I an officer but also a fan of your column. It's unfortunate, however, that GEN Patreus' testimony -- and perhaps more importantly its use by the Bush Administration to provide "credibility" and political cover for a series of failed policies in the war on terror -- has resulted in a situation where you feel it's worthwhile to respond to this supposed Cpl whoever.

    He doesn't speak for me. I don't agree with his criticism. I hope that you and your readers understand that the military is not a monolithic conservative organization. Don't let guys like Cpl whatever bait you into thinking otherwise.
