Exciting and sobering at the same time. I wish you a safe trip, and I know you will come up with some great writing out of this.

Lucky bastard.

Happy travels.

How did you clear this with work?

Good deal, Bill.

man. stay safe. You're a courageous man, and I look forward to your dispatches - but please.. don't be a hero, ok?

Bill, Keep your head down at appropriate times. And head up all the rest. Stay safe.

Keeping his head down is something Bill is uniquely qualified for.

I'm in for two bills, Bill. Now only tell us what we want to hear, got it?

Thanks, all. Regarding questions:

How did you clear this with work?

I took time off.

but please.. don't be a hero, ok?

Oh, no reason to worry about that. I've been practicing a maneuver whereby I actually fold myself into my own body, thus reducing to the size of a small breadbasket.

Now only tell us what we want to hear, got it?

I would, but no one wants to read stories about how smart, handsome/pretty and kind my blog readers are ...

i look forward to reading you. ill hit the tip jar when i get paid =)

Bill,
I wish you Godspeed in this. I know you will do fine and be safe. Moreover, i think it will open your eyes--and doors.

Good luck to you, Bill. Good stuff.

Sweet!

Look forward to your dispatches, Bill. If I were 20 years younger, 50 lbs lighter, normal prostrate, drained knee, unslipped disc, hemorrhoid free, and not suffering from the pain and itch of psoriasis, I'd join you.

Rick: Suck it up! How can you pass up the opportunity to come back with new diseases and infestations you're doctor's never seen before?!

Whoa! Kickass! Be careful, Bill, and make sure to let them know how much we appreciate their service.

Oh! Could you try to get their honest opinion on the Iraqi Army? I've been really worried about how well we've been overcoming the cultural issues that lead to such poor military performance in the region.

I am thoroughly envious.. Here's to the trip of a lifetime !

Fair well and stay as safe as possible, of course.

Good luck & Godspeed! And keep practicing that bread basket manuver until you have it perfect.

At least he'll be able to wear his helmet. I had to use mine as a pocketbook in the absence of such.
Oh wait, Bill might want to add a fag-bag to list of kit he's to purchase.

Here, found ya one.

Godspeed and good luck. Keep safe...I just got back from Ramadi and it can be brutal as well as muddy this time of year. Keep your head down and do what they say and come back in one piece...OK? You don't need to be a hero, just get the story right. I envy you. Semper Fi.

Godspeed, Bill. My sister is currently stationed at one of the nicer Baghdad bases. If I didn't have 3 kids under the age of 5, I would seriously be joining up myself. But I'll have to settle for living through you two for the experience. Keep your head low.

Damn, Bill. My hat's off to you, sir. Safe travels.

God keep you safe, Bill.

All the best, Bill.

All you have to do is transplant some of that mutant kudzu weed to confuse the bastards.

Be well and take care of those marines.

I have one son in Fallujah until March, one going to Fallujah in Feb. and one in another area of Iraq.
How can I get your articles? My daughters-in-law don't want me to read about Iraq, but I have to. Please send back some of the good things happening there too. Good luck to you. I'll remember you in my prayers.

How can I get your articles?

Check back here in late December. Whatever isn't published here will be linked here. Thank you. Best wishes to your sons.

I just kicked in enough for a 12-pack of Charmin Double-Rolls, a big bag of Gummy Bears and a couple of glow-sticks. I admit it ain't much, but every little bit helps, right?

Good luck Bill. We all look forward to your reporting.

You got boobies?

To be a citizen journalist, one must have boobies.

No worries - fake ones are okay too.

holy crap Bill. errrr I meant to say Wow. Good move, be careful and bring your own toilet paper, bug spray and baby wipes.

Congratulations Bill.
Keep yer head down at appropriate times,
yer eyes and ears open at all times.
God Bless.

Hi,
TheJawaReport mentioned your
upcoming embeding in Iraq and I just dropped by to wish you luck.
Best

Moonbat Research!
Be safe.

I've disagreed with you in the past but if you are willing to go, I'm willing to help. I've kicked a few bucks your way. Good luck and have a safe trip.

I have a son who is a "ma deuce" gunner with the US Marines 9th Engineer Support Battalion at Camp Falluja. He'd love to have you aboard his patrol vehicle and you'd be sure to see what's really going on. He sends me reports that are encouraging.

Ralph -

E-mail me.

Bill M, et al -

Thank you.

I have to be honest, Bill, I stopped reading your blog months ago for reasons that, at the time, seemed real enough... but now they seem trivial in comparison to the magnitude of what you're about to do. You're site is back on my bookmarks with my sincerest well wishes and genuine anticipation.

mcg -

Thanks buddy. But -

I'm sure that I'll find a way to tick you off in the next month or so, so best just wait to visit INDC until I leave in late Dec. ;-)

Thank you for going after the truth, no matter what it is. I trust bloggers more than I will ever trust those photoshoppers...Godspeed.
