The Northern Wrestling Alliance

The New Patriots have responded to my charges on Tuesday that they were playing fast and loose with the facts in order to gratuitously disparage the US military's efforts in Iraq.

I haven't had time to thoughtfully read their retort, or compose a response, but now I don't have to. Fellow Northern Alliance member Mitch Berg accepts the tag and comes off the top rope with his piercing rebuttal. He makes most of the points I would have, and then some. So, in short, 'what he said.'

Recognition also goes out to the great Tom Swift, proprietor of Pair O' Dice. He's been mixing it up in the New Patriots comments section, bringing the appropriate amount of rhetorical fire to counter the New Patriots' efforts to use propaganda and willful fact shading in order to erode the will to win among anyone who would bother to read them.

Maybe Hillary was right, it does take a village. Or at least a Three Man Tag Team.
