Mission of Burma kicked all of our asses, and were a close fifth on my list of great acts. Danielson was predictably weird.The Futureheads and Spoon were fine, I guess. The Walkmen were totally irrelevant. Aesop Rock and Mr. Lif were in the wrong place at the wrong time, being rappers and all. Liars were noisy and silly. Art Brut were very British. Ted Leo was rather dull, but he did break his skin on a microphone, so I guess that...

"Right now in Anbar, the focus is on us-the occupying army. If we weren't there, my guess is the local Sunni insurgents would quickly turn against the al-Qaeda terrorists, many of whom are foreigners, and kick them out." That sounded like wishful thinking. I told Webb that most top military strategists-even those appalled by the Bush Administration's feckless prosecution of the war-didn't think...
