I’m hard at work trying to create a new blogroll and then a separate links page ( which frankly, is as much for my blogging convenience as anything else). Patience, patience….it may take me a few days.

This site has not “officially” started yet so, if you are a regular reader and you are here by invitation or by accident, there’s a lot of “rough edges” and unfinished business at present. Much work still needs to be done but feel free to look around.

Many irons in the fire this morning and I’m slurping down coffee fast and furiously but here it is:

Top Billing! abu muqawama – “Petraeus Picks the Next Generation”

I hereby promote this gentleman to the status of ” daily read”. You should too.

Adam Elkus – “Resilience and American Security

Nice piece by Adam. Historically, when an armed service is out of the national spotlight as the Navy is today, it becomes a time of either intellectual growth or ossification within it’s officer corps.

The Center For Threat Awareness in “Think Tank 2.0” form has been launched! ( I knew it was coming but a hat tip to Shlok nonetheless and congrats to Michael Tanji and his compadres)

Strategic Security Blog – “White House Guidance Led to New Nuclear Strike Plans Against Proliferators, Document Shows“. Hat tip to Wiggins at OSD.

I’d this one a must-read for national security wonks. It’s also good evidence as to how specialist blogs can easily outclass the reportage of even flagship MSM outlets.

Fabius Maximus, often featured at DNI, now has a blog – here are a couple of sample posts
“Empowered individuals — and super-empowered ones!” and “The Essential 4GW reading list: chapter Two, Donald Vandergriff“.

Dr. Barnett has been spotted attending Matrix conventions.

That’s it!

HOPPING ON THE BLOGOSPHERIC BOYD BOOK BANDWAGON

Colonel Frans Osinga, PhD, who gave a tour de force lecture at Boyd 2007, managed to prevail upon his publisher to sell a paperback version of Science, Strategy and War:The Strategic Theory of John Boyd at a price non-billionaires could afford.

I will be reviewing Science, Strategy and War in December and – tentatively – organizing a roundtable discussion at Chicago Boyz, most likely after Christmas. If you are a blogger, academic or a current or former member of the armed services and are interested in participating, send me an email at zenpundit@hotmail.com.
