He has won critical acclaim, including five Eisner Awards for both his creator-owned work and his work on various Marvel Comics books. [2] Starting out with crime and noir comics, Bendis eventually moved to mainstream superhero work. With Bill Jemas and Mark Millar, Bendis was the primary architect of the Ultimate Marvel Universe, launching Ultimate Spider-Man in 2000, on which he continues as writer to the present day.

De site www.militairespectator.nl zal uiteindelijk een portal voor de krijgswetenschappen worden. Op de site worden de artikelen, editoria- len en columns gemakkelijk toeganke- lijk gepresenteerd. Ook bevat de site pdf-versies van artikelen uit het ge- drukte blad en een digitaal archief van eerder uitgegeven nummers. Leden van de Koninklijke Vereniging ter Beoefening van de Krijgswetenschap blij- ven iedere maand een gedrukte versie van de Militaire Spectator ontvangen. Medewerkers van Defensie die de Militaire Spectator tot nu toe vanwege hun rang of schaal ontvingen krijgen geen gedrukt exemplaar meer. Zij kunnen zich op de site aanmelden voor de nieuwsbrief en zo op de hoogte blijven van het uitkomen van nieuwe nummers. De hoofdredacteur De Militaire Spectator is sinds 1832 het militair- wetenschappelijk tijdschrift voor en over de Nederlandse krijgsmacht. Het maakt relevante kennis, wetenschappelijke inzichten, ontwikkelingen en praktijkervaringen toe- gankelijk en slaat zo een brug tussen theorie en praktijk. De Militaire Spectator stimuleert de gedachte- vorming over onderwerpen die de krijgsmacht raken en draagt zodoende bij aan de ontwikkeling van de krijgswetenschap in de breedste zin van het woord. Op deze wijze geeft het tijdschrift inhoud aan zijn missie: het bijdragen aan de professio- nalisering van het defensie personeel en het ver- hogen van het kennisniveau van overige geïnteresseerden. Daarmee bevordert de Militaire Spectator ook de dialoog tussen krijgsmacht, wetenschap en samenleving.

Burke Chair in Strategy With the Assistance of Adam Mausner Revised, May 10, 2007 Cordesman: Iraqi Force Development 5/10/07 Page ii Executive Summary Iraq has moved far beyond a Sunni Islamist or Ba’ath-driven insurgency. It is already in a state of limited civil war, and may well be escalating to the level of a major civil conflict. What began as a small resistance movement centered on loyalists to the Ba’ath and Saddam Hussein has expanded to include neo-Salafi Sunni terrorism, a broadly based Sunni insurgency, and now a series of broader sectarian and ethnic conflicts. The current combination of Sunni Neo-Salafi extremist insurgency, Sunni Arab versus Shi’ite Arab sectarian conflict, Shi’ite versus Shi’ite power struggles, and Arab versus Kurdish ethnic conflict could easily cause the collapse of the current political structure. In the best case, it could lead to a Shi’ite or Shi’ite-Kurdish dominated government, with strong local centers of power, and an ongoing fight with Iraq’s Sunnis. In the worst case, it could escalate to the break up of the country, far more serious ethnic and sectarian conflict, or violent paralysis.

It is because they recorded every incident.2 – Saddam Hussein, circa 1991 OVERVIEW Sir Michael Howard, the great British military historian, once warned that “the past is a foreign country; there is very little we can say about it until we have learned the language and understood its assumptions.”3 A recur- ring insight when reviewing transcripts of discussions between Saddam and members of his inner circle is the extent to which the West’s failure to 1 This quote is from a 21 December 1983 cable from the U.S. embassy in London to the secretary of state.

A Constitution Without Constitutionalism: Reflections on Iraq's Failed Constitutional Process Feisal Amin Rasoul al-Istrabadi* I. Introduction Theoretical physicists hypothesize a "sum over histories," a concept having its roots in the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the Schrrdinger equation postulated in quantum mechanics.' The idea is that there are uni- verses parallel to the one we inhabit where, for example, the French Revolution did not occur and the Bourbon kings continue to rule to this day in an unbroken chain.2 Moreover, there is an infinite number of parallel uni- verses whereby the infinite chains of possible permutations relating to French history since July 14, 1789 (and, for that matter, before) have played them- selves out.3 In this multiverse of infinite possibilities, the 2003 military intervention by the United States in Iraq was accomplished competently.

  • Baghdad”: Space, Representation, and the Colonial Present
    Wandering the Streets of “Baghdad”: Space, Representation, and the Colonial Present by Wesley Attewell B.A. (hon.), The University of British Columbia, 2007 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2009 © Wesley Attewell, 2009 ii Abstract In this thesis, I will explore the triangular relationship between space, representational practices, and the colonial present. I will grapple with a few key research questions: how do we, as Westerners, represent the “other”? How, in turn, do we represent “ourselves”? How have these representational practices shaped the conduct of the War on Terror? And finally, how are (neo)colonial struggles over the politics of representation intricately bound up with questions of geography? By focusing my attention upon the recent invasion, and subsequent occupation of Iraq, I hope to offer a historico-geographically responsible, as well as anti-essentialist, reading of three distinct “digital spaces”: two blogs (Riverbend’s Baghdad Burning and Colby Buzzell’s My War: Killing Time in Iraq ) and Multi-National Force Iraq’s YouTube channel. Here, I will argue that, to paraphrase Edward Said, broader geographical struggles, over forms, over images, and over imaginings are not only being dispersed around the globe, they are also being fractured and subsequently contested on a more micro-scale in these new digital battlegrounds. As I hope to demonstrate over the course of this thesis, social media websites such as blogs and YouTube must conceptualized not only as political, but also as antipolitical spaces, in that they both encourage and stifle critical debate on issues pertaining to late modern warfare.

My name is Mohid Malik, and I am your director for the Coalition Provisional Authority on the Reconstruction of Iraq. I alongside with my vice-director A.J. Davidson, my two crisis analysts John Zabbal and Omar Kittaneh, as well as my moderator Danna Aranda all extend our warmest welcome to you for a very exciting weekend of robust debate! I am currently a third-year student at the University of Toronto specialising in Political Science with a minor in History. This conference will mark my second year of being involved with UTMUN. I have also attended numerous conferences in cities all across Europe during my time as a high school student. My passion for MUN has been a significant part of my life for many years and I look forward to showcasing that passion through assisting you before and during the conference. My goal is to ensure that everyone leaves the conference feeling more confident in themselves with regards to public speaking. I am also hoping that everyone will not only grow as intellectuals, but more importantly, as people. The Coalition Provisional Authority committee will be discussing three topics that are of the utmost importance in helping facilitate the transition of Iraq from a war-torn country to a secure, economically stable, and democratic state. The first topic that you will be focusing on is the policy of de-Ba’athification.

  • {PDF EPUB} Escape to Masada Joining Operation Eagle by Jerry B
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Escape to Masada Joining Operation Eagle by Jerry B. Jenkins Hannah Palemoon. Hannah Palemoon is a fictional character in the Left Behind series of novels created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. She is a Native American nurse working for the Global Community in New Babylon. Hannah heard about Jesus Christ while she was living on the Cherokee reservation from a Christian couple that moved onto the reservation, a Lakota Sioux and a man from New Jersey, who wanted to get to know the people and to share the love of Christ with them. Later on in college, Hannah dealt with annoying "tract tossers" that turned her off to wanting to know Christ. Feeling that she wanted a real flesh-and-blood hero in her life and not an "ethereal God", Hannah jumped at the chance of moving to New Babylon when she heard about Nicolae Carpathia and that he needed medical staff there. While she was in New Babylon, Hannah came across Tsion Ben-Judah's website when he predicted the coming Wrath Of The Lamb earthquake that destroyed her whole reservation, leaving no survivors. Though angered and hurt, Hannah was amazed that the prediction was correct and decided she wanted to learn more from him. Eventually, she was led into following the "Romans road" of reading the Bible, where she became a believer. She met David Hassid when he passed out from sun-stroke while looking for Annie Christopher following the resurrection of Nicolae Carpathia, stitching up the wound in his head and later located his fiancée's body for him in the morgue.
