I’m SOOO excited about these shows and very proud of team Colbert for doing them! I was thrilled to read the USO would receive proceeds from iTunes sales of the Iraq shows. I will definitely buy them.

Best wishes for successful shows and safe travels to Stephen and staff.

I’m thrilled that Stephen has arranged for the USO to benefit from iTunes sales of his shows from next week (and that Comedy Central is so clearly on board with this arrangement). Way to go, Stephen and crew, and here’s looking to some hugely successful shows.

I’m really interested in hearing what Gen. Odierno has to say. I remember not having a high opinion of him after reading Thomas Ricks’ Fiasco, but when I read The Gamble, it sounded like he had completely readjusted his approach to the war (from the brash, “kick-in-the-door” approach to a more nuanced counterinsurgency approach). That Gen. Odierno solicited the openly anti-war Emma Sky to be his advisor when he went to Iraq for his second tour fascinates me, and I hope he gets the opportunity to explain the change in his outlook and tactics. That sort of flexibility seems to me an important and valuable trait, but it’s not one we often associate with military leaders (perhaps unfairly). Anyhow, I’m really interested seeing him interviewed.
