Baghdad Babble - introduction

I'm already back in DC on my first R&R and I'm using some of my down time to set up my blog chronicling my time in Baghdad.

I've been sending an email called the Baghdad Babble to my friends and family and people have asked me why I haven't set up a blog. The answer to that question is that I don't want to end up with a half hearted attempt at something.

I've been keeping up with the Baghdad Babble so far, so we'll see how it goes with this new format.
