Read Michael Yon's new book Moment of Truth in Iraq.
I just started but this is exactly what Gen Petraeus (petra Greek rock) has implimented in the surge.
Yon has some scathing criticisms about the USA early prosecution of the war (heavy handed, heavy hitting) but it reporting of a genuine change based on your comments Flyboy.
I really like his approach and want to pick up his book.
Even though he's highly critical of how the early parts of the war were carried out, unfortunatley, he'll be dismissed as a pro-military Bush puppet simply because he doesn't fall in lock step with the media mythos of Iraq being a horrible disastrous quagmire.

Let us know when you get to the point of renting your clothes, wearing ashcloth and anointing your head with ashes from burnt 2000-2004 Bush/Cheney campaign posters...

If only I could legally assasinate Bush and his whole staff, I'd be blowing a hole in their head rather quickly. Take that fools.

Ahhh with your political affliations aren't you scared?
Oh wait, the Clintons aren't in charge are they??
Another reason Obama won't let Hillary be VP - only a bullet away from the Big Seat...

I was actually thinking that after watching his speech, conspiracy theorists unite when Obama is assasinated, was it Bill, or another man employed by Hilary?
