boots on the ground know what washington dc will never figure out... what a shock!

If we are to get an honest assessment of how the so called 'surge' is working, we need to listen to those who are there The War as We Saw It. Sorry, for our policy makers, listening to the boots on the ground is not an option.

They say, 'let us not listen to those who have been there.' Instead we should listen to those who go over in private jets to take escorted tours around the markets of Baghdad with 100 armed soldiers and 4 Blackhawk helicopters, fact finding missions indeed?

Boots on the ground and blood in the sand means nothing after all. Isn't it always the same... people breathing rarified air make decisions for people who are knee deep in the issue... and they have the nerve to call themselves leaders... of some sort....

Hmmmm, what is wrong with this picture?

Still In Iraq
