It is well-known what the hell is going on there, irrespective of the slants of media.
I sat and listened to a young man who was actually "proud" that he managed to shoot some folks while in Iraq. I wasn't the only one who was speechless listening to that shit.
Don't expect some solider to show a "big picture" - they ain't got a clue.
Don't expect the "leadership" to show a big picture either - they have lied persistantly about this. Next week they are announcing "Iraqi Flower Day" when all "insurgents" are going to throw petals over the US troops.
The whole world "knows" what is going on. That is the fundamental reason they want no part of it - at least until the US is outta the place and a legitimate government in place.
Ya can paint pictures till doomsday - rest assured, none of them are rosy scenarios - for anyone.

I will take the word of the boots on the ground...most of which I have served with and some of which I have known for more than twenty years...over any media report...or report from anyone else...thank you very much. They live what is going on every day.
