It's a great read but rather long. Here's one paragraph that pretty much sums up what our troops face on the road to Baghdad.

" Dusk was falling. There were Bradleys everywhere, and they had discovered a group of Iraqis coming toward them with small arms. They engaged. There wasn?t any return fire against the massive fire from the tanks. One American soldier was yelling, ?Kill the motherf?kers!? This is not a stroll into Baghdad. All along this road they?ve been encountering similar attacks by militia loyal to Saddam who are taking it upon themselves to fight. Bands of Iraqis are resisting, and there are casualties. My car is shrapnel and I?m basically embedded now. I don?t have much chance of going independent again and, to be honest, I don?t know if I want to. "
