| Facts vs. Fiction: A Report from the Front (The American Enterprise) |
| 2006-03-01 |
| By Karl Zinsmeister Your editor has just returned from another month in Iraq—my fourth extended tour in the last two and a half years. During November and December I joined numerous American combat operations, including the largest air assault since the beginning of the war, walked miles of streets and roads, entered scores of homes, listened to hundreds of Iraqis, observed voting at a dozen different polling sites, and endured my third roadside ambush. With this latest firsthand experience, here are answers to some common queries about how the war is faring. Quite long, see at link. |

| #1 Although this is written in a dreadfully low-key tone, it nails the issues surrounding Iraq to the barn door and ever-so-quietly proves MSM reportage to be little more than the partisan sham we lament here at the 'Burg. I guess it would be a very effective piece for those who perceive themselves as intellectuals or academics (who haven't succumbed to BDS - are there any left?). Please, pass the link along to those who might fit that category. Thx, a5089 - a very thoughtful piece, if a bit phlegmatic to my ear, lol. ;-) |
