(Ignore the continual barrage of negativism and anti-Americanism, and just enjoy. I note that the US Sgt. who did not intervene got in trouble, though.)

#4  The purpose of these joint patrols is for the American is to teach their Iraqi proteiges how to win the hearts and minds and end the blood letting?

#2  Mickey Kaus notes Andrew Sullivan's bleeding heartache editorial comment:

The video shows Iraqi troops beating three men who'd been caught with a bag full of mortars in their car. I don't defend the beatings, which at least one American tries fecklessly to stop, but calling people captured with mortars "civilians" is a bit of a distortion, no? Nor do they appear to be beaten "to near death"--that's just a Sullivanian embellishment.** Does he even watch the videos he hosts? ...

#1  Of course, it'll be a lot better after we leave.

No one will bother to report it.
