#1 I'm listening to Brian Suits, A radio host in Seatle who is in Iraq as a 2nd LT, US Army. He feels a corner has been turned regarding how things are going. He spends most everyday out in the boonies doing nation building.

Says that 90% of roadside bombs are reported to them by Iraqis. That the amount of brave ambush fodder is fast being depleted. Many are now just going back to being civilian.

Says the bombing in Baghdad is due to the journalist who stay there so the reporting will be shrill. Says Taters militia is fading away (killed also) and that he has lost almost all credibility with the folks. Overt hostility to him.

Suits is cool, he's a great radio host and he misses it badly. You can hear his wearyness. But he does say that he will not be a 1st LT. He's had enough. I don't blame him, he's a bootstrap LT and has been in three hot zones already.
