#1 That sounds like just what those guys need. A f*cking reporter following them around taking pictures of dead people to be used against them in a media campaign back home.

#2 In the vast majority of cases, Bigjim's right on the money - most MSM types are actively seeking ways to aid the enemy through their coverage. Fumento's one of the very few good guys, though.

#3 it's a good read, in spite of the date it's been up for a couple of days.

#5 I read this article and was not terribly surprised by the Arab tactics. They love that gun and run MO. If I were the commander I would be setting ambushes every day until eventually the swamp would be drained. But it seems the CO has to/must let the Iraqis take care of security. I hate to admit this but it does sound hauntingly like a no-win scenario. Anyone doubt that if pressed these soldiers could clean out that town in a good afternoon? Sound like we need to put those Arab sensitivities aside and kick some Jihadi ass.
