Strange. As far as I stumbled over them, comments by troops in the field, or veterans that had returned, and that were questoned on their evaluation anonymously and not in front of a camera, said exactly the opposite. Since over a year. And in the last 18 months I must have linked to 1 or 2 anonymous polls amonst troops in Iraq with results indicating that their morale and understanding why they should stay is slowly but constantly decreasing. And lastly: operation swarmer, a wonderful effort to polish George's image again - but so far a strike into empty space only. Some weapon supplies, some arrest, that'S all. A little bit too minor for an operation of this scale. must have something to do with this thing they call asymmetrical warfare. Next time they better hold a maneuver inside the Oval Office, it's easier to organioze and serves the same purpose.
But let's hunker down with familiar illusions some longer, makes us feel warm and comfortable.
