A realistic appraisal of Iraq - from a conservative journalist killed on the job

armando at kos presents the sad, sad story of a man trying to do his job the best way he knows how, to be honest and then dying in the process... go here for the whole post...
[P]raising America's undeniable military prowess is a bit like the old saw involving the doctor who crows that "the operation was a success, but the patient died." Sure, the surgery was brilliant, the surgery team removed the cancer, but all manner of infectious diseases afflicted the patient in the post-op period. (And again, forgive me, but here in Basra, Mookie Sadr is hands-down the most popular public figure outside of Sistani.)

thanks, armando...
