.IRAQ THROUGH ROSE-COLORED GLASSES....
"IRAQ THROUGH ROSE-COLORED GLASSES....I didn't bother posting earlier this week about Ralph Peters' latest column — the one in which he spent a few days in Baghdad, personally saw no civil war, and thus pronounced everything peachy — because, well, why bother? Sometimes things are so plainly idiotic that there's no point. Peters probably could have written the same story in Richmond in 1863."

Well you know my opinion. I see the situation quickly getting out of control, and I see an administration mismanaging the war. I have said it many time and in many ways.
Who is this "miller", you seem to be describing Albritons point in the comments. When you embedded you reporting on what's the war is like for the military, when your doing the government your reporting on what the war is like for the government, when you walk down the street and talk to people your reporting on what the war is like for the people, and so on and so on. One war many many stories. Something that I agree with very much, that's why on this blog you get stories fro all over the place. and still I feel that I am missing much of the big picture.
You can't just take a one week tour and profess to have seen the war. no way no how, which I think was the point. Besides that guy Peters was probably on the payroll.
