Far, far away. Read between the lines on this one. The guy clearly wants to describe a desperate situation AND stay on a career path in an Army which demands political correctness and the party line.

U.S. officer describes disarray in Iraqi army.

And then these are the folks of whom Rumsfeld and Bush say they need more. Why?

Troops help Iraqi police do their jobs in ‘hell’.

It's become a complete farce, as some in the Pentagon will admit. The White House is living in a fantasy land, hoping, praying for a Democratic win so they can blame the inevitable outcome on someone else.

And the True Believers still believe, truly. And the expense of any shred of intellectual honesty. It's all still GOOD NEWS.
