Thanks for the link to the reporta, Wolfgang.

It is pathetic - in the REAL sense, not jargon - how very vulnerable the US Army is in Iraq. After two years of war - and a year after combat was pronounced over - the Army still must have guard vehicles for any travel, and "all of Iraq is considered a combat zone."

Just what are we doing there? What have we accomplished there? Who are we helping? Who is better off because we are there?

Reading the report made me sad for the American troops. They are in a no-win situation that carries the constant threat of death for themselves or for their friends and co-workers. Why are they there????
