Michael Yon : Online Magazine: Empty Jars

Anyone who has any interest in Iraq needs to be following  Michael Yon's  compelling narrative.

And the calm man, who appeared so clever and confident while standing there comforting a crying infant? How the picture changed when a young American solider stepped into the frame, reached for and gently took the child. Without his prop, the actor faltered, his illusion cracked and shattered as he shuddered before the soldier. This man who cowered behind a crying child was one of the top terrorist leaders in Mosul.

I remember the Kashmiri Mohammedan and his three jars. While terrorists on earth do their best to keep us down, men and women boarded a space ship in Florida today, and flew into space.

I hope this isn’t just wishful thinking on my part. I hope there are people that understand the consequences of an early withdrawal, and will withstand the mounting pressure of shortsightedness.

There are those who are demanding a withdrawal date--a big mistake in my opinion.

From what I've read, it seems that some in the Iraqi government are now calling on the U.S. to withdraw A.S.A.P., so as to whether we will be allowed to stay the course, I'm just not sure.
