U.S. Army Sergeants Talk About Iraq

August 21, 2007 By theopensociety

Today’s NYT has an op-ed piece written by seven U.S. Army sergeants who are serving in Iraq.  Basically, they talk about what a mess the place is and how we are not helping to make it better. 

I have already noticed a drum beat starting about the  effectivenes of the surge which I expect will only get louder as we head into September.  Hopefully, the piece by the seven sergeants will not be the only glimpse of reality we get, but somehow I am not hopeful.

I thought I heard today that the Bush administration has changed the surge report date to Sept. 11th. God, have they no shame whatsoever?  Maybe the radio announcer was talking about something else. 

Please share widely!

    This op-ed did not get the attention it deserved. Thank you for posting on it, Mr/Ms TheOpenSociety.
