Let me add a little context to all this by saying the following:
When I was in Iraq, the situation on the ground was not accurately portrayed in the media.
I recently talked to someone still there, and he said that this is still the case.
If you spend some time on the internet looking for firsthand accounts, you will see the same thing.
So what I am getting at is this - the reason we might fail in Iraq is because many in America are trying to
create failure by
portraying failure.
Again, Answerman makes some good arguments, but taken in sum, his blog portrayed our effort in Iraq as failing, and it's not. That's what I have a problem with.
I know that Answerman doesn't share the suicidal impulses and sicknesses of those trying to create failure in Iraq, I just think he might be inadvertantly aiding them.
