Have you guys read the Iraq expose in the current New Yorker magazine?

[tedzbear]

"War After the War" by George Packer. It is incredibly informative and a stunningly frank expose of what's going wrong in Iraq. Articles like this one are what make me a fan of this magazine.
If everyone in the United States read this article they would be screaming for Rumsfeld and Cheney's heads. They would also develop deep sympathy for our fighting men and women over there who have been handed a bigger load than anyone should be asked to handle.

If anyone else has read this article, please tell me what you think.

3. I posted about it yesterday. It went over like a lead brick.

I think it's an important article.

6. Too bad. This article is a perception shattering event.

IMHO of course. This reporter really did some deep, honest digging, unlike the cursory Bush propaganda that Thomas Friedman pukes forth.

from Indiana who's handling things amazingly well, all things considered.
