News from the Iraq front line
I just got out of a College Republican meeting where Major John (?) Ward, a US Marine Major, spoke about his 2 terms of service in Iraq. I always enjoy the opportunity to hear about Iraq from people that have actually been there. In summary of his comments: 1) We're not close to being done in Iraq, but conditions are MUCH better than one or two years ago 2) a with drawl from Iraq before we fix the problems the war has caused would create a deadly power vacuum as well as undermine much of America's honor and also be morally wrong 3) There's a lot of good being done in Iraq in the life of the average Iraqi. It was really interesting hearing him speak. Major Ward is in his late 30's, and has served in the Marines and CIA his whole life.

Want to hear something that sucks? I have to take a Law and Ethics exam for the California Dental Board. There are only a few of them offered throughout the year. One of these is being held in LA on the 12th or the 13th of April!!! I could have killed two birds wih one stone had that worked out.
ReplyDeleteDang!!!
A 'with drawl' from Iraq . . . is that like a Southerner from Iraq? Or maybe visiting Iraq and speaking with a Southern drawl . . . because I think Bush did that and it definitely undermined much of America's honor.
