That entire article is amazing (0.00 / 0)

ThinkProgress has also picked it up:

Next to him, Spc. Will Hedin, 21, of Chester, Conn., thought about what he was going to say.

"We're not making any progress," Hedin said, as he recalled a comrade who was shot by a sniper last week. "It just seems like we drive around and wait to get shot at. … It's just more troops, more targets."

In the past two months, the unit has lost two men. In May alone, at least 120 U.S. troops died in Iraq, the bloodiest month in 2007 and the highest number since the battles of Fallujah in 2004.

Spc. Kevin Krasco, 20, of Medford, Mass., and Spc. Kevin Adams, 20, of Moosup, Conn., chimed in with their dismay before turning the conversation to baseball.

"It's like everything else in this war," Adams said, referring to Baghdad. "It hasn't changed."

The most striking way to read it... (4.00 / 3)

...is to just read the quotes.

The soldiers:

"When are we going to get out of here?"

"I didn't want to come back. ... We're waiting to get blown up."

"We're not making any progress. It just seems like we drive around and wait to get shot at."

"It's just more troops, more targets."

"It's like everything else in this war. It hasn't changed."

Lieberman:

"I think it's important we don't lose our will.  To pull out would be a disaster."

and he's there because.. (0.00 / 0)

he wants to take troops away from patrols to chaperone HIM? it p*sses me off how the military has to take these politicians around, like they have nothing else to do.

not to mention.. if these young men are playing tour guide, I'm sure they'd rather be showing Posh Spice or Jessica Alba around. Next time, Joe... send one of them and you STAY HOME.
