Okay, now it's over the line to ridiculous
By FAR the most disturbing and distressing news yet related to the Iraq war is being relayed by CNN.com this morning.
The military is skipping Iraq/desert specific training for troops in the surge because resources are stretched so thin.
As bad as things have been with well seasoned troops on the ground, I cannot imagine the hell that these ill-prepared troops will face. May whatever forces govern this universe see fit to shield them as best they can.
Why my lefty friends like HuffPo and AMERICABlog aren't on this like gravy on meat, I dunno.

I think the problem has been the same all along...our troops get 8.5 weeks of "training" in bootcamp. For many of these brave men and women, the armynavyairforcemarines is their first formal job--and have had no formal education.
So, go fight people who are trained from birth to aim, shoot and kill.
Who are we really defending?
