Michael Yon's updates are always top-notch, too bad the MSM isn't half as good...todays "polls" would reflect entirely different sentiments IMO.

Beats the cr@* out of anything one would see/hear on the CBS/NBC/ABC/MSNBC/CNN news-kabal huh!!
I watched FOX pretty exclusively while they had their embedded's there...while the reporters they had there did a great job, Michael Yon's reports are second to none.
