The US Army Land Warrior is an integrated fighting system for individual infantry soldiers that gives the soldier enhanced tactical awareness, lethality and survivability.

Al Qaeda fights to the death in Iraq bastion:
Thousands of U.S. soldiers on the offensive north of Baghdad are facing fierce resistance from hundreds of al Qaeda militants who are ready to fight to the death, an American general said on Friday.
...
“It is house to house, block to block, street to street, sewer to sewer,” said Brigadier-General Mick Bednarek, commander of Operation Arrowhead Ripper in Iraq’s Diyala province.
...
“They will not go any further. They will fight to the death,” Bednarek told Reuters and another news agency.

Actually, it looks like about 80% of their leaders high tailed it out of there before the offensive began.

This can’t be because Pelosi and Reid said there was NO Al Qaeda in Iraq and there is no WOT. Plus Ron Paul and his supporters say it is okay to leave Iraq and it will not hurt us. According to Pelosi, Reid, Paul and his base, Al Qaeda will not set up shop in Iraq and turn it into a base of operations to attack us, our allies and interests worldwide. Me thinks they are all wrong and very misguided.
