Wow... I've read bits of his story before, but never in such sad detail. Has there been any discussion about when the tapes will be shown over the air or are they waiting for the war to be over? Anyone know?
Thanks...

This is the guy who smuggled the 14 hours of unedited, candid video tape out of Iraq, isn't it?

Bump, look liked this guy confronted the arrogance of liberials, he at least had the guts to admit he was wrong. Hopefully he will apply this lesson to other issues.

Incredible. Thank you yonif.
To: yonif
A great article. So few people are honest enough with themselves to change their views when the evidence goes against them!
To: yonif
`Look at it this way. No matter how bad it is we will not all die. We have hoped for some other way but nothing has worked. 12 years ago it went almost all the way but failed. We cannot wait anymore. We want the war and we want it now` Wow.
Our President is the right man at the right time for these peolpe. I pray that he finishes the job and decapitates this vile beast. Every last vestige of the darkness and evil that chokes that nation must be destroyed.
I hope that every one of our service men and women over there realizes this. God bless them too.

This is the most heart-breaking article I've read -- there has got to be a way for him to get media exposure with his story. If nothing else, it should prompt the media to start pointedly asking the anti-war folk the same question as Ken did of the Human Shields: Do you know for a fact what the Iraqis want, or are you just assuming that you know what's best for them?

I had not ever bothered to ask them what they wanted . . . If any one sentence captures the essence of this article, I believe the above is it.
How many of those "against the war [for Saddam?]" ) have never asked what do they want?
