Baghdad: "the real battle"

I really don't much like YouTube. I don't much like the Tube either, so I don't usually want it on my computer screen. Online, I'm often skimming, while video imposes its own pace. I want to be in control of how much time I invest in particular information; hence, I avoid video.

However -- very occasionally I'll play one of the things. The British Channel 4 news report below is long for a YouTube -- over 8 minutes I think. And worth playing all the way through.


If you had any questions, now you've seen why Bush's escalation is a failure before it begins. And more, why we shouldn't put any more U.S. soldiers into that meat grinder to destroy their moral bearings.

Thanks to Booman Tribune for pointing to the video.
