Looking for That Civil War We are Bogged Down in

Quick Note:

I've been out living among the Iraqi Police.  Some people would say I was living among the Jaysh al Mahdi  but I don't think the police are 100% JAM, maybe 10% JAM and 90% display the usual arab work ethic which is, uh, somewhere below the French work ethic.

After spending 2 weeks looking for the civil war raging in Baghdad I've decided that Arabs must do civil wars the way they do everything else--lackadaisically...

Read the whole post.  And I totally know what he's talking about...

And for the helluvit (because it rocks), I'm reposting his trailer for Outside the Wire.

 

At Outside the Wire - you can read the bios of the Marines shown in the documentary, check in on JD's blog or buy the DVD.
