Maybe she couldn't find enough "positive" troops to 
interview, so she had to spend her time in Iraq doing 
something (I'm teasing). She actually drove back and forth 
between the airport and some other un-named un-measured-
distance point?  I would not have done this, but it does 
sound like she really believes in her position.

You are right, Carl. This is what we are up against: people 
who believe strongly in their position. Remind me that I 
don't want to be as blind or foolish in my beliefs or 
position.

Trying to accomplish selfish goals through military force 
does spell failure. So I guess they have a point.

And so the weapons are where?
