>For those of you that don't regularly read his blog, Michael Yon's Of Words is, I think, a must-read. Whether you agreed with the reasons to go into Iraq or not, we're there, and Yon has done yeoman service trying to find out what's really going on.

Well, he already starts on the wrong foot with:
"More than a year ago, I wrote from the “Sunni Triangle” that Iraq was in the midst of a civil war, words that received little attention then."

The White House says there is no civil war in Iraq. Who would you believe? Michael Yon or our esteemed President, George "The Decider" Bush and Dick "Deadeye" Cheney? :)
