Michael Yon had an excellent opinion piece in Sunday’s NY Daily News,

Amid all this talk of timetables for the War in Iraq, blurred as they are by a strange lemming-like compulsion to declare the “surge” strategy a failure almost before it actually began, one deadline looms larger with each passing day: It’s time for a reckoning with the truth.

Michael also has a great new post up at his blog, Bread and Circus, part one and two.

Please hit his tip jar if you can, we need his reporting from Iraq now more than ever.
