Excerpted. The remainder is a good read, no overt editorializing. But he still didn't leave Baghdad. Unbelievable from the Times, though. Someone tell JohnHuang2 that the Quagmire is doing really badly today...

Many Iraqis Find They Like Life Without Hussein (newsflash- Times Tells Truth!)

I think we're going to start seeing more and more of these kinds of stories as the media start engaging in some serious CYA activity. More and more people are becoming aware that the "quagmire" is nothing more than a media/Democratic Party fantasy concocted to take out George Bush in 2004. While sites like FR are a huge reason why people know this, I think the most devastating evidence of what a load of horse puckey the "quagmire" is are the thousands of letters and e-mails from soldiers in Iraq who are basically telling their families that the press is full of shit.

Amazing. I'd of thought Iraqis would have liked the rape and torture chambers..and filling up Saddam's mass graves.

The quagmire didn't exist in Nam either. We pulled the plug on them just when we had it won. The anti-Americans think that they can do it again.

[LadyDoc]

yup. since Brooks took over, they actually even report the truth...

Thank you!

At the Ratidain state bank, Hussein Salman, an accountant, sat on a bag holding eight million dinars, or $4,000, in small bills. He was waiting to deposit it — something he would have thought twice about before the war.

"It's safer to use banks now because there's more stability," he said. One reason for the stability was the American M1 Abrams tank outside the front door with its gun pointed at the street. Inside, around Mr. Salman, the lobby teemed with three dozen people waiting for a teller. Before the war, "it was never crowded," he said. "Almost nobody came here."
