I received a picture and an 11 paragraph article on how things really are in Iraq, written by one of our soldiers there. His name is Bryant Shurley. Jan. 11, 2007, 2/5 Cav, 1st CB
I am quoting the last paragraph of the letter/article.
"If we leave Iraq now, it will be a failure for democracy. Iran will control Iraq and the end result will be more terrorists attacks on America. The American people don't want soldiers dying over here, but it's better than American civilians dying over there. Do NOT forget 9/11. They will do it again. The moment we loosen our grip on the noose, they will do it again. And the only way to root out evil here is to stop beating around the bush, increase troops and destroy the insurgents once and for all. The Iraqi goverment cannot do this on their own. The Iraqi security forces are inadequate for the task. We are the only ones who can stop al-Sadr."
He knows first hand what he is talking about.
