Ramadan
As usual, the terrorists have decided to usher in Ramadan with an increase in violence. Yesterday, I awoke to the sound of explosions - most likely mortars - every few minutes for 3 or 4 hours. Probably a total of 20-30, though none were close to me at all - I think they were just randomly shooting in the direction of the airport. From what I hear, the most organized ones mount a launcher in the back of a pickup truck, drive to a spot and launch a few off and hightail it out of there before they become stains on the sidewalk.
Hopefully we will see a big change after the 15th when the people vote on the new constitution. So thats 2 national votes, a constitution in front of the people, Saddam is in jail awaiting trial for genocide, his bloodthirsty sons are dead, we are capturing or killing dozens of terrorists every week, we have suffered fewer personnel and material casualties than any major war in history, and our opponents' tactics are becomming to desparate as to include the military version of the hail-mary pass, and, oh yeah, not a single major terrorist attack on US soil. Every single one of our objectives has been met. I don't know how people can claim we are losing a war we have already won. The reporters covering this thing really need to stop getting their stories in the hotel bars in the green zone and get out and do some real reporting.
