"Today is better than tomorrow"

Dahr Jamail's latest report on Iraq is more depresing than ever. He can no longer get into the country to report on it, but is still in communication with some folks there. Sounds like it's absolutely hellish, and getting worse by the minute. Basically, the Iraqis have given up hope and are just trying to get out of the country while they can. Absolutely nightmarish.

Whatever credibility the US has ever had is gone forever. This will haunt them for generations. What's particularly striking is the anger in the American soldiers serving over there. They are absolutely furious, much, much more than any Vietnam era soldiers ever were. This is a really frightening situation. I can't believe it's getting this bad, and the world is still just sitting on its hands, wondering how it can continue to profit from American business.
