I've been following the progression of the coalition in Iraq of course, even though I wrote very little about it.


I don't pretend I'm being an expert on modern warfare; I don't have what it takes to discuss the strategy of the people in charge.

Those Americans, British, Australians and Poles are fighting for us. All of us.
