"Watching the news on TV while I'm home, it's kind of strange," Monbarren says. "It's all about how many people died today, how the Iraqis don't want us there. But when you're on the ground, it's a different story. You should see the look of little kids when you give them water. You see people cheer when you drive through their town. It's very different from when I first got there. We're out building schools now, getting medical help to people. It's not all about what got blown up today. We're doing good stuff."

-Monbarren is the supply sergeant for the Nebraska National Guard's 1057th Transportation Company.

The consequences of the "breathtakingly arrogant" Bush administration have put U.S. troops in harms way unnecessarily while weakening the nation's fight against al Qaida, Kennedy said. He said the U.S. military is overstretched with its current commitment in Iraq, allowing al Qaida to regroup

Isn't it a shame, that Kennedy didn't show the same compassion for the parents of Mary Joe Kopechne ?
