I think you will find this DOD transcript a fascinating entree into the current situation in Iraq. Major General Charles H. Swannack, Jr., the Commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, is high enough to have a fairly global view but not too high. He's still close to the combat and day to day reality.

It is well worth a read.

Link fixed by the Samizdata Code Goblins.

If the goblin fixed anything else they'll need to redo it because I also fixed it...

Dale,
A big thank you for posting this. I would never have seen it and it really opens a window into current ops in Iraq. Very encouraging.

I need the assistance of somebody in England. Would somebody please drop me a line at the email listed. I sent an email to an outfit in England but I think they are just blowing me off. I'm curious if somebody that is England would get the same response.
