Many of the DOD press conference transcripts are yawn inducing… but not this one. On June 16th, Lieutenant General Thomas F. Metz, Commander Multi-National Forces-Corp Iraq gave one of the most candid and informative presentations I have yet seen.
This is good stuff. Read and enjoy.
The prime message to come from General Metz’ somewhat rambling conversation is the fear of an Iraqi democracy by the insurgents.
Democracy would spoil many a plan for a return to a tyrannical Iraq. So, panic among the insurgents is fully understandable.
