Morale Is Good; Troops Are

I Don't Believe Iran Is A Suicide State.

Everybody Needs To Understand That I Learned Arabic From The United States Army As A Second Language. I Never Spoke It At Home.

Morale Is Good; Troops Are Confident; Leaders Are Capable.

But My Arabic Is Pretty Good. It's Good Enough To Have Conversations With People, To Understand What They Say, To Understand What They're Feeling.

I Think You Also Understand That One Of The Key Things That's Got To Be Done In Iraq Is To Build A Mentality Of Understanding That The Military Needs To Be Subordinate To Civilian Control And Respectful Of Its Own People.
