As Mr. Peters points out, you can't get the real story if your waiting in your hotel room to get the story. This meshes well with what most of the commanders are saying. Why can't the media, any media, give it like it is? Is the distain for Bush that powerful, that they would sacrifice the troops in the fields moral to get what they want? Kind of makes you wonder why a lot of our boys keep going back, yes some on orders, others volunteering. What we need is for a total "house cleaning" like they are calling for at the White House.

Ralph Peters: Iraq 'Civil War' a Media Myth
Reports that Iraq has descended into a civil war are not only not true - they're being promulgated by anti-war journalists eager to see U.S. efforts to establish a stable democracy in the country fail.
So says military analyst Ralph Peters, who just spent a week touring Baghdad with the 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
"I'm looking for the civil war that The New York Times declared. And I just can't find it," Peters declared in his New York Post column on Sunday.
