Healing

President Bush made reference to a couple of Iraqi bloggers and how things are getting better in Iraq. Retired General McCafferty has been quoted, by an Iraqi dentist (not the ones the President has made famous) and for the most part agrees with the retired General. I think both of these people make good points.

I would add this though. The burden on the military is tremdous and mulitple tours in Iraq and Afganistan are soon to be the rule rather than the exception. Deploying is an occupational hazard for those in the military and that is accepted. I add this because many of the comments to the Iraq blogger talk about Iraq healing. Yet, in the back of my mind, I think of the time it will take for America's military to heal from the strain of going into the 5th year of a war with the "Army we have."
