In Country
By Michael J. Totten
I finally made it to Baghdad and am scheduled to begin an embed with a unit in a couple of hours. Getting from the U.S. to Kuwait was a royal pain, but it was as luxurious as a stay in a palace compared with getting from Kuwait to Baghdad in July during a war. If you're a "princess," don't ever come here.
I'll have some fresh material posted as soon as it is possible for me to do so.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day...so check back often.
Are you saying the accommodations are worse than the Suli Palace?
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Good luck and keep your head down.
