[lbo-talk] Eyewitness in Tikrit

[mike larkin]

I spoke over the holidays with a fellow from the Army who just got back from Tikrit. He hates Rumsfeld, is not re-enlisting, has horror stories about the military, etc. But he was absolutely insistent that most people in Tikrit were very pro-American, ecstatic about being liberated, and were terrified that the U.S. would leave; and that the media is not reporting this. Very young fellow, very earnest, couldn't possibly be saying this merely on behalf of his superiors. Just offer this up as an observation.
