Finally after three days of blackout:

I just talked to my baby there for over an hour and folks; it isn't pretty what is happening over there. I can't say much...but he told me that the bombs and deaths over there right now is ugly and very bad. He happens to have info that can't be shared here, he asks for everyones prayers and thoughts. He says we need to remember what is still happening. It isn't over..it isn't safe, it is getting worse for now.
He is a little depressed as many are. They have to live with what is going on while we here at home have no clue.
He says they and he, are mostly trying to keep their thoughts as to how to help and figure out how to stay ahead of the dangers rather than the actual actions still occuring. I guess it is how they deal with it.

He will not say; but assures me if he feels like it when he gets home, he will tell me all.(I am not so sure I want to hear it) But, if he needs to talk, I will most certainly listen, hug, and love him through it.

Please send prayers for our soldiers still fighting an ugly, devious and new type of war. A war that has so many hidden and deadly threats.

I do not know why they moved this to well wishes, this is current events. Sigghhhh...........whatever

Jeeze...anyway...we all need to remember that this war is far from over and just beginning again, making it an even more dangerous place to be even when we are supposedly beginning a pullout.

By pulling out of the cities they in effect are blinding themselves to imminent dangers.

From what I have heard it is not outside forces that are responsible for the violence, but sectarian infighting. If they choose not be at peace with one another, who are we to stop them? We have spent how many years now training them to keep the peace. It would appear they are either incompetent or unwilling to do so.

Actually there are all kinds of reasons for the sectarian and insurgent fighting. My info tells me it is the Al Quieda, them telling citizens that they are so powerful that "look we are so powerful we are driving the Americans and troops out." The Iraqi people are torn about us leaving. We are after all, spending lots of money there while being deployed. More than they are used too, or wanting to lose. By keeping us there the markets and such make money.
The insugents are making a stand to see just what the Iraqi soldiers can stand or give back. Without the Military there to stand by them.l'd have thought knowing we were pulling out would make them at least wait til we were gone to make their wars again.
Our soldiers cannot make a move in the cities without council between the Irai government and us. We can defend ourselves, but with caution.

It is still very dangerous for our guys and gals.
