Comin up on CNN: A reality check of what it's like on ground in Iraq.
Hmmm....how will this compare with the glorious "Morning in Iraq" picture painted by Allawi in his speech to Congress this am?

5. Yes. It is so wonderful in Tikrit.
Reality Distorted on CNN.

An American soldier died here...but a few miles away it's like nothing happened.

Gun fights still happen, the company medic died a couple of weeks ago, and inspite of "the daily drip of death", soldiers say it's worth it.

Too bad the dead medic and the soldier who died while this crap was being filmed can't talk.
