Where is Michael Ware!

Did CNN put him on a convenient vacation so that he can't tell us how beautifully the surge is surging? :sarcasm:

Where are all the happy school children and the voting machines and the fruit markets and the picnics in the park?

Where are all the soldiers giving candy to the happy children?



Where are you Michael? :crazy:

Week's War-Related Events Reviewed

Aired November 25, 2007

FOREMAN: Michael Ware, is there any sense that that government is finally, finally moving toward really addressing this? You've said so many times no.

MICHAEL WARE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, it depends on who you talk to. You speak to some people, for example in the U.S. embassy who are very close to this internecine political setup that we have here and they like to think that, yes, they are seeing a few positive signs from some of the factions within this government. Nonetheless, overall, even if that is true, there's no real drift towards reconciliation. Indeed, we've been speaking to some of the key power brokers in the major factions within this government, the Shia bloc particularly and none of them are rushing towards reconciliation. None of them are supportive of the American-Sunni militia program and indeed I've been out with the Sunni militias. Now when you go out to visit these militias, if you're with the American military, you'll get a certain sort of answer but we've been going out there alone at their request and meeting them on the streets, by themselves, and they give a very frank answer. They are deeply opposed to the Iraqi government, which is what the government feared and now America had 72,000 essentially former Sunni insurgents working for it. 45,000 of them are on the U.S. government payroll and most of them are opposed to this Iraqi central government, Tom.

He is about the only one that I have any faith in.
