Lara Logan Returns To Iraq: “It looks like a wasteland”
By: Logan Murphy on Sunday, May 27th, 2007 at 10:53 AM - PDT

After a six weeks away, CBS Chief Foreign Correspondent, Lara Logan, returned to Iraq and shared her stark observations with Bob Schieffer this morning on "Face The Nation." Logan spoke about the deteriorating conditions in Bagdad and the underlying theme coming out of Iraq; sectarian killings are down, but U.S. troop deaths are up and the number of attacks on our soldiers are on the rise.

Schieffer: "What's your assessment at this point, is it better, worse, or about the the same as when you left?"

Logan: "Well, I can tell you Bob, I've only been gone for about six weeks and just the drive from the airport into Baghdad itself was really visually disturbing. You could sense there is a dramatic change in the feeling in the city itself. It looks like a wasteland. The drive really reminded me of something out of Armageddon."

:mad:

....That ought to really make America safe!

mainstream tv..:wow:

We are finally uniting the country...

What a bullshit number! What about the total number of Iraqi civilian deaths? If they move to Anbar next and reduce the number of civilian deaths there while the number in Baghdad returns to normal, is that supposed to be evidence that the surge is working?

we really don't know how awful it must look there. Glad Lara shed a little light on just how bad things really are. Surprised to hear that it got on the air.

the cbs news broadcast the 2 of them had a great back and forth, he would tell the audience the spin from the pentagon and Bush--not promoting it but kind of telling you the viewer what type of bullshit they were trying to sell and the he'd give it over to Lara who would actually tell you what was really going on.
