My wife's stepdad is in Baghdad... deployed 3 times since 2003....a fuckin madman. He was there before the surge in the "sunni triangle", and has been since the surge. And we mopped the sandy floors with the Iranian resistance and Saudi backed fundies that were the heart and $$ of the violence in Iraq...now, as of last week....he was in a book club and they were smoking sheesha at a local cafe or some shit.
