Dayum! Even CAR AND DRIVER magazine gets it!

From an article in this month's C&D: "War Wagons: Butt-ugly up-armored M1114 Humvees are a thing of beauty to U.S. troops in Iraq" by Jerry Garrett

There are about 26 million people in Iraq, nearly six million of whom live in Baghdad. All but a small percentage want peace.

But in many ways, we have no one to blame but ourselves for the malcontents.

"We created an insurgency that wasn't here," Col. Pinnell freely admits of the post-invasion days when U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer ran, or misran, Iraq. "Now it's our job to fix that."

4. Hmm... a lot of ingorant bigots and Republican Christian NASCAR racists

rely on Car and Driver for their worldview; perhaps this will start them actually thinking, and seeing the truth for a chance.

Bravo Car and Driver, for taking the chance of alienating 99% of your readership base!

5. Excellent article............

they should have asked why it took so long for the new Humvees to be deployed. I liked the comment of disposable Chevy Suburbans at 150000 each.
