Send Vito to Iraq

Maybe Vito Fossella should look for a ski resort in Iraq so that he can get a good assesment of our situation while he is there, just like his Republican collegue Rep. Gutknecht. Gutknecht, an advocate of the war, doesn't hold back with his bleak assesment of what is going on after a recent visit. Via the Free Press;

Congressman Gil Gutknecht found the situation in Iraq more bleak than he anticipated during a weekend visit to the war zone, and said a partial withdrawal of some American troops might be wise.
Gutknecht, a strong supporter of the war since it began in March of 2003, told reporters in a telephone conference call Tuesday that American forces appear to have no operational control of much of Baghdad.
“The condition there is worse than I expected,” he said. “... I have to be perfectly candid: Baghdad is a serious problem.”

“Baghdad is worse today than it was three years ago,” he said.
