Michael Yon on Iraq - Video

Michael Yon was interviewed on Fox and Friends (see video above) regarding the progress in Iraq. As many of you know, Michael Yon is a journalist and blogger who has made numerous trips to Iraq and chronicled what he has seen there in his articles and photography. He is former special forces and has spent more time with the troops than any other journalist that I’m aware of. Even better, he doesn’t stay in the safety of the Green Zone to do his reporting, as so many others do.

Strangely, the main stream media tends to ignore reporters like Yon, seemingly prefering to focus on any set backs that occur, regardless of how small they might be. Meanwhile, significant progress is pretty much universally ignored by the media.

Yon doesn’t just write about sweetness and light, however. He has reported in a non-biased manner that has irritated people of all points of view at one point or the other. Regardless of your opinion of the war, its good to hear how its actually going without personal and political agendas interferring with the reporting.

I have heard from someone very close to me that the progress in Iraq has been unbelievable since the beginning of the surge. I believe him and am grateful that I can get some reports from people who actually know what’s going on there.

Thanks to Hot Air and Jawa Report for the video.
