A really fascinating Blogggingheads diavlog between Bob Wright and Eli Lake (from NYSun). Lake is embedded in with the US military in Baghdad. Lake puts on Major Chris Norrie, leader of his company. Norrie is very impressive.

While I don't agree with much of Lake's neoconservative political outlook, I do like his sincerity.

The major piece Lake says which I don't hear on the right is that there is going to be a Rorshach on the surge by September when Petraeus comes to Washington. Namely you'll see whatever you want. As Lake states baldly multiple times, the surge would require at least 10 years.
