Just extremely frustrated lately....
I work with the Iraqi Army (IA) Mafia. Literally, these guys are crooks. i met with a higher ranking officer today and he gave me an inside knowledge of the inner working of this army, government, country.
Not to be specific, but money and power are the only thing that drives the hearts and minds of those in power. now I'm not naive to the problems in our own country, but they are NOTHING compared the struggles a common good standing, good hearted man in Iraq faces. Corruption is at ALL echelons.....
and that is all i can go with this, but just know that it is my heart is sad, my mind is tired. I'm banging my head against this bloody wall built by the devil. and without a SERIOUS events in order to change the mind of those in power, my best advice to those Iraqis with the ability to leave this country.... is to leave and hopefully God will see it within His wisdom to do what needs to be done.
Not to say that the fight by US troops is in vain... but somewhere in turning over the country to the Iraqis, the noble fight is lost and hope diminished.
Sorry, just one of those days. Now i can understand the struggles of the ancient prophets of old in the Book of Mormon.
yeah, this is a bad thing...
Wrong place to be stuck

Clint, thank you for the post. Hang in there, you are doing the right 'stuff.' Our thoughts are constantly with you, your bro and your men. Keep up the good work and positive attitude! We continually wait for the next post. Love, Cindy
Clint -- we can appreciate your pain and your vision. Isn't it great to know ANOTHER WAY, other than the corrupt "traditions of their fathers"? We are so blessed, but need also to watch our ways. Hang in there -- continue to be a good example....and keep your sense of humor.
Love, Mom
I hear ya brotha. But there are some good ones out there. Hopefully they can make it to the top. I wishfully say that but know it is close to impossible.
Down here I've seen some good ones, but there still is corruption everywhere.
Good point on the Book of Mormon prophets.
