Iraqi Troops: Asleep on the Job?
To which DJ has added: "As he led his platoon across once perilous terrain, Lieutenant Colonel William Zemp was quick to praise Iraqi troops.
Since when does a Lieutenant Colonel command a platoon? That is the job of a butterbar 2Lt...
Discredits the story in the first sentence. A level of MSM incompetance that is almost comical..."
He has a point! There does seem to be a trend in sections of the MSM to knock the Iraqi forces every chance they get. They are always looking to put negative spin on things.

Lt. Col. William Zemp, the CO of 3rd Bn, 320th Field Artillery, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), can certainly lead a platoon of soldiers on patrol if he considers it appropriate to fulfilling his mission. It's part of keeping his hand in with the situation and the men nd women whose lives he is responsible for. Or good leadership. But if he does it everyday his staff aren't giving him enough paperwork!
This is the next part of the media cliche. Just as they told us the South Vietnamese couldn't fight and then they fought the NVA to a standstill for nearly two years until a treacherous Congress cut their supplies.
