SLEEPING IN THE GREEN ZONE

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) let us know who safe the Green Zone really is during an interview with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune:
When I went to sleep in the Green Zone -- the safest place in Iraq -- they said "put your body armor and helmet at the end of your bed because when the sirens go off, you have four to six minutes to get it on."

And what did Cheney say over 2 years ago?
May 30, 2005 “The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they’re in the last throes, if you will, of the onsurgency.” —Dick Cheney


Durbin also said that our troops are nearing the breaking point and that Petraeus agreed with that assessment.
