This winter is the first time I am generally discouraged about economic trends in Iraq. While there is some good news, for the first time there is no more good news than bad news.
The Army has truly distinguished itself over the last several years adapting to some very difficult circumstances. But the fact is the troops are tired now and a lot of their equipment is in the shop.
We have had too many bases. We need to be more efficient.

It's all to the good, as far as I'm concerned. We're at war. The Army and Marine Corps have been getting beat up.
