A Dispatch from Michael Yon

Michael has posted his latest dispatch from the war. For the moment he is leaving Iraq, but appears to be planning to return. He notes . . .

More than eight months of embed with American combat soldiers ended. I already missed them, but I sure was happy to be out of that war.

He also notest the progress on helping a little Iraqi girl. It's not promising.

Sadly, due to a snag in paperwork with US Immigration, a very sick child is stuck in Jordan. Her well being, possibly her life, is on hold over some trivial forms. It was as if she had been found and lifted by angels, only to be stopped and left to sit outside the gates while nameless guards check her ID card against the roster. The only thing certain is that without treatment Rhma will die.
