Just as my driver pulled out the front gate of my compound, cryptic messages started to squawk across my radio. Two security officers had something very important that they wanted to talk about. Over the next few minutes, I learned that the security office had just heard that a car bomber might be driving around inside the Green Zone. Oddly, even though the security officers knew all of this as I left my compound, one of them still smiled and waved at me as I drove through the front gate. (Thankfully, no car bomb blew up inside the Green Zone that day.)

And in other news . . . senior American military officers are growing more pessimistic about the war. Now, some are openly admitting that they can't win militarily.
