Michael Yon update

Was just reading Michael Yon'd latest update. The Battle of Mosul IV. The description of how things went on there and how the Iraqi Police have been trained and are improving is quite impressive. Of vital importance is his summation where he explains why we must carry on in Iraq. I know some of you guys don't think that but I am curious as to what you think of his reasoning.
I have been saying much the same thing as he is saying all along but he says it with more authority and style. He has spent more time in the fight than I did.
It is a long post but well worth reading.
