Baghdad, Iraq - Four years into the Iraq War, American soldiers continue to serve their country, battling sectarian violence in an explosive civil conflict between Sunnis and Shiites. Commanders and soldiers on the ground report progress propping up the new government and training a Naked-Gun-like Iraqi police force but continue to express concerns about American sentiment back home. "We're so tired of everyone thanking us. We know you don't want us here. You have to thank us or you'll be accused of not be supporting our mission," an unnamed soldier remarked. Joe Biden, the Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued an apology to the troops. "I want to extend our sincere gratitude to the troops for expressing their concern. Thank you for your service to our nation. We support you."
