The clown show continues
Some bitter humor here:
Wouldn't that be, say, all of Iraq? I mean, you can't even get from the airport to the city of Baghdad without a small private army. The only places we control are the ones that substantial troops are standing on.
More bitter humor: Bush's support for the 9/11 commission's recommendations was, as anyone could have guessed, a sham abandoned as soon as Ohio went red. The "Pentagon" torpedoed this, but Bush "supported" it? I think Bush could overrule Rummy on this if he desired. Rumsfield kind of owes Bush big; on account of not being fired for gross incompetence.
Sigh. I guess the upside of being bogged down in Iraq is that it will be harded to invade Iran. But then, they may just want to bomb the crap out of Iran instead.
Senior U.S. military commanders in Iraq say it is increasingly likely they will need a further increase in combat forces to go after remaining areas of resistance in the country.
