#1 Reading The WaPo So We Don't Have To.

I was just thinking that that giant boom yesterday was made for the Dem Congress' benefit.

Grr.

#2 Wherever Sunnis or Shiites are not encroaching on each other, they turn on the extremists. However, Congress will focus on Bagdhad. Even there, natural movement of persons into ethnic enclaves, will lead to semi peace. Sunnis need to be encouraged to leave the North Tigris, and Shiites the south. Conflict has abated in the capitol, during the Surge, but it will heat up unless enclaves are made semi permanent. Unfortunately, focus on the capitol has led to al-Qaeda in Iraq creating a stronghold in Mosul.

#3 And let's not forget the proxy war we're fighting with Iran(even if Congress would prefer to do so).

The closer we get to September, the more their proxies are going to attack.

We saw what Hezbollah did last year in Lebanon when faced with an IDF hampered by lousy political leadership.

Hopefully our troops won't be the victims of Olmertitis.
