| Aswat al-Iraq: The commander of the Multi National Forces (MNF) in northern Iraq on Monday said that there is a possibility that Al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) Organization could return to areas throughout the country, revealing that numbers of foreign fighters in Iraq have been reduced during the last six months. "Developments in the security situation are brittle," the commander said in a televised press conference. "Five MNF units are working with Iraqi troops to monitor Iraq's border with Syria," he added. |

| #2 Syria. It has been a sore spot all along -- and is the last Baathist government. One can only hope that if/when Israel hits Iran they will pop Damascus as well. |

| #1 Which part of "long war" don't people understand? I fear, and sorta predict: around 50% of the US populace has demonstrated its short attention span and disconnection from its own reality, the US political class is breath-takingly cowardly and clueless, the world is now utterly dependent on US will and resources in the key battles ..... therefore the path to eventual victory will be much, much longer and more costly than it needs to be. But maybe I'm wrong. |
