#1 Scroll down on Officers Club's homepage, for a discussion of US field use of After Action Reviews (AARs), to maintain tactical advantage over Iraq terrorists. I like the tactics; the general nation-building strategy is what is unworkable.

#2 "I'm not going to let politics get in the way of doing the right thing in Iraq, and the American people have got to understand that."

That was no "veiled swipe" folks it was the proverbial "shot over the bow".

#3 President Bush said Wednesday that the Iraqi police and armed forces were improving their performance and that if 2006 unfolded as he expected, he should be able to consider reducing the number of American troops in Iraq later this year.

I don't see the need to keep repeating this. Objectives and details should be old hat by now, and anyone that still doesn't get it at this late date should just get a swift boot in the ass instead of an explanation. If GWB really needs to "shore up public opinion", he would do well to point out clearly how the opposition and most of the media are obviously trying to torpedo our chances for success.
