#1 Iraq is already stabilizing as it is. Sure, we might get attack here and there, but it's nothing like whats it used to be.

#2 Dubya has to disinvite Prez Putty from his announced upcoming visit to Da Ranch. The guy's just a total loss and waste of space. I'd call him a political whore, but that'd be an insult to all whores. The kind I know, and love, are the most honest people on the planet. Putty's the inverse variety.

#4 ... de Villepin wrote that a provisional government should be established in Iraq in a month, a draft constitution by the end of the year and elections next spring.

#5 Ironic that after over 12 years of foot dragging on Iraq before with no intent to do anything, they want an overnight change of power?

Hey France, "Go F*@K yourself!"

Oh, wait...they do make excellent hat racks.

#6 Occupation timetables for Germany and Japan are dated and not applicable to this situation. The timetable for the Syrian occupation of Lebanon would be a closer model, right? ...
