#1 And, presumably (admits being busy and lazy and not having checked), as per usual, the USG has not responded to this latest slander. The big lie, repeated, may work - but leaving it unchallenged almost guarantees its success. This, of course, has been the administration's greatest failing (ranking just above remaining silent on the war, and not insisting on results from Casey and Abizaid).

Since coming back I've been fighting the feeling that the country is just too otherwise busy, and disinclined to difficult messy problems, to be a serious country about Iraq and the wider war. My resistance to the idea declines with every passing week, and almost every conversation.
