Iraq is not turning into a quagmire. This is just plain false. The reconstruction is going remarkably well. Every soldier's death is a tragedy and is to be deeply mourned, but it's pure nonsense to say that less than 200 KIAs in a conflict in which a country of 25 million people was occupied is a disaster over which the French have cause to be "triumphalist."

The Bush administration is sending out these feelers for help not because we are becoming "mired" in Iraq, but because we're hemorrhaging cash at an alarming rate. It's the expense that's got Dubya worried, as well he should be.

Something to remember:

The only thing in common with French's Mustard and France is:

They are both yellow!
