Dog might be at work. It's a shame when that gets in the way of freeping.

You know what THEY are going to say, don't you? Bush is responding to the political polls and just trying to look like they are really doing something in Iraq.

I was amazed to flip over to CNN and hear them using Bush's talking points. Paraphasing:

'The US is SUCCESSFULLY following it's plan to use more and more Iraqi forces as they get trained.'

I love that quote. Have you read "Appointment in Samarra" by John O'Hara? An excellent novel about self-destruction. Sort of F. Scott Fitzgerald-ish but set in the 40's.

Or else just taking matters into their own hands. Note that this is an Iraqi ground operation. The time has been right for a settling of accounts, the Arab way, for three years. It's about time.

The Arab Way: Anything less would be downright civilized. And that would never do.

Maybe that is why Iran is ready to talk? They don't like what's happening to their terrorists in Iraq. Now they're REALLY not going to like what's happening to their boys.

In fact, as you probably know, O'Hara quoted that passage before Chapter I.
