Frankly I don't see the Iraqi's taking a stand for themselves anytime in the near future. IMHO it would take a miracle.

They're already taking a stand in many ways. You think all these new police officers don't know they and their families are targets? Yet they persevere, for freedom.

"Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said more U.S. troops are needed in Iraq. He said the situation there is deteriorating and "we need more boots on the ground." "Bush needs to stick one of his boots up McCain's arse and the other boot up Kristol's. As for the Bremer-Rumsfeld-Powell, as government employees, they can never see the end of a government job. Go with the Rove view is 'It's election time, stupid. Get those men out of hot sun and parade them home - Iraq has been freed - Mission Accomplished'.

"The notion that we are about to throw the council to the wolves is exaggerated," said a third senior administration official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
An interesting phrase - "The notion that we are about to throw the council to the wolves is exaggerated." Are they going to dangle them over the wolves and let the wolves nip their heels?

As of Monday, the U.S. death toll was 394. Plus the ~3,000 civilian deaths we suffered on the first day of the war.
