* "Paul Bremer said "We never had enough troops on the ground."
"I believe that we currently have sufficient troop levels in Iraq," he said in the statement." as josh marshall ponited out, if the situation in iraq is bad today, then its hard to reconcile those 2 statements - which probably means that there arent enuff troops in iraq today. which means that we need more (if we are there). and that can only mean the draft - unless our international friends somehow get charitable all of a sudden. (dog knows how they are gonna attack iran... yet the war drums continue to pound.)

* how much fun we are gonna have with the bushies trying to keep the (their)world from falling apart before the election. itll be a master feat if they can prevent reality from crashing into the chasm. i hope theyve got some of those purple bandaids left.
