an update on iraq

with all the hooplah over the economy and the election there is not much attention being paid to iraq. the truth is, now that dianna and annie aren't there, i am not paying much attention either. but this i think deserves some attention.

first, the bush administration is finally doing what obama has suggested for a long time, planning the withdrawal of troops. thank-you. i hope that means more friends coming home and less people coming home hurt!

but even more shocking about the video below, is the calculus that the bush administration uses to determine when the war should end and our troops either come home, or probably more importantly get re-deployed to Afghanistan to fight the war that they should have fought years ago: the war against al-qaeda.
