Reuters: "The U.S. military, faced with unrelenting violence in Baghdad, may boost its force in Iraq by delaying the scheduled departure of some troops involved in routine rotations, officials said on Wednesday." (But note the military's position: It is not a troop increase even though more troops will be there. -mike)

Reuters: In an article on the rising global anti-US sentiment, "In South Korea, traditionally a U.S. ally, two-thirds of people under 30 said in a recent poll that if there were war between North Korea and the United States, they would side with North Korea."

Ken Silverstein: Bush is considering sending US troops to the Israel Lebanon border?

Rolling Stone: The headline story is elements of the Neocons planning for war with Iran in 2003, but to me, the AIPAC executives using Larry Franklin as an agent for their cause is far bigger deal.

And, there's an Enquirer reader in all of us. (81-38=43)

  • I can understand the anti-US feelings, but if South Korea wants to live under Kim, well how stupid is that choice.

  • Right, so having sex in the back of a car is normal when you're a teenager but deeply disturbing when your 81.

    This is not going to go over well with the troops I think. Soon they will have to make serious changes to the rules of deployment, or just ignore them.

  • Yeah. I saw an article on falling morale yesterday that I'm trying to track down again.
