Picture of the Day













It's from here.

And, don't miss the WaPo piece on Rumsfeld's visit with the wives of the 172nd stryker brigade. After saying that he couldn't guarantee that the 172nd would be coming home after their already 3 month extension,
In an interview during his flight to Fairbanks, Rumsfeld said he saw no reason for the soldiers or their families to be angry at him.

"I don't put it in that context," he said. "These people are all volunteers. They all signed up. They all are there doing what they're doing because they want to do it. They're proud of what they do. They do it very, very well."


There's a reason the guys in uniform have grown to hate Rumsfeld.

  • But even so, 63% of the Kurds want us gone, and outside Tikrit, in the Kurdish lands proper, we only have a couple hundred troops.

    And the Shia aren't going to let Tikrit go. At the end of 2007 when the referendum is held on Kurdish independence, it's going to get very ugly.
