Meanwhile in the reality of Iraq

(Reuters) SCIRI leader al-Hakim accuses the Sunnis of genocide. (You may remember Hakim as the center of Hadley's plan for a cross sectarian "moderate" alliance just a month ago.)

(Reuters) Bush claimed that Maliki requested the surge? (Against everything else he has ever said publicly?)

(Daily Mail) The British aren't surging.

(AFP) Reported main points of Bush's Iraq plan.

The press keeps reprinting Maliki's claim that the current push will hit all sectarian factions, but thus far, all the actions are against the Sunnis. (Reuters) The Iraqis at Haifa street had to call in US air support. (LATimes) A big operation in the countryside of Diyala.

(BBC) 1 in 8 Iraqis have now been "displaced."

(USAToday) Polling shows Americans very against the surge.

(AP) The fight starts at the edge of Sadr City.

Also: Was this a real sub collision or a message to Iran?
