"Rumsfeld Cautions against too Many Troops in Iraq". I swear to God, that is what it says.

"Iraq now 'Less Safe'. Oh, I'd say so.

"Pentagon Dismisses US Troop Poll". A Pentagon spokesman actually said, "It shouldn't surprise anybody that a deployed soldier would rather be at home than deployed . . ."

Is that what Bush has been saying? "It is also important for every American to understand the consequences of pulling out of Iraq before our work is done. . . We would undermine the morale of our troops by betraying the cause for which they have sacrificed."

Now it turns out the troops think the US should get out within a year.

"Iran to Invest $1 Billion in Iraq"

"Late 30s aren't Too Late to Enlist". Jonah Goldberg, Michael Rubin and Dan Senor alert.

Fox News asks, "Could All-Out Civil War in Iraq be a Good Thing?" You can't make this stuff up.

Followed by: "Iraq Civil War: Made up by the Media?".

Coalition Commander Says "Iraq Crisis has Passed."
