We don't need to stinkin diplomacy, said Dubya, as he prepares to call up a bunch more weekend warriors because he has pissed off everyone who might have helped us militarily:

WASHINGTON -- The burden of peacekeeping missions in Iraq and Afghanistan is expected to force the Pentagon to start calling up as many as 10,000 National Guard soldiers as soon as this winter for duty in Iraq, straining the force of part-time soldiers who have been mobilized repeatedly since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The refusal of U.S. allies to send large contingents of their own has helped drive the Pentagon to consider the move. This week India, which Washington had been counting on to contribute as many as 15,000 troops to Iraq, said it couldn't participate without United Nations authorization. Even allies who supported the war have failed to follow through with major commitments. Hungary pledged a truck company for Iraq. But, defense officials later learned the Hungarians were willing to send 133 drivers, but no trucks or mechanics.

>>>Yesterday, he testifies that his staff didn't bring the the SOTU/Niger issue to his attention.<<<

It is a common Washington practice to identify an individual with no political support and one with no dirt on any superiors and pummel him/her. Its just a matter of time before the administration singles out this low-ranking culprit. I'm sure that in some Langley office there is a game of musical chairs being played by the helpless.

God, I am going to miss Washington.
