RE:"CBS News has Edwards over Cheney by a margin of 81% to 17%" These online polls are too subject to BOTs...little programs that can, in this case, spit out multple "votes".

Got flu shots for myself and my 91 year old mother today while they are still avaialble. I have a BAD feeling about this year's flu season and vaccine shortages. The hurricanes have tought me about the need to take action EARLY in the face of impending threats.

According to one official who attended a meeting that Bremer had with his staff upon his arrival in Baghdad in mid-May of 2003, Bremer was warned he would cause chaos by demobilizing the army. The CIA station chief told him, "That's another 350,000 Iraqis you're pissing off, and they've got guns." According to one source who was at the meeting, Garner then asked if they could discuss the matter further in a smaller meeting. Garner then said: “Before you announce this thing let's do all the pros and cons of this, because we are going to have a hell of a lot of problems with it. There are a hell of a lot more cons than there are pros. Let's line them all up then get on the phone to [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld.” Bremer replied: “I don't have any choice. I have to do this.” Garner then protested further, but Bremer cut him off. “The president told me that de-Baathification comes before the immediate needs of the Iraqi people.” msnbc.msn.com
