More cannon-fodder. The only difference it will make is for the worse. That is how it ALWAYS has been with the Dumbyass. Always.

Eh?! Good luck, idiots! :-)

Australian Broadcasting Corp's Washington Correspondent Michael Rowland reports :

MICHAEL ROWLAND: At a time when the Bush administration is reviewing its limited options in Iraq, General Michael Hayden has delivered a reality check.

MICHAEL HAYDEN: In Iraq today there is criminality and lawlessness on a broad scale. In Iraq today there are rival militias competing for power.

Any Iraqi leader, no matter how skilful, is going to be hard-pressed to reconcile the divergent perspectives that I've mentioned. Divergent perspectives that Shi'a and Sunnis and Kurds bring to the table and also unfortunately very often bring to the streets.

And to deal with that, against a backdrop of an intentional al-Qaeda campaign of almost satanic terror.

20,000 more in Baghdad as GWB suggested could make a very big difference...

So one or two Friedmans later, will you weasel out because you said "could" instead of "would"?!

Let me tell you what phrase I would use - "will NOT make ANY difference - except for the worse" :-)
