I watched the debate last night between Virginia’s “Simple George,” and, “I am better at geography than you,” Jim Webb, and they didn’t exactly bring any bold new ideas about Iraq. George Allen wants to “stay the course” (because we all know how much he loves civil wars), and Webb wants to redeploy and solve this thing through diplomatic channels, calling Iraq’s neighbors into the negotiation mix and referencing the Iraq issue as a regional problem so to get support of the major players in Middle East for making Iraq a stable and safe place (or, in Republican-speak “cut and run”).

Good news, though, the Iraqi “immigration minister” said this morning at least 890,000 Iraqis have already fled the country and more are leaving every day. Somewhere between 100,000 and 300,000 have been killed in either the invasion, occupation or current religious war, and an average of 100 Iraqi’s are shot or blown up with each new day. And just this week, a new weapon to worry about was unleashed on Iraqi uniformed forces causing over 1,200 Iraqi troops and police officers to go to the hospital with severe food poisoning.

Can I hear everybody say

"So Happy It’s Tuesday!"

At this rate, the Iraqi troops will not ever have to stand up because there will not be any Iraqi’s left on Iraqi soil to protect by the end of the current Bush Administration!

When Bob Woodward tells us the administration isn’t giving us the whole truth on Iraq, do you believe him?
