  • Anyone interested in another inside look into the total incompetence of this Administration immediately following the Commander in Chief's declaration that the war was over, read Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone, by Rajiv Chandrasekaran.

  • Charles Ferguson says "there are probably going to be 50,000 to 75,000 American troops in Iraq for ten, twenty, thirty years." It makes no sense to have 75,000 American troops in Iraq. Experts have told us many times that a counterinsurgency requires a force of about 2 percent of the population to succeed. Iraq has about 20 million people; two percent of that is 400,000. We need to have about that many troops there; otherwise, we should get out.
