..."looks like Pre-mature IRAQification"

bush*'s numbers specifically related to Iraq are circling the toilet,
and his numbers on other issues are likewise circling or well on their way to the septic tank

the general public reaction to Berg's death was not as I had expected - I figured people would be screaming for bloody nukes to be dropped on Iraq. But quite the contrary - the general reaction has been to ask "Why the hell are WE there in the first place?"

bush has got to show some "positive progress" if he hopes for at least a bump in the polls -- what better way than to turn tail and declare victory?

Mistake? I believe so -- bush* inc is focused on November Selection. The only unity in Iraq at the moment is to get us out of there. Once we are gone -- all bets are off regarding Iraqi unity. Civil War and further destablization of the region is a very probable.
