Well, I guess after some reflection I have no real idea what the hell they're planning to do next. My first thought was that this is just "stay the course" with a new ribbon on it. Or, maybe, we're going to buy al-Sadr off with a billion bucks. Or, maybe, we're going to attack a few more countries (Wots... uh the deal with patriot missiles). Or, maybe, we're going to tell the troops to feel free to kill a bit more freely. Or maybe we're going to do all of these things simultaneously without any understanding that they don't really fit together very well.
Thanks oh wise men of Washington.
