And in other news, Dubya announced a new person to oversee the Iraq situation and hopefully make some changes to whip that sorry mess into a little less of a fiasco and a hell-hole. The name: Condi Rice.

She takes over this task from the person that headed up the "Iraq Stabilization Group" appointed in the immediate aftermath of the invasion. Person by the name of ...... *ta-da* ...... Condi Rice. You know, common sense: When you're in a hole, stop digging....

As I said, Teribus, both you and the person whose hind teat you're sucking on seem to be enamoured with the alway-successful "SOS repeated ad nauseam" tactic.

And the cost of Iraq? A quarter of a trillion dollars ... and over two thousand U.S. soldiers dead (most of them since Condi stepped up to the plate).

Cheers,
