An' jus' in case ol' T is gettin' ready to play that "stalemate" card again the Iraq Study Group today has used the term "dire" in reportin' the US's position in Iraq... "Dire" according to Webster is "arousing terror or causing extreme distress; dreasdful; terrible"...

Hmmmmmm??? Doesn't really sound as if it's a tie game to me...

But the T-zer has a funny way of lookin' at stuff...
