Poor, poor George - he had an off day, and as a result he spoke the truth for once.
The Bush administration was last night considering sending more troops to Iraq to reinforce the 130,000 already there as a Shia uprising continued to rock parts of the country and threaten Washington's plans to hand over sovereignty this summer.With 1,200 US Marines and two battalions of Iraqi security forces poised to march into the sealed-off city of Fallujah, and with an arrest warrant having been issued for a radical Shia cleric, many observers were predicting an increase in the bloodshed.
An edgy President George Bush tried to brush off the problems, insisting America's plan to transfer sovereignty to the Iraqis on 30 June would not alter. In a speech in North Carolina, he said: "The deadline remains firm. Terrorists can't stand freedom. We're still being challenged in Iraq and the reason why is a free Iraq will be a major defeat in the cause of freedom."

More money...more warm bodies. Another incident, then more money...more warm bodies. Rinse. Repeat. Depressing.
I can't understand how our nation can sit back & let the leadership repeat our historical blunders all over again.

Editor...you are covering this story very well. I hope you understand that we can't go in and comment on each and every posting here...it's more like a journal of the unfolding of this mess.
Shit. Those troops were in hot water before--now they're REALLY sitting ducks. Bush is without a doubt the stupidest man alive. The real problem? He is also the most powerful man alive. God help us, every one.

Please remember, "People have to answer to me, but I don't feel I have to answer to anybody." Bush @ War
