Iraq

20,000 US troops have now been wounded in Iraq. Yes, Tony Snow, "it's a number," but it's a really freakin' big number.

McClatchy has a good article on the "hurdles" of Together Forward. The operation has yielded very little in the searches, (1,200 weapons since August 7) and it appears this is because Iraqi forces are tipping the militias to the plans. That's a big freakin' "hurdle."

AP restates that attacks on Americans are up.

Followup on the reports of Israelis training the Kurdish peshmerga.

And debate on the federalism legislation is still delayed, although the Turks have chimed in with a fairly clear statement that if it passes, they will enter the war.
