So much today, right before Christmas.
(LATimes) Abizaid to leave his post in March.
(Time) The Bush administration is trying to topple Syria. (That will gain alot of cooperation, eh?)
(WaPo) "U.S. soldiers serving repeated Iraq deployments are 50 percent more likely than those with one tour to suffer from acute combat stress, raising their risk of post-traumatic stress disorder."
(NYTimes) Military Role in U.S. Embassies Creates Strains, Report Says
(AP) Rumsfeld resisted increasing the size of the military.

Good point.
I don't know if they're really trying to topple or if they're just agitating to try to force action, but again, a very dangerous game. The US was able to pull off Lebanon (at least temporarily) but what happens if the Syrian government falls and it's traced back tyo the US?
