Not feeling great, but there's a bunch of interesting topics today:

Vanity Fair has a long article backgrounding the Iran push.

In Iraq: FoxNews is reporting that two senior Iraqi generals are being interrogated for possible knowledge of the Karbala attack.

Kuwaiti News is reporting that the US found a warehouse full of "uniforms identical to those worn by the US marines." (A battalion's worth.)

(TPM, DefenseTech) The CBO estimates that "the surge" will be more than 21,500 because of support troops.

(AP) All of this despite the fact that the actual "commander on the ground," General Casey said that he would want, at most, half the number the President is sending.

And, Mary Cheney said, “This is a baby. This is a blessing from God. It is not a political statement. It is not a prop to be used in a debate by people on either side of an issue. It is my child.” (So, her dad and his friends can use other people's baby's as political props, but hers.....)

Question: How does McCain only have $492,487 in his campaign funds? Senators are able to transfer their Senate monies over. (Look at the Dems.) It's not like he didn't know he was running. (Giuliani is allowed to sit on $2 million from a failed 2000 Senate campaign?) (A different look here.)

  • a warehouse full of "uniforms identical to those worn by the US marines." = a wearhouse full of US marine uniforms?
