Iraq

(McClatchy) The US now negotiating (indirectly) with Iran.

(WaPo) The US cannot even manage an Iraqi debt relief plan.

(WaPo) The WaPo looks at the tactical risks associated with the smaller, scattered "operating bases." The bottom line is that the insurgents are now probing attack methods.

(LATimes) A split within the Baathists? (No one's really clear on what this means or if it's a good thing.)

(KansasCityStar) Barry McCaffrey gave an interview about Iraq. Short version: "We're in trouble."

(HeraldSun) "Withdrawing Australian troops from Iraq would humiliate the US and weaken its prestige as a major world power, Prime Minister John Howard said today." (They're staying in Iraq for nothing to do with the war.)

(AP) "The Air Force's top general expressed frustration on Tuesday with the reassignment of troops under his command to ground jobs for which they were not trained, ranging from guarding prisoners to driving trucks and typing."
