2. They're still calling it "Camp Victory"?

With more than 3,000 military dead, how many names of the deceased do you think Mr. Bush will mention in his State of the Whatever address tomorrow night? I'm going to guess anywhere from zero to zero. And of the unnumbered, nameless and faceless dead of Iraq, how many will Mr. Bush mention in commemoration of his fealty to the sanctity of human life? I'm going to guess somewhere between zero and one, that being Saddam Hussein. And Mr. Bush will betray no evidence that he values or valued any of those lives.
