4. There's a photo of Rumsfailed
on Yahoo news. He's in Iraq on a "surprise" visit. He's got a big smile plastered on his face. Next, he'll be meeting with the troops & the commanders.

He'll speak mainly to the troops because he realizes that without them, there IS no war in Iraq. So he has to re-gain their support. There have been stories circulating that the troops have so little faith in him that they are deliberately sabotaging things.

And with numbers like this (63%) you know it's over.
