New Baghdad mini-bases to be "more like police stations." (Nightline)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

Arent police stations in Baghdad getting blown up regularly?
So that's where the bulk of the fresh 20,000 are going to
be stationed? Simply making them clearer easier targets. Mercy.
I cant believe one single rational person truly believes this
"new plan" will be anything but an expansion of the catatrophe.

1. Doesn't matter.

It keeps the war going and the money flowing for two more years. George gets to walk away letting the Dems deal with the mess, and his friends laugh all the way to the offshore banking havens.
