WE have taken our EYES OFF Iraq last week or so. Cspan1

[rodeodance]

is doing a great segment on Irag. Great speakers--all agree that
Irag IS in a civil war. Chris Shays is the chair of this hearing and
Dennis Kicinnich has asked good questions. Good discussion now.

And dare I say we have been distracted--like the Rose Gargen press
conference just now. Meanwhile several of our troops and hundreds
of Iraqi have died this week.

3. no offense to anyone in particular. It is just that for the most part

there have been few posts about irag on the board. lots of nat. security (the bush agenda)-the debates about the snooping etc. all important, yet so so little about irag.

6. What is the * death toll up to today? The RW media doesn't..

report it anymore so chimpy's thugs will look good in November. Time for Cindy Sheehan to step up again.

5. jim lehrer did a segment on tramatic brain injury. It is not recognized

in many cases or weeks or months. meanwhile the troops are in the field--not really thinking right. some got demoted for not doing jobs, being lazy etc before it was recognized that they had been near blasts months prior.
so sad.
