Since human troops haven't been doing too well in Iraq...

Robots! I'll pass on making any Kraftwerks jokes. Feel free to use to comments to make them...

On the radio this morning, some random MN Republican, pro-war, gets the following question "Since the invasion was illegal, the occupation is illegal, and the resistance is justified, why do you not support negotiating with the Iraqi people?" Parked the car so I didn't get to hear the answer. Oh well...

And the Bushites want another $80B for the war. That'll bring it up to about $300B so far. A bit higher than the "Iraqi oil will pay for nearly all of the costs" estimate. Another estimate which seems a bit far off, the claim that there are about 120k Iraqi troops trained and equiped. It appears that the actual number is somewhat less than 10K. Ooops!
