A new U.S. intelligence report released today showed that there is serious doubt in Iraq Prime Minister Nouri Maliki’s ability to bring political unity. The report states that the next six - 12 months will be a very fragile time for the Iraqi government. We should probably build the largest and most expensive embassy the world has ever seen so we can keep a close eye on the oil — er, I mean the goal to bring political unity to the Iraqi government. Oh. Wait. We already are.

Speaking of Iraq, I read today that President Bush compared Iraq to Vietnam. I wish he would make up his mind if it is another Vietnam or if it isn’t. I also wish that he would put as much effort into getting the troops out of Iraq (we only have 160,000 over there) as he does defending why they’re there. I found ironic, if not a bit sad that the day Bush made his latest case for why we should stay, the state of Texas executed its 400th prisoner since they reinstated the death penalty in 1976.

Did I mention we have 160,000 troops in Iraq right now?
