An aside from Colorado matters, did anyone notice that Condi had to sneak into Iraq again today? Of course, somewhere in that cavern called a mind she still believes we believe it was a "surprise" visit. In reality, the security situation there is so bad that our officials, Prez included, can't announce their arrivals for fear of shoulder-fired missiles.

Stayin' the course: 22 Americans dead there this week. We aren't even bothering to count the Iraqis. God bless Amerika!
