A lot of wishful thinking and a very funny smell.

"Patriot air defense systems"? Dude, you can't stop roadside bombs and RPGs with Patriot missiles. Reassuring our friends and allies? Of, exactly, what?

Another carrier group I can sort of understand: more bombs over Baghdad is what that means. Or, of course, Tehran. The DOOFUS had to sneak that old nasty Iran in there. Just mentioning. That's all.

Well maybe that's where the "strategy" comes in, Iran, because the rest was all tactics as far as I can see. Move out of the big forts into, well, smaller forts. Get rid of all those pesky rules. Share the oil revenues, after Big Oil gets its 75%. And - here's my personal fave - stiffen the Iraqis spines.

No, no, I'm not off on a long rant here. There are plenty of other people to do that - I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show. Although, now that I think of it, before we send more billions for "reconstruction" would it be fair to ask where the other billions went? Or is that a secret, like the bunker visitor logs (a note from e)?

Oh no, there are plenty of other things to worry about this morning. Like, why is it 14º out there? Has it turned into winter or something, all of a sudden? (It snowed here Tuesday night, BTW, but before I could get outside to take a picture it had all melted away.)

And Canadian coins. What's with the Canadian coins? Spy passports, now that makes sense, but spy coins? Oh that's low.
