My former employer, Knight Ridder, wrote an interesting article last week that didn't get much notice in the US because of Katrina. The news is... the US military has been fought to a stalemate by the insurgents in the Anbar province. Today, the Washington Post reports that Qaim, the largest city near the Suyrian is now in Zarqawi's hands!
Can it get any worse? Yes. Bush still has three years left in his second term. he will make it worse.
