I dont know about everyone else, but I was hopeful that election would come down to more issues than just the war in Iraq. It appears that simply isnt going to happen.

So it is....Kerrry says the war was a big mistake and has a withdrawal plan that spans 4 years.

Bush says it was worth it to get rid if Hussein and that by setting a date for withdrawal, you are only encouraging disedents to continue their suicide bombings and attacks.

Both guys have much to answer for. Kerry for saying the whole thing is a mistake but voting in favor of it anyhow. Bush for not having a very good idea of what it will take to assure an American withdrawal, and how he was snookered by faulty intelligence.

Things will heat up expodentially as we get closer to V day.

Lets get at it!

And just to stir things up, a Boston Globe columnist who says "Bush's Iraq Illusion" is working on voters, something he regrets.

On the flip side, these two articles at BBC suggest reconstruction is actually taking place at a fairly decent pace in spite of the crazies:

Basra: British troops walking on a volcano but . . . . The article is titled "How Bad Can Things Get?"

And, foreign firms clamouring to get into Iraq in spite of workers being killed:
