Iraq: the 5-year plan
A number of senators on a "fact-finding" mission to Iraq are now saying the US could be there for 5 years.
Meanwhile, Iraqi officials report another pipeline explosion near Syria, which US officials were apparently unaware of.
It might be a long 5 years.
In other news, former Iraqi soldiers, who were offering the Americans the choice of guns or butter, are going to paid after all. But are Bremer and the rest of the administrators over there sure they won't use that government hand-out check to buy crack - or more and better weapons?
