That status-of-forces agreement remains subject to change, by mutual agreement, and Army planners acknowledge privately that they are examining projections that could see the number of Americans hovering between 30,000 and 50,000–and some say as high as 70,000–for a substantial time even beyond 2011.

OK … let’s tally this up. No increase in the capital gains and dividends tax, no increasing the tax rates on people making more than $250,000 a year, no windfall profits tax on oil companies, Robert Gates Secretary of Defense, in Iraq for … oh never mind.

    Ah yes, more of the same, more of the good 'ol boys club. Where is my Sarah?
