It looks as though there will be about 200 troops left in Iraq as trainers and 16,000 embassy personnel.

Yes. That was 16,000 that I typed. Sixteen-thousand. Embassy personnel.

They must have an awful lot of cucumber sandwiches to hand around.

It almost seems like it should be the other way around.

I was thinking about what Sam Vimes had to say in, The Fifth Elephant.

Suprised we couldn't get rid of more of the Bush Era earmarks.
