#1 State Department has taken over. Get ready for more casualties as the Diplomats tie our troops hands.

#2 You've got that right, #1. Liason, in concert, sprinkled...State's words coming out of a Lt.Gen.'s mouth...scary for our GI's.
But decisions on U.S. operations will be made in concert with Iraq's incoming leaders, through liaisons sprinkled through coalition and Iraqi military units, Metz added.

#3 This bodes so ill I can barely type. I trust our military to learn lessons... but not Foggy Bottom.

How involved was State with the Viet Nam War? I see "military advisors" in Metz's statement. It strikes me that we are not nearing the end but just beginning.
