Everything is just hunky-dunky over there according to Rumsfiels, Rice, and Pace.

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice said that despite a surge in sectarian violence in Iraq, the process of creating a stable government is proceeding satisfactorily.

Both Rumsfeld and Rice acknowledged the recent growth in sectarian violence.

"There is a high level of tension in the country, sectarian tension and conflict," Rumsfeld said. But it has not yet become a civil war "by most experts' calculation," he added.

1. My two wishes: the money is not approved, and these
delusional people take their blinders off.

2. The approved phrase is "SECTARIAN STRUGGLE"
That is the one that the journalists have been given, and is approved. Cuz it's NOT civil war.. it's not! it's not!!

3. My two wishes :
1. The money goes for alternative energy research, edumacation, national health care and helping out NO.
2. Bush, Cheney, Rummy and the whole lot are impeached for crimes against humanity.

OK - technically that may be more than two wishes but I figured what the heck, while I am wishing,,,,,,,,,
