In all likelihood, either by tomorrow or the day after (or today, sadly) the total of American casualties in Iraq will surpass two thousand. It will be interesting to see who, besides the progressive media covers the matter. Although to be fair, today's DAILY NEWS has a cover showing G.W. headlined "Darkest Days." His Smugness is said to be 'frustrated' and angry.

Also, the GOP talking heads and loyalists appear to be circling the wagons should any type of indictments come along. Of course, much the same was done by many Dems during the Clinton trial, so it's not hard to understand. Still it's interesting to see many of the same folks who jumped on the bash Bill Clinton for anything bandwagon doing their damnedest to find excuses for the current administration.
