Iraq and Obama

So I heard two things on Air America today:

A reporter from Dubai pointed out that the mission that Bush is sending our troops into is worse than ever. That he wants us to defeat the Medhi army (why are we doing that?) when we haven't been able to do it when we were stronger and they were weaker. Now they are very strong, and we won't be adding very many more troops. I am disturbed that the White House plan suggests that we will not be in charge of operations, whereas there are Senators making noises that we MUST be in charge of command operations (seeming to suggest that we won't be). They seem to be doing this in order to blame the Iraqis for failure...isn't anyone catching this huge problem in the press?

Obama's trip to L.A. is THE thing to go to. Clinton is seen as old news.
