The Bushies try to change the subject...and we're back.

GOOD GAWD was Dubya's speech on immigration a stinker. The best part was the mistakenly broadcast rehearsal on CNN. 6,000 troops sent to the Mexican border for at least one year. This first year, it will cost $1.9 Billion. I'd bet that it goes up thereafter. All the rest - guest worker program, yada yada yada - Dead On Arrival. Why are the Bushies so desperately trying to change the subject? I'd bet that the violence in Iraq has oodles to do with it. If you've got an iron stomach, read the field reporting from the last few days of battles featuring a two-staged attack today on a Baghdad parking garage that left at least 19 dead. The reports of the latest American "victory" in killing 25 "insurgents" hit like a punch in the gut. Now THAT's reporting.
