The Coalition of the--uh, Two or Three, Actually

The Washington Post reports that many in the Occupation Coalition are looking for ways to cut and run. Pretty soon, I'm guessing it will be down to the US, Britain, and El Salvador. Meanwhile, Today in Iraq notes that Halliburton has suspended supply convoys because they can't guarantee the safety of the drivers, and supply lines are being contested by resistance fighters.

The US IS reaching out, though, to some of Saddam Hussein's former officer corps, in a desperate attempt to get a handle on the situation, although neither they nor 10,000 more troops can close the lid of the Pandora's Box that Iraq has become.

I wonder how the "new" schools in Fallujah are handling the latest assault...
