silver lining.

(oh, and: iraqi civil war related regional destabilization activities might provide certain hawks who, recently, may have begun to rue the actual costs and benefits of what they had, apparently, assumed would be operation cake walk, with an opportunity/excuse/reason to bring the boys and girls back home... or to move them to some other location, nearer that theater.


gold?)
