I see nothing nit-picky about pointing out that we are not at war with Iraq (the clear meaning of "war against Iraq"). |

In fact, we have not been at war with Iraq since April 2003. |

It's easier to say than "the war against terrorist forces, many of which are in Iraq and surrounding territories," and most people know what you really mean when you shorten it up. Either way, yes you're right, but I'll continue to give up some clarity in order to be more concise. |

"War in Iraq" sounds fairly concise to me. Even more so than your apparent preference. |

I heard on the radio this morning that the hot-bed-of-death "Anbar Province" can now be turned over to the Iraqis since it's relatively peaceful now? If so, that's amazing. |

Yes. It is the next province to be turned over - I forget whether it is this month or last. There was a thread about it last week or so. |

Nahh, it makes sense. It's just like what they're doing with Oxon Hill and the Naval Yard. They'll have metro stops and their own beltway exit in no time. I just hope it doesn't clutter up 95 any more than it already is. Wait, what? |

I wonder what the relationship between the air strikes and this story is: Iraqi official says Al-Quaeda is an open book.

They have penetrated al-Qaeda. Hopefully, they used Icy-Hot for lube. |
