The current administration would like you to believe that all is going  
according to plan in Iraq. The truth of the matter is that it isn't. In the past  
thirty days there have been 2,368 attacks on civilian and military targets.  
That's a whole lot more than what you see on the evening news.
People that supposed to be reporting for duty from guard units are not  
showing up as ordered. They are being reported AWOL (absent without leave). They  
are not small numbers either. 40% of all guard members with orders are not  
showing up. It appears as though the popularity of war is wearing off.
It's no wonder the president is trying to get other UN member  nations to 
bail him out of this mess.
