<***AHEM***> NATO Allies OK Increase in Iraq Training

John Kerry's latest Iraq gambit is blown away by the first paragraph of this AP wire story.

"NATO allies agreed Wednesday to expand the alliance's training mission for Iraqi armed forces after allaying French concerns which had delayed the plans for a week."

It's late. I'll get to Spinchter-Mouth's "alliance-building" slander of Iraqi PM Allawi tomorrow.

Except to say that Lurch can kiss my big, fat American ass.
