So they're going to send a token force of 500-2,000 - or so said Andrea Mitchell on Meet the Press yesterday (who, by the way, was very tough on Sen John Warner on the admin's war lies - since she's Mrs Alan Greenspan, does that mean bourgeois opinion is shifting?). What could they do? They could get picked off quicker than the guys in Baghdad are falling.
