Subject: [lbo-talk] This just in, Chickens have lips

Only a month ago, in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee,
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was playing down any notion of
surprise at the extent of postwar fighting. "As we expected and planned
for," he told the House committee, "smaller combat operations in Iraq
continue, even as we work with Iraqis to establish stable and secure areas
throughout Iraq."
"Expected and planned for"? Mortar attacks, drive-by shootings, ambushes
in broad daylight, 32 U.S. soldiers slain since May -- all this after
President Bush declared Baghdad a done deal? Yeah, Wolfowitz and company saw
it coming, all right. Chickens also have lips.
