Is anyone fooled by this? That 2007 is the year of Jobs for Iraqis? That the issue is as trivial as unemployment? That even if it was, that the jobs will be delivered? That the largest cesspit of corruption on the planet will distribute $1 billion to the people who need it? That five "additional" combat brigades -- relieved by troops denied their rights to either go home or stay home -- will "secure" Baghdad, whatever that means? That Baghdad will stay "secure"? That "security" will compel a lasting sectarian compromise?

Anyone?
