On Friday's Al Franken Show)on Air America Radio and the Sundance TV channel), Persident Clinton, among many
other meaty topics he got into, essentially said that we should be less concerned abotu the Downing Memo and who
planned what, when(i.e., Bush had always planned to invade Iraq way before the question about WMD's was publicly aired);
and try to help finish training the Iraqi Police to defend the Iraqis. When you weigh that against Richard Clarke's
column of yesterday(6/19/05--NY Times, Sunday Magazine), it's a lot to consider.
According to another NY Times article last week, training is going very slowly. In one case the Army described,
trainees were supposed to be securing the perimeter of a building, but scattered when they heard the first sound
of attack. I'd run, too. The Army says the process will take years.
