TODAY'S MIS-LEAD: Government To Call More Troops One Week After Bush Says
They're Not Needed
President Bush indicated just last week that additional U.S. troops would
not be needed in Iraq, saying, "General Abizaid makes the decision as to
whether or not he needs more troops... And he told me he does [have enough
troops]." But Thursday, the Pentagon announced plans to temporarily

oil-related services in Iraq. In a convenient coincidence, the cancellation
of Halliburton's contract comes just two days after House Republicans
stripped the Iraq supplemental bill of an anti-profiteering provision which
would have held companies holding contracts with the U.S. government
criminally accountable for price gouging.
