Who's Running Iraq Again?

This from International Reuters:

    BERLIN (Reuters) - German aid organizations evacuated their last four workers from Iraq on Monday due to the deteriorating security situation, a spokesman for one of the groups said.
    The government said two embassy guards feared killed in an ambush last week remained missing.

    A spokesman for the "Aktion Deutschland Hilft" said the last four members of a 10-person team removing munitions from residential areas left Baghdad on a U.N. aircraft for Amman. He said they hoped to return to Baghdad as soon as possible.

Plus kidnappers of Italians want the Italians out of Iraq. And we have a bunch more unaccounted for hostages. Death tolls must be going up in Fallujah, but we're still hearing the grave "600" Iraqis number - mostly women, children, and the elderly. LOTS more are missing.

Tonight, however, the president will tell us only a tiny number of people are involved while the rest of Iraq loves us and we're only there to help ("We're from the American goverment and we're here to hur.. help you."). I wish they would let Helen Thomas ask a question. Ahem.
