al-Qaida Threat in Iraq 'tiny' (Bremer lied!)

<snip>A top US military official has admitted the number of foreign fighters resisting occupation in Iraq is minuscule.

Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez said in Baghdad on Tuesday the number of foreign resistance troops was "probably a couple of hundred".

The announcement comes in stark contrast to comments made by US-led occupation administrator, Paul Bremer, on Monday.

Bremer told The Times of London on Monday he believed resistance was set to increase, as large numbers of professional fighters continued to move into Iraq each week.

1. Good Bye Sanchez
The US miltary is learning; Tell the truth go spend time with your family....

Isn't it crazy the true military and the far left on the same side?

I think Sanchez has hours until we hear he is retiring to spend more time with the family.
