HE'S GOT A LITTLE LIST AND THEY'LL NONE OF THEM BE MISSED:
Plans: Next, War on Syria? (Mark Hosenball , 10/04/04, Newsweek)
Deep in the Pentagon, admirals and generals are updating plans for possible U.S. military action in Syria and Iran. The Defense Department unit responsible for military planning for the two troublesome countries is "busier than ever," an administration official says. Some Bush advisers characterize the work as merely an effort to revise routine plans the Pentagon maintains for all contingencies in light of the Iraq war. More skittish bureaucrats say the updates are accompanied by a revived campaign by administration conservatives and neocons for more hard-line U.S. policies toward the countries.

Everything he does is hilarious.
