And absolutely no acknowledgement of non-US deployment, a number which 
is around 250,000 according to CNN this morning.  (Thought that high
myself but that was what they said).  Regardless, the non-US componenet
is significant and may be critical since it gives numerical superiority
over the Iraquis.
