You have to give the Bush administration credit: give them lemons and they'll make lemonade (or some kind of yellow liquid).
You would figure that India's decision not to send 17,000 troops to Iraq would be a real downer. But wait! As the New York Times reports today, front page below the fold, plucky Romania is stepping up to the plate! They may be the poorest nation in Europe, but they sent a whole 400 troops to Afghanistan! And they might be willing to help out in Iraq! Of course, you'll notice there's no commitment explicitily stated in the article, but hey, Romania's maybe, possibly, sorta-kinda on board!
Now if the adminsitration can only get Transylvania to volunteer their brigade of flying vampires, we'll win the hearts and minds and blah blah blah.
