I've never been much for math, but...

The New York Times story today on the readiness of Iraqi units was, shall we say, true, but inaccurate. It is true that only 3 out of roughly 100 Iraqi units are at Level 1 of readiness, on the scale of 1 to 4, with 1 the highest. [emphasis added]

OK. Maybe I'm just snooty, arrogant and hypercritical. Wait, I'm definitely all three, but that's not important. But honestly - what kind of numbering system uses a 1 to 4 scale and makes 1 higher? Doesn't that just completely defeat common sense? Maybe this is from the same guy who keeps saying we have enough troops deployed. Sheesh!
