Convening Of Iraqi Parliament Delayed Again, 4 Marines Killed And

[cali]

other good news from Iraq. At least 35 people killed in bombings today, 10 kidnapped from 1 place of business, policemen killed, 21 police cadets missing, bodies found..... Just another day of mayhem and murder throughout the country.

How much longer can this go on before the ultimate breaking point is reached? Bad as things are they can get much, much worse. Five months have elapsed since the elections and there's still no government. It's clear that the elections meant nothing. Iraq is on the verge of falling into a full fledged civil war from a low level one. The tension between factions grows each day that a government isn't in place.

1. There's gotta be some good news in there somewhere,

Just keep searching through the piles of rubble. There's a feel-good story in there somewhere, I just know it!

2. But our own Baghdad Bob's inability to admit that things are bad...

ensures that they will get worse. The hubris of this administration will ultimately be its downfall (and unfortunately, they might take the country with them).

3. Here's the good news

(Bless those troops) (and the other fatalities).

On Yahoo news, it says, "Embattled Rumsfeld on the Defensive". The article says that Bush and Rumsfeld are under intense pressure to show some improvement in Iraq".

"Generals Clamoring for Rumsfeld's ouster"

Rumsfeld has been at it for 6 years. And he's going to improve now? Like, within 2 or 3 weeks so they can show some improvement before the mid-term elections?

Yeah right.

They'll throw him out, and then maybe things will improve.

4. But hey, don't forget Iran.
