DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 25 (Reuters) - The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 was an "idiot decision" and Iraqi troops now need to secure Baghdad to ensure the country's future, Vice-President Adel Abdul Mahdi said on Thursday.

"Iraq was put under occupation, which was an idiot decision," Mahdi said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Mahdi said the Iraqi government planned to bring troops in to Baghdad from surrounding areas and said it was "a technical question" for the United States to decide whether to deploy more soldiers.

2. Well,
It is really hard to disagree in this instance with the esteemed Vice President of Iraq.

3. Think we can swap VPs with them?
Our fearless VP sez, "all is well" and "pay no attention to that dismembered corpse behind the curtain!"
