Gosh, it’s working well…
This run up to elections in Iraq, that is.
Ha.
If you’ve never read the blog Baghdad Burning, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It paints an image of Iraq that is squarely at odds with what our SCLM would have you believe. For example, from todays entry:
“It’s amazing how as things get worse, you begin to require less and less. We have a saying for that in Iraq, “Ili yishoof il mawt, yirdha bil iskhooneh.” Which means, “If you see death, you settle for a fever.” We’ve given up on democracy, security and even electricity. Just bring back the water. “
Nice.
