In and Out
Apparently the security situation in Baghdad is so bad that a plane carrying Iraq’s Minister of Defense was turned back due to heavy fighting near the airport. The nation also seems to be suffering from an overabundance of irony.
Oh, and remember how we returned soveriegnty to Iraq in June of 2004? And y’know how Iraq is having an election in less than a week? Wonder how that squares with this:
“The U.S. Army expects to keep its troop strength in Iraq at the current level of about 120,000 for at least two more years”
