This story from yahoo.com news this morning gives us another glimpse into how well the surge is working in Iraqnam and how efficient the Maliki government has become in quelling ethnic violence in this, our 51st state.
BAGHDAD - Baghdad shook with bombings and political upheaval Wednesday as the largest Sunni Arab bloc quit the government and a suicide attacker blew up his fuel tanker in one of several attacks that claimed 142 lives nationwide.
The Iraqi Accordance Front's withdrawal from the Cabinet leaves only two Sunnis in the 40-member body, undermining Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's efforts to pull together rival factions and pass reconciliation laws the U.S. considers benchmarks that could lead to sectarian reconciliation.
This debacle would be laughable if it wasn't so horrible. Yet we have stalwarts on the neocon side, all of whom have never been in a war, who claim daily that things are getting better in Iraqnam. Given their convictions on how well we are progressing, I think these individuals need to be on the next C-5 transport leaving for Baghdad, and they need to stay there until the mission is finally accomplished.
