Iraq Power Grid Near Collapse

Here is another indication of the progress we continue to make in Iraqnam.

BAGHDAD - Iraq's power grid is on the brink of collapse because of insurgent sabotage, rising demand, fuel shortages and provinces that are unplugging local power stations from the national grid, officials said Saturday.

Electricity Ministry spokesman Aziz al-Shimari said power generation nationally is only meeting half the demand, and there had been four nationwide blackouts over the past two days. The shortages across the country are the worst since the summer of 2003, shortly after the U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, he said.

I am just so happy to see that the well thought out actions employed by the Bush Abomination to win the peace in Iraqnam continue to bear such endearing fruits. No wonder the entire Muslim world just adores the United States and its leaders.
