Dear Parliment...

...wish you were here.



Chad Shue has a postcard for the Iraq parliament, on vacation for a week now...

Over the last week, some 26 American troops have been killed in Iraq. The number of Iraqis killed (Iraqi deaths are estimates only as there is no reliable reporting agency for these figures) numbered between 350 and 600. Also this week, it was reported that the total number of American troops currently in Iraq is at an all time record high of 162,000.

Then there's the Iraqi cabinet, or lack thereof.

There's progress in Iraq, all right. Toward anarchy and interminable war.

Damn.
