So, after the third straight day of non news, watching the networks focus on a dude taking a trip on an airplane, the situation in Iraq seems to of (gasp!) worsened. One of the few success stories there (The relative stability in the north Kurdish controlled areas) is looking like it may become another clusterfuck. Both Turkey and Iran have started working together blowing up the Kurds in their respective countries and even taking a few potshots into Iraq, a country currently occupied by tens of thousands of U.S. Soldiers. Both Iran and Turkey expressed frustration at America's reluctance to handle the guerilla groups that have been launching attacks from Iraq into Turkey, and Turkish officials have also hinted that may be heading into Iraq in what would be a large-scale invasion.
I can't totally blame them, it would be better than the reason we went in.
