Iraq, in Today's News 08.20.09

Iraq. Today's Wall Street Journal page one headline: 'Deadly Blasts Test Iraq's Grip, Explosions in Baghdad Kill 95, Challenging Security Amid U.S. Pullback From Cities"

First Afghanistan, now Iraq is slipping away from Obama. If he sticks to his campaign promises to withdraw U.S. forces he will surely face a humiliating defeat. He may anyway.

Times are not so great for Obama currently. He is on the verge of debacles in Afghanistan and Iraq, his national health plan has polarized the nation and is in danger of not passing, and then there is Hillary who, oh so subtly, is undermining him by talking about her issues.

By the way, falling into these messes is not what the cryptocracy expected from Obama. Team Obama better get moving very fast.
