Makin' significant progress
Astonishing signs of normalcy in the Indiana-like streets of Iraq

  • 13 more American troops have died today in Iraq, including five killed in a roadside bombing that also killed four Iraqis. That's 14 US troops killed in Iraq in the last 48 hours, 15 in the past three days.

  • The US military acknowledged "an increasing pattern of attacks" against the heavily fortified Green Zone, a day after a mortar barrage sent soldiers and contractors scrambling for cover and a change of underpants.

  • A suicide truck bomber killed 18 and wounded 70 in northern Iraq Thursday after ramming his truck into a government building.

  • Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi took himself off the shortlist for potential prime minister by handing in his resignation, "in a move that reflects the deepening frustration" among top Iraqi officials, most of the fucking planet.
