Good News From Iraq, Part 8

Arthur’s going to it:

Good news, once again, was few and far between. Yet progress continues to be made on the ground in Iraq, even during the most dangerous of times and often against the odds that we – so insulated by the safety, comfort and predictability of life in the West – can hardly even begin to comprehend.

Meanwhile Iraq The Model, The Mesopotamian and Iraq The Model want the end of al Sadr.
