"Diplomats seek war gear as troops exit Iraq" by Associated Press | June 15, 2010
Just go to the tag sales.
WASHINGTON — The State Department says its diplomatic staff won’t be safe after the American military leaves Iraq unless it has its own combat-ready protection force, a warning that underscores concerns about the Iraq army and police the US has spent billions of dollars training and equipping.
What a WASTE of f***ing tax money, 'eh, Americans?

Iraq’s new Parliament convened for just under 20 minutes yesterday...

They didn't steal any money and just burned documents.
Political instability in Iraq has raised fears of renewed religious violence and concerns that Al Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgents are trying to exploit the deadlock to foment unrest and derail security gains....
Gee, those last two paragraphs sure looked familiar.
"The session began amid heightened security, a day after insurgents stormed the country’s central bank in an attack that left more than 20 people dead.
Persistent violence has raised fears that Al Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgent groups are trying to exploit the political deadlock to foment unrest and derail security gains as the US military prepares to withdraw by the end of next year."
Well, ALMOST VERBATIM save for a few changes.
PFFFFFFTTTT!!!
