President Bush (the one from the United States, in case you've just woken up from a coma) has a variety of meetings scheduled to discuss the progress of the situation in Iraq. That little place where they sent a bunch of soldiers to bring democracy. Whether the people wanted it or not.
Important fellows within the armed forces are concerned because they think their resources are less than optimally assigned, and fear decreased recruiting. It seems a new and revolutionary study demonstrates that not too many people are intensely excited about the prospect of spending months at a time in a hostile place, where they're not welcome, they don't understand the culture, are far from their loved ones and kids blow up without warning.
The Government Accountability Office... wait, did I type that right? There is such a thing? Crazy stuff. Anyway, they say that at least 13 of the 18 goals they had for the situation in Iraq have not been met yet. Among them, having a Starbucks and/or McDonald's on every corner, building some corners, pillaging natural resources, establishing a stable administration, outsourcing everything to the citizens for 60 cents an hour, diminishing guerilla attacks, collaborating with urbanization efforts, saving the souls of the children through the love of Jesus and touching the public's hearts with images of the president playing baseball with the troops and the people in the first stadium of the country.
According to a lawsuit, three teenage girls were stripped and searched during a visit to a juvenile detention center. They had agreed to the visit in exchange for pleading guilty to a crime so small I don't even care to mention it. The thing is, had they known they were going to be stripped, they wouldn't have gone.
Others, had they known, would've taken a camera.
Boomm. I'd stay and chat, but I'd rather hit my head against any sort of wall.
