"At Least It Can't Get Any Worse" - Iraq Version

I just realized that following the Minnesota Vikings tumble is much like following the Iraq War. Once you can't inmagine it getting worse, it does.

Juan Cole has posted this stunning e-mail from an "an observer in Iraq" detailing how bad things have gotten in Baghdad recent days. It appears the insurgents control numerous neighborhoods and that the Jaafari government is warning people to just stay home.

Then there is the Billion Dollar theft from Iraq's Defence Ministry. (I wonder if Senator Joker (R MN) will be looking into this one).

And if you're looking to the South for solace ... forget it. Apparently the British are having to fight off the Iraqi police in Basra.
