How's That "Surge" Comin' Again, Dubya? Gen. Betray-Us...?

So much progress:

The main Sunni Arab political bloc quit the Iraqi government on Wednesday in a blow to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, while a suicide bomber driving a fuel truck killed 50 people in one of several car bombs in Baghdad.

The Sunni Accordance Front announced its pull-out from Maliki's Shi'ite-led coalition over his failure to meet a list of about a dozen demands, including a greater say in security matters.

The front's 44 members will remain in the 275-seat parliament. Its withdrawal will have little practical effect on the 15-month-old government, which is virtually paralyzed by infighting but needs only a simple majority to keep functioning.

But the shaky coalition is under pressure from the United States and its allies to end sectarian strife between Shi'ites and Sunnis through national reconciliation.

Washington is unhappy at the slow progress towards political benchmarks meant to draw minority Sunni Arabs, dominant under Saddam Hussein, into the political process and away from an insurgency that has killed tens of thousands.

No plan, no clue, no help from their appointed puppets, no help from the officials actually elected. Thousands of US soldiers killed and maimed, tens of thousands of Iraqis killed and maimed and displaced, billions of dollars going to war-profiteering business associates of the Administration, hundreds of billions of dollars perpetuating this illegal invasion we were lied into.

Why aren't we supposed to impeach these motherfuckers, again?
