Things that Do Not sound like Progress
The movement of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Saturday withdrew its support for the embattled Iraqi government, delivering a fresh blow to the political process of the country.
While that is a statement on the non-existance of an Iraqi unity government, this speaks volumes of what a disaster removing Saddam from power with no contingency plan for leadership in Iraq has been:
Before the US invasion of Iraq deposed dictator Saddam Hussein, the volunteers buried up to 40 people every month. In the war's worst months, that figure increased 50-fold as volunteers buried an average of more than 2,000 anonymous war victims, Ware reports.
Certainly underscores Madeleine Albright's quote of the day.
