Meanwhile in Northern Iraq

Gunfire erupted Wednesday as hundreds of Arab and Turkmens marched in protest over fears of Kurdish domination in the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk, and police said two people were killed.  article

Well, there you go. Things are truly improving. Now that the Kurds are in negotiating position, I guess the rest of the people are ruffled. You know, this brings to mind what Rumsfiend said about what we were facing: "A long, hard slog."

What he meant to say, of course....

But actually, I think that was a serious understatement.

On New Year's Eve, U.S. soldiers and Iraqi police stepped up security in Baghdad, erecting more razor wire and checkpoints in key areas.

American version of liberation.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
