Good News in Iraq

Dozens of people were killed in a series of bomb blasts that ripped through more than a dozen Iraqi cities on Monday.

The violence shattered what had been a relatively peaceful holy month of Ramadan in Iraq. There were explosions in the northern cities of Kirkuk and Baghdad and the southern Shia cities of Najaf, Kut and Karbala.

[Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi], a Sunni Muslim and one of two vice presidents whose positions are largely ceremonial, said a continued American military presence in Iraq would be "a problem, not a solution."

Key words: largely ceremonial. So we don’t have to pay any attention to him.
