Iraqi Parliament Off For A Month--Can The American Troops Come Home For A Vacation Too?
i can't believe this parliament has the audacity to take a fucking break.

"BAGHDAD — Iraq's parliament adjourned Monday for an August recess without receiving from the government a series of U.S.-backed draft laws designed to promote national unity and stem support for the Sunni-led insurgency."

2. Imho, they're stalling, trying to find a way around the oil law
the BFEE is forcing on them that would give about 50% of the profits to American oil companies.

It's blackmail and these people are trying to figure a way to fight back. :shrug:
