They take a vacation; we take a hike

It would seem that politicians are the same the world over…

The Iraq parliament’s recess, starting this July, would likely come without Baghdad politicians reaching agreements considered key to easing sectarian tensions.

You know, I think if they leave town, all our people should be gone by the time they get back. If they don’t care about their country enough to keep on task and do the things they need to do in order to have a country, they don’t deserve any more of our blood or treasure. I’d have our guys pull north into the Kurdish areas and sit there while the southern part of Iraq finishes killing each other off. Then let the Kurds have the whole thing. They can invite their Turkish and Iranian brothers to move in, and the problem just goes away, more or less.
