Well, I think one good thread deserves another. So here is a
short list of
bad things that have happened in this
quagmire we call the war in Iraq. I say "short" because 90% of these news stories below are from the past month alone. Much of it gets little attention in the media.
Feel free to add any other links you may know of regarding the NEGATIVE things happening in Iraq.
