Congratulations to @BarackObama, @JoeBiden and #Hillary for ending the war in #Iraq and investigating and punishing those who launched it and/or promoted it with their #WeaponsOfMassDeception.
John Stauber has a point and then some.
Have you seen what's going on Iraq?

We noted the protests last edition with "In Iraq."
Saturday, Alissa J. Rubin (NEW YORK TIMES) reported:
When peaceful protesters poured
into the Iraqi streets this past week, demanding an end to widespread
government corruption, unemployment and a lack of basic services, the
government was caught off guard.
The Iraqi leadership shut down
the internet, imposed a curfew, deployed security forces and was largely
unapologetic when they opened fire on demonstrators.
Over the past week, the police killed at least 91 people, and had wounded more than 2,000 as of Saturday.
And the death toll keeps climbing -- as does the number injured. Lives are being destroyed.
Real people.
Who is going to help the people of Iraq? And when?
