The One Month Countdown

Thirty-one days from today, on June 30th, we (rhetorically speaking) turn control of Iraq over to the Iraqi people.

It's going to be an interesting month, in any respect. Frankly, however, I expected huge amounts of violence to follow the announcement of Allawi's naming as prime minister on Friday. That has not come to pass (and there's really no indication the Saudi killings and taking of hostages had anything to do with this directly).

But then, coverage today has been limited to honoring the WWII veterans. News networks can't multitask.
