Salon and others are reporting that US troops are still not guarding all the nuclear sites in Iraq. Nor are they providing the law and order that was promised well before the war. Now the New Republic is suggesting (have only seen the blurb as it requires subscription) that the Bush admin wants to pull out the military as soon as possible. Streak reminded me of one of the precepts noted during the Afghanistan war (remember that?): you break it, you fix it. Unfortunately, we didn't do that there (reports are now that warlords are back running the country and the Taliban is making inroads), and our efforts in Iraq look anemic as well. It doesn't make Streak happy and when he isn't happy, he growls.
