This isn't anywhere near as bad as the media is painting it to be. We've known for over a month the left was already setting the media stage to drag defeat from the jaws of defeat once again. The Iraqi government will form a coalition of parties - which I worry about because one only ha to look at the EU to realize the danger of governments trying to rule by consensus.

Also THANK YOU Poland, and MERRY CHRISTMAS.
