Just saw that happy piece of news in my inbox. Thought I'd share it with everyone.

This will help us by miles in the eyes of the Iraqi people (who have a big election coming up Saturday). Go Obama!

And...let the lawsuits commence.

I can only wonder who they will go to work for now? The Saudis? Mujahedeen? Somali pirates? Anybody that needs an army and has a lot of money? You can bet they will not be unemployed for long.
