With Blair's fly-by visit to Iraq, we're hearing all of the usual stuff about progress. I thought that I even just heard on the BBC that the new Iraqi PM said something about troop cutbacks by the end of the year or the Iraq army taking over. It's hard to pay much attention to it all because we've been there so many damned times. While insisting at the press conference that sectarian violence doesn't exist in Iraq (uh huh) and that there is no civil war, new PM Maliki is shows that he is new to the position, but he has all of the classic talking points already worked out.
