I strongly encourage everyone to read a new article in the Washington Monthly by Josh Marshall, "The Washington Monthly's Who's Who", covers the rampant cronyism, political patronage and partisanships which are damaging our efforts to rebuild Iraq. Jon Kerry was right, I never expected them to fuck up like this. If nothing else, self-interest should make them realize that they can't let Iraq turn into a horrible disgrace, but maybe they are confident enough the GOP propganda machine's ability to make even the most embarrasing screw up seem like a victory and their supercredulous base to buy whatever nonsense they are selling.
