2. It's the hypocrisy; everyone is blaming the Iraq parliament for taking

off, but we're doing the same thing. That could be the difference.

3. The Iraq parliament takes time off when the Bush regime tells them to

To attempt to try and give the Iraq parliament that the US created in the Green Zone while occupying Iraq any credibility is preposterous on its face.

4. Well, for the record, I'm not crazy about the fact that they're taking a

month off when so much needs to be addressed immediately, or yesterday. It'd be nice if Congress made exceptions when the situation warrants them.

5. But you do recognize I hope that it was no coincidence that the...

...phony Iraq parliament that Bush and his goons created inside the Green Zone is taking time off the same time as our Congress does?

And that its all BS? I hope.

But taking such a long recess in modern times is ridiculous.
