War in Iraq
Base10 watched the Iraqi PM Nuri Kamal al-Maliki address a joint session of Congress and must admit it was touching. He repeatedly thanked the United States and assured us that they were the front line in the fight against terrorism and that we are winning. Some members of Congress boycotted the speech because Maliki refused to condemn Hezbollah. While I don't agree with him, he hasn't said anything different than those expressed by EU Foreign Minister Javier Solana.

Meanwhile, more US troops will move to Bagdhad to help increase security. Some are predicting that there will be a US showdown with radical fatboy cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
