Politics: Occupation Roundup

The Post's Rajiv Chandrasekaran has an excellent (though slightly charitable) round-up of how spectacular our occupation of Iraq is going. But if you're not up to wading through the big story, here's a quick rundown:

1. It's a hundred degrees, but someone keeps blowing up the water mains.

2. Halliburton's doing a bang-up job exporting Iraqi oil to Turkey, but for some reason, people just keep blowing up the pipeline.

3. We killed a Palestinian journalist, who worked for Reuters. (Does anyone want to look into the trend of dark-complected journalists getting offed by US troops? I didn't think so.)

4. British troops found a baby nestled among the rocket-propelled grenades in Basra. Awwwww.
