Iraq Continues to Crumble.

Things seem to be getting worse in Baghdad. This Times of London piece from last week confirms how out of control things are. And, our leaders say things are getting better, right?

Plus, they now have to deal with the situation in Israel and Lebanon. How can they do two things at once?

UPDATE (7/18): And the UN reports that over 3,000 civilians were killed in Iraq in June. According to the NY Times:
This sharp upward trend reflected the dire security situation in Iraq as sectarian violence has worsened and Iraqi and American government forces have been powerless to stop it.
