Q: Is the Iraqi government and the Iraqi parliament taking the month of August off?
SNOW: Probably, yes. Just not –
Q: They’re taking the entire month of August off, before the September deadline?
SNOW: It looks like they may, yes. Just like the U.S. Congress is.
Q: Have you tried to talk them out of that?
SNOW: You know, it’s 130 degrees in Baghdad in August, I’ll pass on your recommendation.
Q: Well, Tony, Tony, I’m sorry, that’s — you know — I mean, there are a lot of things that happen by September and it’s 130 degrees for the U.S. military also on the ground –
SNOW: You know, that’s a good point. And it’s 130 degrees for the Iraqi military.

The White House’s defense is straightforward enough: it doesn’t matter when Iraqi lawmakers are in session; what matters is what they’re accomplishing. That might even be a persuasive spin — if there was any political progress in Iraq at all.

Tony Snow has to make an idiot of himself and lie because he needs the medical insurance. Now we know the White House and the GOP could care less about our troops. Iraq puppet government can take a vacation with the stolen $280 Million American dollars that was stolen in the bank in the Green Zone. Let's hope the Iraq officials do some vacationing in the US and give back some of the stolen money. Most will likely go to the UK, Iran, Syria, Jordan or Saudi Arabia to spend the big bucks. Oh Dubai might get some of that money too. Why would an Iraq official want to settle the civil war when they can get Billions from the United States.
Yes, our military, in 130 degrees. That should be the priority of shortening their deployment in the 130 degrees, or having a limit on it somehow.
Hey, I've been a good kitty. When do I get a month off for vacation?
