Iraq

(UPI) "133 Iraqi lawmakers from different political blocs(out of 275,) .... signed a document demanding a scheduled withdrawal of the U.S.-led multinational troops from their country." (You know that neither Maliki nor the US wants to see a parliamentary vote on US presence.)

(AP) Iraq will not see the debt relief that was supposed to be the major accomplishment of the Sharm Al-Sheik meeting.

(USAToday) "
From 125,000 to 150,000 U.S. troops may have suffered mild, moderate or severe brain injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan, Pascrell estimates. That's a hidden population of wounded that far exceeds the official casualty figures of 26,000."

(Reuters) "Iraq's main Sunni bloc said on Thursday it was considering pulling out of Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's coalition government, saying sectarian violence and corruption was worsening under his administration."

(AP) The headline is EFP attacks reach new high in April(65.) That's 65 out of 1,200 roadside bombs a month.
