Baghdad was the pride and joy of nearly every neo-con, conservative, right-winger and Joe 6-pack in America after the decisive victory over Saddam Hussein back in ’03.  

so how is it going now, Mr. Mayor of Baghdad?
It is “Crumbling“

  •   Baghdad produces about 544 million gallons of water per day, nearly 370 million gallons short of its required amount. About 55 percent of the water reportedly is lost through leakage in the pipes.
  •   Before the invasion, Baghdad residents had about 20 hours of electricity a day. Today, they get about 10, usually broken into two-hour chunks.
  •   Iraq is not able to refine enough oil, so gasoline must be imported.
  •   the municipality had requested $1.5 billion for the 2005 fiscal year but only received $85 million.

Not to mention very high unemployment, an foreign occupation, militant, 8k dead in 6 months heat and sand.

The

Mayor has threatened to quit.
