Cholera Pops Up In Baghdad - Surprise!

I was reading a blog by an Iraqi dentist who makes irregular posts on his blog, “Last of Iraqis”. He writes about the cloudy drinking water that comes from the tap and then wonders about the rumors of Cholera in Baghdad that have been circulating. Well the rumors are true according to several news sources.

So now in addition to the plague of violence we have rained down on Iraq, Cholera is poised to sweep the cities. It is really sad when things for the average Iraqi were better under Saddam than our puppet government over there.

I watched the video of the tap water he posted in his blog and I realize that we take things like being able to drink the water from our faucets with reasonable assurances that it will not kill us. I am at once grateful for our countries fine water system, government regulated I might add, and am dismayed at our government’s actions in Iraq. Isn’t it time we stopped this madness and seek diplomatic solutions in Iraq rather than just continuing to pump money into weapons and death?

Whatever happened to those billions we spent to restore the infrastructure over there? Maybe Dick Cheney’s company can explain that mystery?

yeh he might have the answer but the one I'm sure had the answer is AlMaliki and the high ranked officials in Iraq because there pockets will explode from what have they stoled from Iraq.
