On Time

Via Captain Ed, I learn that the Iraqi consitution will not be delayed as once feared.

From Yahoo News:

Three months ago, after it had taken 12 weeks just to form a government, many doubted the Aug. 15 target for the draft constitution could be met; long, bitter wrangling had dented hopes raised by an election held, on schedule, on Jan. 30.

Now, few doubt that some form of draft constitution will appear more or less on time -- even though the parliamentary committee working on it has not, as it once suggested, unveiled a preliminary text by July 15.

Once a draft text emerges, it will be approved in an October referendum and form the basis of a new election around the end of the year.

That's progress, baby...real progress.

Viking Spirit just reminded me that surely HALLIBURTON! had a role in this debacle as well. You might as well throw in DIEBOLD! as well because that's how the Chimperor got re-elected anyway...and somewhere a lonely black helicopter spins off to the horizon...
