So where are we at in Iraq again? Oh yeah, I remember...

"Jobs gone and schools closed. Marriages delayed and children mourned. Markets bombed and clean water in short supply. Speaking freely now a dangerous act.

And hope lost.

Four years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, Iraqis describe daily lives that have been torn apart by spiraling violence and a faltering economy. The bursts of optimism reported in a 2004 public-opinion survey taken a year after the invasion and another in 2005 before landmark legislative elections have nearly vanished."

Meanwhile we're spending "about $14.7 million per hour or $245,370 per minute" on this debacle. Think about that for a minute while you're checking to see what new mp3's have been posted here.... (h/t: Roger)
