HA! Iraqi government has higher standard for success than Shrubco!
A day of political drama ended at 11.23pm when parliament was hastily assembled to buy more time with a show of hands. The vote averted a constitutional crisis but exposed the deep divisions between Kurds, Shias and Arab Sunnis.

Participants masked their disappointment. "Come on, this is a success," said Barham Saleh, a Kurdish minister in the interim coalition government. "We're not killing each other."

Either Mr.Saleh is showing sarcastic wit or doesn't realize that the shrub considers it a success if they kill each other over there instead of over here...a considerably lower standard for success.
