Pentagon: "There's no mission creep" in Iraq
U.S. officials are trying to quiet fears of mission creep in Iraq after yesterday's announcement that even more U.S. troops are headed there.
A Pentagon official insisted today, "there's no mission creep," adding that "the missions haven't changed."
But the chaos and turmoil in Iraq continues.
The first session of Iraq's new parliament involved a heated exchanged between elected officials. Many of them stormed out, never to return, thwarting plans to call for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's replacement.

Thanks a ton for your post. I would really like to say that the expense of car insurance varies widely from one insurance plan to another, for the reason that there are so many different facets which give rise to the overall cost. Such as, the make and model of the auto will have a massive bearing on the purchase price. A reliable ancient family car or truck will have a more affordable premium when compared to a flashy sports vehicle.
