7 U.S. troops and a linguist, were wounded in an attack outside a local council meeting in northern Iraq Monday.  When a military spokesperson was asked to coment on the extent of the injuries, he noted "The injuries are not serious however, the linguist was rendered speechless." 

...Baghdad has opened its first Ben & Jerry's ice cream store.  The most popular flavor is Iraqi Road.  A delicious combination of chocolate ice cream, with nuts, marshmallows, and schrapnel. 

I don't understand why everyone in Iraq is named Al.They need more Brads in my opinion. 

U.S. authorities say Baghdad's water is still undrinkable 6 years after U.S. invasion.   Mexico says, "Yeah? So?"
