Vacation time!

Iraqi Lawmakers Plan 2-Month Summer Recess

Lawmakers divided over whether to keep U.S. troops in Iraq are finding common ground on at least one topic: They are furious that Iraqi politicians are considering a lengthy break this summer.

"If they go off on vacation for two months while our troops fight -- that would be the outrage of outrages," said Rep. Chris Shays, R-Conn.

The Iraq parliament's recess, starting this July, would likely come without Baghdad politicians reaching agreements considered key to easing sectarian tensions.
Aw, what the hell - can't get their men to fight their own civil war so the goddamn politicians might as well go on a two month vacation, too.

Go ahead - we will send an extra 21,500 of our men and women to referee your war and you folks go ahead and have a good time.
