“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Afghanistan as a model for Iraq

From MSNBC:
Historic Afghan elections scheduled for September will be delayed because of wrangling among officials and political parties, a senior government official said Thursday.

If the election is not held by October, expect even further delays as mountain snows close off certain villages from the rest of the country, denying them access to the polls.

The article is not specific on the nature of the "wrangling," but hopefully it is more logistical rather than power driven.
