Rice and Straw are in Iraq 

Condoleezza Rice and Jack Straw are in Iraq, having flown there to drive the negotiations toward the formation of a national government. Rice and Straw are putting the prestige of the United States and the United Kingdomm on the line. My guess is that they will succeed, but if they do not they will have established a political basis for shrinking our force levels, withdrawing the remaining troops into the big new bases, and "allowing" the Iraqis to sort out their intramural matters on their own.
