- So far not seeing stuff that makes me think US inv would help prevent or reduce death & destruction in Iraq. So right answer = Do Nothing. 17:06:23
- Or is there something I am missing? We might “like” one side better, but do we actually believe us bombing would PREVENT more deaths? 17:07:20
- I suspect it might actually make things worse. Just like it would have in Syria. 17:07:44
- And by some reports, people on the ground in some areas are welcoming ISIS. Perhaps that is propaganda, but if true then perhaps… 17:09:07
- …perhaps the best way forward is actually to let them have their territory. Maybe not. But shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. 17:11:03
- BTW, not saying ISIS are nice guys and would be wonderful for people in areas they control, especially people who don’t share their beliefs. 17:13:12
- But looking for the path that gets you to less violence as quickly as possible. Also, bonus if we don’t entangle ourselves in local affairs. 17:14:16
- PS: I liked the Biden partition plan idea in 2008, and still like it today. Probably would have given better result. :-) Go Biden! :-) 17:17:11
- There really are good reasons for federalism… 17:18:39
- Off the cuff thoughts over. Should I have just blogged that instead? But then I would have had to think in coherent paragraphs. Oh well. :-) 17:20:31
- BTW, kid home sick. Still coughing and wheezing like last night. Still sleeping, although fitfully. Poor guy. 17:22:24
- His mom has the same cough too. Fun day at the Abulsme household. (I’m WFH starting in the afternoon.) 17:23:26
- Since I was at work until 1 AM, not home till 2 AM, and up a good portion of the night, I’m doing a slow start to the day. :-) 17:24:18

This is the latest in a series of quarterly posts comparing the legislative output of the last three congresses. The last update was in March. Once again, the 113th is behind the pace of the 112th… but not actually by all that much. As of June 10th, President Obama has signed 117 laws from the 113th Congress into law. At the same point in the 112th there had been 131 laws enacted, and in the 111th there had been 193. Here are the charts:
