WARTIME AND VACATION TIME

There has been much talk recently about the Iraqi government taking a month off for vacation in time of war, but there is hardly ever any mention of our Congress taking the entire month of August off during the same time of war.

If I read this right, both the Iraqi government and the US Congress will be on vacation at the same time.

I think neither government should be taking any time off while there is so much for them to do. But my biggest gripe is that I can’t see how it is so wrong for one side and not the other.
