Did Iraq fall off the face of the Earth?

What happened in January & February & now March that has shut-off the commentary of what's wrong & why? There's no news about Iraq hardly at all, on Yahoo or on TV, hardly any int'l news really -- aside from Mitchell being sent to Gaza and Hillary on her first trip. (Why wasn't Hillary asked about Iraq?) It seems odd to me, that as many times that I've turned on the nightly news -- I've seen hardly anything about news, plans, measures, fighting, CRITICISMs that were a near daily part of the news for how many years... before this Janurary. Odd, isn't it?
