We here at MTV News want to let the “Idol” fans out there — and specifically the “Idol In Iraq” fans — know that we have not forgotten you. There will indeed be another installment of “Idol in Iraq”…it’s just that, well, our friends in the Army’s 82nd Airborne division were a bit too caught up with the very serious business of serving our country this week to catch the last round of the show. They did, however, share with us that their unanimous reaction to Brooke White getting booted off was: S’about time!

No worries. Our friends will return later this week with their reactions to the competition as we near the final three. And what’s more, PFC Nathan Puckett (Cynthiana, KY) recently visited with us in Times Square, so we’re looking forward to posting some footage of that very soon. So check back with MTVNews.com for more.
