You labor under the impression that Iraq WILL quiet down. I just talked to someone who recently returned and he said things really aren't going well at all and we will be there for who knows how long. In addition, this CIA leak is not going to go away. Things are not looking good, but it's true that we have a long time to go until the election.

If reading Fred Barnes constitutes "labor" so be it. Don't know who your "source" is for things not going well in Iraq but it pales in comparison to the troops returning for R&R, from independent groups peforming evals and from unbiased media sources. "The enemy in Iraq is minuscule: a few thousand Baathist diehards allied with Islamic terrorists. They are capable of nothing more than hit-and-run attacks. Roughly 90 percent of Iraq is reasonably secure and stable . . . and though press reports stress the negative, only 70 Americans have been killed in the past four months.

Seems to me the LABOR is from a hate mongering media trying to persuade Americans that we're failing. I'm not persuaded . . . are you?
