How can this be? Teddy Kennedy promised me that it was a quagmire... it was G.W.'s Viet-nam. I'll need to watch the network news to verify this.

"American casualties continue to decline. U.S. combat deaths are down some 40 percent from February, and are only about a third of what they were in January"

I can hardly wait to read this in the NT Times!

Strange how the MSM would trumpet American casualties when they were high but now don't mention the lack thereof.

Yeah, that is strange. I wonder why this isn't being reported widely in the MSM. I just can't figure it out.

You know we're winning when all the NPR whiners can find to report about Iraq today is the Iraqis' frustration with their cell phone service. Ha! That makes the Iraqis almost American!

On the radio today, I heard the problem is ordinary Iraqi's being kidnapped. One girl was almost kidnapped on the way to school, so her father has to drive her. No progress at all, said the girl.

If I remember correctly, girls weren't allowed to go to school. Or was that just in Afghanistan?

Nice summary and good news. Overshadowed by the unending obsession of News networks with Court cases. Maybe it's good that the Media are obsessed with court and leave the Iraq news alone.

They would find some way to begin the "Insurgent-rooting" again and start encouraging those "early morning newscast" car bombings that they so love to report on. Better they should obsess over court cases.

Ted Kennedy and his "repeat of Vietnam" couldn't be more wrong...in some ways. In Nam, when the VC gathered and stood toe-to-toe, they lost. In Iraq, Afghanistan and anywhere else, standing toe-to-toe with the US military was is guarantee defeat - that's the right part.
The difference in Iraq is that the American people have not quit on the military, in spite of the same, though older, anti-American hippies and MSM. The Commander-In-Chief is standing by his troops. In Nam, the American people quit on us and the Commander-In-Chief was no leader.

I wouldn't know if it would help to tell her that that's now standard procedure in many California cities.

The terrorists have also been hitting schools, and killing children, with mortar shells. This is probably a matter of an unskilled terrorist aiming the mortar

No bias there. Terrorists would never target schools and children.

If an American stray bomb or bullet hits a civilian, the press always implies that it may have been intentional. Al Jezeera just comes out and says we did it for organ transplants.
