Don't worry, the Democrats are ready to take credit when we withdraw.

Afghanistan and Iraq have been tremendous successes. The liberation of 2 nations in such a short period of time with so few casualties is astounding and is testimony to our military and executive leadership.
To put this achievement in perspective, we must recall that the Soviets broke their backs in Afghanistan right on their southern border. To be able to deploy on the other side of the world and to achieve victory so quickly is an historic wonder.

"As the United States moves over to let Iraqis take the lead, senior U.S. commanders said 3,769 former officers of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein have applied to become officers in the new Army. Out of those, 2,662 have been accepted. Rice said the Iraqi government is also taking care to make sure the right individuals participate in Iraq's future."

Interesting. Good sign, hopefully. I hope they are coming in to help, not subvert.

They are probably not great officers, but still, they have experience, which is needed.

It looks like they are betting this government will survive, a good sign.

I am cautiously positive. However, we must monitor the situation. It is hard to believe some are not traitors. Care is required.

The only thing that can defeat us is defeatism itself!!!
