Don't want to jinx this, but it is possible that if this holds up the rest of this month and maintains, it will likely emerge as obvious progress whether the MSM likes it or not.

But that is exactly what the media will do...ignore the progress and move on to some other statistic they can use to demonstrate that the war is going badly.

The MSM has done this from day one. When we took an operational pause--it was a quagmire even though it was only to allow our supply lines to catch up to our troops.

The fact that we established control over the 4th largest army in the world in less than 2 weeks with a lowest casualties of any war in history is ignored.

Sadly many folks don't have much of a historical perspective so the great accomplishments of our soldiers goes unappreciated.

That may be, but the March casualty number to date are so extremely low in comparison to other months that it likely means something significant. The Iraqis are taking over their own security and those tribes in the west are killing AQ fighters without US forces being involved.

In other words, we're winning, and clearly.
