I remember back when Iraq the Model used to post happy news, the "The media isn't telling you all the good things in Iraq!" kind of stories.
Sad that this is what we get now.
The WH and the Pentagon sat on their asses and let a monster like Sadr build a many thousand man militia and get away with attacking our troops and killing thousands of Iraqis.
As much as I support a peaceful stable Iraq, I have to give the WH, the Pentagon, and the State Dept a D- on Iraq.
Just about the only thing they have done right in Iraq is not giving up.
