Agreed about the Defeato-crats. But that is not what is important -- War is after all performance art. General Petraeus has said as much recently, that the solutions in Iraq are political, meaning Iraq has to do the heavy lifting. There are signs they are doing just that. Little by little.
Many wars have needed a general change or three to get things moving. General Petraeus looks like he has the right stuff.
I am not concerned about donks crashing and burning, the public will return if the results warrant. And so far so good. Maybe what the Iraqis needed was a swift kick in the pants.

"War is after all performance art."
Then I'd like to request that orchestra take up a rousing rendition of Wagner's "Flight of The Valkyries".
Gunships, please...

This is an outstanding report. I've noticed AFP has a couple of good reports today. Maybe some day our media will become aware of these types of stories. And maybe some day pigs will fly.

Thanks for the ping.
The Sunnis are starting to realize they have no future if they continue with the insurgency, I think they also understand that Al qaida will turn on them in the unlikely event the insurgency is successful.

Take them down hard. Tribal justice is good when it comes to exterminating vermin.
