The WSJ publishes a LONG piece every two weeks detailing progress in Iraq.
I suppose you are one of those who sits there, arms folded, demanding news reports brought to your attention every day detailing the back-breaking work our troops are doing, the progress being made.
Do yourself a favor, do what I did--talk to those who've actually BEEN there. I know that's more difficult than sitting on your butt watching the tube all day, but it's always amusing to me how we complain about the biased media 24/7 around here, and then write foolishness as you do. Educate yourself about reality, and stop reading sources that only buttress your already-held beliefs. Unearned cynicism isn't the same as educating yourself about the truth.
And hows this for reality?
