Petraeus has things under control. Bump!
If the Brits withdraw and turn the area over to the Iraqis instead of Americans, we won’t read about it in the NYSlimes or the WA comPost. This has been the goal all along, and every day we (those of us who look) can find news about how Iraqis are gaining the capability to control their own country.
I’m for success in Iraq, even if the news has to be ignored until after the 2008 elections.
