Good news
June 2nd, 2008 by SpokesbloggerIncase you haven’t seen it yet, the Washington Post has an editorial today about the progress being made in Iraq. A highlight:
“While Washington’s attention has been fixed elsewhere, military analysts have watched with astonishment as the Iraqi government and army have gained control for the first time of the port city of Basra and the sprawling Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City, routing the Shiite militias that have ruled them for years and sending key militants scurrying to Iran.”
“..[T]he rapidly improving conditions should allow U.S. commanders to make some welcome adjustments – and it ought to mandate an already-overdue rethinking by the ‘this-war-is-lost’ caucus in Washington, including Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).”
We’re making progress in Iraq and it’s time to stop handicapping our troops with defeatist messages and bickering here at home.
