Dems determined to ignore progress in Iraq

Yes, when will we learn? It's so easy to stop the terrorists- if we would just surrender and give into their every demand and move western society back to the stone ages, then they might just leave us alone.

That is not what he was saying. He was saying that the whole invasion of Iraq was a strategic blunder that has done nothing to reduce terrorism. Instead, IMO, it has increased the fear and so the threat of terror acts real or imagined. The "yes why not surrender you traitorous dogs" style statement as an alternative to actually admitting that mistakes have been made is used too often and is of little value.

Ah, the Sun-Times, that bastion of penetrating insight, which puts girls in bikinis on page 2.

Yes indeed, its journalism at its best.

Was there some actual news here? Because it seems that, in light of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary (rising body count, increasing sectarian tensions, torture 'as bad as it was under Saddam', the US military undermining the Free Press, and an insurgency that is anything but 'in its last throes'), things in Iraq are going quite badly.

Too many people now know the emperor has no clothes.
