I'm curious about the Iraqis taking control of southern Iraq. If they can handle that things are looking preaty positive for the U.S. not to say that it will be easay from here but theres hope.

I see two major questions rasied by this: 1. Does this change how long we stay even though our millitary is tiered out and the war is plunging us into even more debt. Do we mobilize more to try to finish the job right. (raising taxes, draft ect ect...)

2. Was the media coverage faulty in only emphizing the bad in the months that the surge started going into action? Any baisis.

Another question will this have a big difference in bushes aproval ratings?

I'm honestly not sure that staying in Iraq past '08 is a good idea. We're already in massive amounts of death and maybe we should take this chance to settle the war on merely okay terms that we can live with.
