Even Katie Couric is seeing "real progress" in Iraq. Journalists are some of the most liberal people on the planet, and if they are starting to see progress in Iraq, do you think that others might follow suit and want to actually stay until the job is done in Iraq?
Probably not, but it is telling when a major news reporter like Couric says things like "We hear so much about things going bad, but real progress has been made there in terms of security and stability," Couric said Tuesday. "I mean, obviously, infrastructure problems abound, but Sunnis and U.S. forces are working together. They banded together because they had a common enemy: al Qaeda."
It's what I've been telling you all along. Things are getting better, but you don't see that from the various liberals who want an immediate pull out of Iraq.
Jon Soltz, whom I do respect as a former soldier, won't even admit that. Take a look at this video:
Mr. Soltz won't even admit that progress is being made (at the roughly 2 minute mark remaining) when he's presented with facts about the progress in Iraq.
What I do wonder is if Jon Soltz saw things in Iraq during his time there and that has skewed his vision of what's going on there now. Mr. Soltz berated Dan Senor about "not going to be lectured by you" But he will be "lectured by General Petraeus". Well if that's the case Mr. Soltz, then why not wait for his report?
What's really telling is that Jon Soltz actually ADMITS there's positive progress in Iraq at the 1:45 left mark when he says: "There are not troops in Anbar Province because there's a political reconciliation."
He just blew his argument out of the water. Sorry Jon, I respect you very highly about your service to this country, but I believe you are wrong on this and people who are going there now have a better idea of what's going on.
