Things Looking Up In Iraq

“Murder victims are down 80 percent from where they were at the peak,” and attacks involving improvised bombs are down 70 percent, he said.

General Fil attributed the decline to improvements in the Iraqi security forces, a cease-fire ordered by the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr, the disruption of financing for insurgents, and, most significant, Iraqis’ rejection of “the rule of the gun.”

And this is being reported by the NY Times. The article doesn't say that things are perfect, far from it, but it does show significant improvements in the violence levels and things are starting to return to normal in Iraq.

Funny, aren't Democrats decrying the "quagmire" in Iraq and saying that they're going to shut down funding for the war in Iraq? If they do so now, they'll be slaughtered in the elections. There's clear evidence that the new tactics as well as local help is making Iraq a much safer place to be for everyone. But Democrats don't see it that way. They want our guys out of there now, even though things are showing improvement.

So go ahead Democrats, do it. I dare you, but be warned, I'll bring a mountain of evidence to show you are not only wrong, but you're actions will lead directly to the deaths of thousands. You think we're "creating more terrorists" now? Leave people to the wolves and see how they react to us.
