#1 you'll also never hear this in the MSM. The war in Iraq has already been won. Mop up has begun. Pray for the Iraqi's that their new government will work for their common good.

#2 there have been a lot of fluctuations in this and related metrics over the last few years. There was a dip right after we captured Saddam, that proved to be shortlived. It wont be really newsworthy till we have sustained declines over several months, in all or most of the key indicators.

OTOH, its certainly misleading when someone cherrypicks the stats to show "quagmire". And overall, I think there have been numerous positive signs the last few weeks.

#3 2b and DanNY. Nope you are oth flat wrong. All you would have to do is slap a classification stamp on the story and the NYTLAT would fall all over themselves to put it the front page headline.

Hey, I've got a great idea for the Tony Snow...
