Damn! Can’t “progressives” and anti-war types get a break?!
.
There’ve been so many teasers – “Saddam has poison gas, and we’ll lose thousands of troops in the invasion,” THEN “Saddam’s Republican Guard will protect Baghdad to the death,” THEN “Quarmire,” AND “We can’t win,” and lately “There are no signs of improvement in Iraq at all.”
.
Well, apparently “the surge” has been working since the start and over the past few months, even Iraqi Sunnis have turned against al Qaeda.
.
Now it’s official, a report out of Iraq today says “Mortar attacks have decreased to their lowest levels in 21 months.” What’s more, “it marked the third month in a row of sharply reduced insurgent activity, the military said.
.
“The U.S. command issued the tallies a day after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said suicide attacks and other bombings in Baghdad also have dropped dramatically, calling it an end of sectarian violence.
.
“A top U.S. general said he believed the drop was sustainable, as Iraqis turn away from extremists.”
.
It’s like those anti-war, anti-Capitalists can’t get a break no how!
