#1 The latter is equally hard, because a few high-profile insurgent atrocities can obscure the progress being made by Coalition forces in stopping ethnic cleansing in Baghdad

Atrocities that the MSM are glad to report. Nothing sells newprint like atrocities. Screw the guys on the ground, show us the money.

#2 It is hard to speed up the Baghdad clock when the American Congress is hanging on to the minute hand.

#3 As said before, iff Radical Islam fails to initiate new terror strikes inside the USA proper, i.e. high-profile, Dubya/GOP-blamed "new 9-11's/Amer Hiroshimas", the Dems are gonna CYA = Hedge by taking post-2008 MSM credit for Dubya's entrenchment in the ME. Radical Iran is being surrounded and isolated - EVERY DAY THAT RADICAL ISLAM FAILS TO ATTACK THE USA INSIDE THE USA IS ANOTHER DAY OF DUBYA-LED ENTRENCHMENT-CONTAINMENT OF RADIC IRAN IS ANOTHER DAY MOUD-MULLAHS BECOMING TERTIARY IFF NOT IRRELEVANT TO US DEMS = DEMOLEFT WHOM MUST NOW INCREASINGLY FOCUS ON PRESERVING THEIR OWN HIDES = LOCAL POL POWER-POSITION VV THE US GOP-RIGHT WITHIN THE US NPE. aS ALSO SAID BEFORE, unless something drastically or detrimentally changes, the day is looming/coming when not even having an anti-US andor anti-Rightist, etc. POTUS in the WH will help or save the Radical islamist agenda.
