#1 George Bush with less than 18 months. It couldn't been that rather than the surge? Now could it?

Been measuring the damage you've created in the last 7 years with the American people? Get the measure that the rad left isn't the American public? Sorry jack, we're not chumming up again to bail you out of the next one. There are those of us who want to hold tight in Iraq, but we damn well want to see the withdraw plan for Germany and S.Korea.

#3 Great article, makes one even prouder to be an American. The surge and time will continue to win over Iraqis and Iraq just may end up being the model that the rest of the ME aspires to. I can hope can't I?

#4 I think you might be onto something P2K.
I'm sure the new Prez(they're hoping a Donk) would just love to grab the reigns and drive home a good ol' victory for us in 2009. Wouldn't that be convenient? Wouldn't have to do the work, just take all the credit for a victorious campaign. And after 5 years of trying to sabotage the whole thing.

#6 Yes, thanks, Darth.

Could it be that the news is that good that even the MSM are getting behind the "strong horse"? Or, do they just see the future and wanna be "on top" of reporting it?

#7 Dubya's/USA's Regional-Global Entrenchment + post-Dubya 2008 Elex posturing > Moud-Mullahs can either face implosion, or else must escalate and push/induce the USA to invade Iran, even iff it means risking worldwide = geopol mil confrontation amongst the great powers. RADICAL MULLAHS > WORLD IN CHAOS-DARKNESS + DECLINE OF MODERN CIVILIZATION ala OIL/RESOURCES CATACLYSM, GLOBAL-SOLAR WARMING, ETC. IS ULTIMATELY TO RADICAL ISLAM'S ADVANTAGE. An alleged "DYING WORLD/PLANET" dominated by a Radical Islam oft criticized or belabeled as a faith/ideo of death + anti-materialist totalitarianisms. RADICAL MULLAHS WOULD BE HAPPY/ECSTATIC IFF THE SUN WENT NOVA TODAY.
