#2 Its ABC News - part of the MSM. I think they just woke up and decided they coudln't hide from this anymore and if the break it now tthy have months to spin it so that it would not hurt the Obama-messiah.

#3 Even the MSM can't keep the success quiet anymore. So they will spin it so it will look like the dhimocrats had a healthy role in the victory instead of working all hours to secure an American defeat.

#4 "We're literally in the post-Gettysburg phase of this,' he said. 'We have defeated them in the city. They have dispersed to the desert, now we are pursuing them out into their safe havens: small villages and towns.' "

#5 Penguin,
I agree. We are really in the Post-Savanah phase of the conflict.
Both AQI and Sadr's JAM are shells of their former selves and only Iran can possibly save them. In fact Iran is running out of surrogates to do their bidding.

P.S. Strategypage says Afgahnistan is now 3X as dangerous as Iraq. Maybe the Germans and Franch should transfer their troops to a safer environment!
