Winning in Iraq

While the media focuses on smearing Gov. Palin, I have to do their work for them. After handing over Anbar to the Iraqis, Gen. Petraeus now says that if conditions continue to improve in Baghdad, we might have our combat forces out by next summer. From FT.

“The number of attacks in Baghdad lately has been, gosh, I think it’s probably less than five [a day] on average, and that’s a city of seven million people,” said Gen Petraeus.

While declining to comment on the details of the security agreement, Gen Petraeus said US combat forces had already pulled back from cities in 13 of Iraq’s 18 provinces. The sight of US soldiers exiting Baghdad would be highly symbolic given the scale of violence that gripped the city in 2006 and 2007.

Hello?!? Isn't this exactly what the Left has been screaming for since the war started? And now that it's happening, accompanied with a victory, they couldn't care less.
