Shame that this report didn’t make the rounds say just prior to November of last year. Might have put Obama’s misplaced (and partisan) criticism of the surge in an unflattering light.

Whenever I see and hear good news from Iraq I always think back to that day when Patraeus was being grilled by Hillary Clinton and she dismissed his optimism as requiring a “willing suspension of disbelief” in other words she basically called him a liar. Funny how this woman who was so willfully deceptive on this issue is now the Secretary of State.

This does play into my earlier prediction that Obama would be able to draw down troops from Iraq because the war was going so well. So in the end Bush and PAtreus have done him a big favor.
