The headlines in this morning's newspapers were filled with pessimism over Iraq. My local paper led with: "Basra Effort Falters. Al-Sadr Orders Defiance; U.S. Jets Hit Militia." The story went on to talk about the "faltering" Iraqi government offensive, and how Prime Minister al-Maliki may have "miscalculated" with his offensive.
I could sense the anticipated joy on the part of the liberal media and the Democrats, thinking that this was the beginning of the end of good news coming out of Iraq.
Ah, what a difference a few hours makes. Now the headlines read "Sadr offers a cease fire in Iraq."

If the government could have the backbone and capabilities to bear the Al Sadr militia even if it takes three months, it would be the best thing that could happen to both Iraq and the US.

Please wake up and understand the error in your thinking. Be rational and stop furthering the cause of a failed, criminal Republican administration.

You may be confusing administrations here. I was referring to the Iraqi government. Maybe you should be the one to wake up and listen to other people's views and thinking as opposed to your clear emotional bias. If you are able to focus and discuss the facts, you may have a better chance to convince people of your view as opposed to comments such as "criminal Republican administration" and asking people to "wake up... be rational".

AK,
I was not responding to your post. I was responding to the original entry, "Al-Sadr Disappoints the Pessimists." Moreoever, I have not an emotional bias.

This is a wonderful post. The things given are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone.
