OK...I just read it and I wouldnt change a word of my post attributing the drop in violence in Baghdad to many factors. (But just for the record, ask yourself how many posts of mine or host's or others you have commented on without reading the linked article...methinks there is a whif of a double standard in the words/deeds of one self righteous interweb poster)

So why do you think a continued US presence against the wishes of much of the Iraqi parliament and an overwhelming majority of the Iraqi people will lead to political reconciliation?....or at the very least, a functioning central government?

I would suggest that the WH and neo-con collection of talking points before the invasion and throughout the occupation is the real Orwellian doublespeak... from which they are unable to find any way out of the fucked-up quagmire they created other than "stay the course" (2005) or "stay the course - the sequel" (2006) or "stay the course redux- the third time is a charm - the surge is working" (2007 - ?)
