I don't think anybody's ignoring these things. I don't think anybody's saying they aren't bad. Iraq could be going better. But its not the complete failure that the mainstream press makes it out to be. This is really unfortunate because when people run around shouting "failure" they have completely doomed the process. Iraq is far from over, and far from failure. The media has their blinders on waiting and hoping for another bombing to report, while obviously some have their blinders on saying that its going along perfect. Of course its not perfect, people are dying over there all the time. The only way Iraq will be a success is if we understand exactly what is happening and keep working to make that process better. Sadly it seems that too often it becomes a partisan issue to the detriment of both Iraqis and our troops. There should be nothing partisan about Iraq.
Did I mention that quagmire is my favorite character from the Family Guy. Giggity giggity giggity...
