The last time I saw positive news was this thread--similar to every time someone posts a positive story as evidence that we someone aren't receiving news about the "real" story over in Iraq.
I don't suppose the fact that you are citing a news story occurred to you that we actually are hearing positive reports.
I realize this might be tough for people who only see things in binary terms, but it is likely that we are making a positive difference in some portions of a large country while simultaneously bungling around and being blown apart in other parts.
