WTF Is It Now?!?

Turning Corners!!
Writing in Pravda al Jazeera the New York Times, Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack present an upbeat report on American prospects in Iraq that has to have Joe LIEberman(R-Tel-Aviv) sporting major wood:

VIEWED from Iraq, where we just spent eight days meeting with American and Iraqi military and civilian personnel, the political debate in Washington is surreal. The Bush administration has over four years lost essentially all credibility. Yet now the administration’s critics, in part as a result, seem unaware of the significant changes taking place.
Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand: We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration’s miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily “victory” but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with.

Verifying astonishing signs of normalcy, significant progress and evidence that the insurgency al Qaeda the resistance movement is in it's last throes and on the run, Reuters reports that "Gunmen killed eight people and wounded two others on Saturday in a drive-by shooting in a Turkman village near the town of Tuz Khurmato, about 180 km (110 miles) north of Baghdad . . " Also, among many other incidents:

Oh, and the parliament took off for their August vacation today.
LIEberman and his Reich-Wing puppetmasters are reacting with typical masterbatory glee. There is absolutely no evidence to back up a rumour that the phone numbers of the Times stenographers are in the DC madam's little black book.
