We are "no longer staring into the abyss of defeat" in Iraq!
"Something approaching normal" there! The U.S. military says rocket or mortar attacks against the "U.S.-protected" Green Zone and a military base in Baghdad has killed 3 US soldiers and wounded 31. At least 22 Iraqis were also killed, "in a failed operation to stop militia attacks on the Green Zone."
In another sign of how well the surge is doing, a new report says "the United States faces the risk of a costly, open-ended quagmire in Iraq because of a lack of political progress." 100 more years!
And in another defining moment in the war, "animosity toward Prime Minister Nouri-al Maliki and his allies has deepened in the aftermath of Iraq's worst violence in months, threatening to escalate a conflict among Shiites that could further draw in U.S. troops."
Outstanding! We're making real progress! We can't even keep the heavily-fortified "U.S.-protected" Green Zone safe!
