I saw this one earlier. This is yet another proof of immensely great news that we are winning this war and winning it big.

Petraeus says Iraq changes 'breathtaking'

BAGHDAD, June 7 -- Lt. Gen. David Petraeus says the new U.S. approach is resulting in "breathtaking" improvements in security in some areas of Iraq. But the commander of U.S. forces told CNN in an interview al-Qaida remains "well-entrenched" in some parts of Baghdad.

Petraeus said Anbar, a Sunni province west of the capital, has been "transformed." Tribes there are joining the coalition in opposing al-Qaida and violence has decreased, he added. The coalition approach focuses on trying to "determine who are the reconcilables and to separate them from the extremists," he said. However, Petreaus admits there is tough work ahead in Diyala north of Baghdad.

He says al-Qaida is still capable of using neighborhoods to build and detonate car bombs and the general confirmed sectarian killings rose again in May after decreasing between January and April.

Petreaus visited the CNN bureau in Baghdad without advance notice. He had visited Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and they decided to "talk a walk" in a safe area. The minister suggested the two of them "knock on CNN's door," CNN reported.

I’m not sure? I originally found it as a CNN story on Liveleak. Garvin was nice enough to provide me with the CNN link. I posted the original but Liveleak is not really a family friendly website and the moderator might of pulled it understandably for that reason.

I have not seen any kind of reports like this on CNN. I know Michael Ware did a similar story that I also found on Liveleak.

Democrats are once again are going to have historical egg on their face.

[winner3000]

Quick, send Pelosi to Iraq to convince the Sunni insurgents NOT to fall for that cheap American trick! Democrat seats are counting on her!

Here is something for the Democrats

I’ve changed the words around in this Roger Waters song to be more reflective of the times.

The Tide Is Turning

I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

Al Qaeda posting on Internet sites
Exclusive shots on the web of terrorist frights
Just imagine what these Muslim children must be learning
Whose Religion is the most righteous, whose is the best
Who holds the aces, the Middle East or the West
This is the crap Muslim children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Now the websites confused
‘Cos on Saturday night
The traffic was full of compassion and light
And confused liberals with silicon hearts warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
The tide is turning

I’m not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology’s sword from the hand of the
War Lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

The tide is turning.

Roger Waters song The Tide Is Turning was kind of the theme song used for the Live Aid concert.

"Tribes there are joining the coalition in opposing al-Qaida and violence has decreased, he added."

Good news for Iraq and America is bad news for liberals and the Buchananite Ron Paul crowd.

The way I see it one down two to go.

[SunkenCiv]

It’s good, but Sadr needs to be put on a slab ASAP.

[Fred Nerks]

It’s good, but Sadr needs to be put on a slab ASAP.

Agreed.

that video was shown on our TV 'news' ENTIRE! Even our multiculty/left/wing SBS did not edit nor slant the report. Quite extraordinary...

[april15Bendovr]

The tricky part is Muqtada Sadr is giving the appearance that he wants peace in order for the U.S. troops to leave Iraq. I’m not buying this after looking at his incestuous relationship with Iran. He is giving the appearance of playing politics at the moment and who know what behind the scenes deals he has made with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

INSURGENTS: HOW ARE YOU OSAMA!!
INSURGENTS: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
INSURGENTS: HA HA HA HA....

[jveritas]

At some point it is very hard to hide the truth even for the treasonous liberal media. This Sunni rebellion against Al Qaeda terrorists is the most important “Very Positive” turn of events since the fall of Saddam in April 2003.
