While the persistent effort of American troops has contributed to a decline in violence, the death toll has dropped primarily because there are fewer Iraqis left to kill.

Liberals are frigging retarded.

A local Boston talk host,Howie Carr,who grew up in western Massachusetts,refers to the area as "Happy Valley".That pretty much sums it up.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Remember, good news for America is bad news for Defeatist leftists. All sorts of contortions here to distort the truth and the great, great accomplishments of our troops. Well, cry on, our guys are winning, you hate it, I love it and that settles it.

“While the persistent effort of American troops has contributed to a decline in violence, the death toll has dropped primarily because there are fewer Iraqis left to kill.”

Utter nonsense. Only an insane person could write this sentence.

The dream of democracy is dead in Iraq, along with nearly 4,000 American soldiers

when did these jerks ever dream of democracy in Iraq and when did they care about our soldiers?

>Iraq is evolving into Afghanistan, the site of the Bush administration’s other failed war.

LOL! BARF! LOL!

Afghanistan is one of the most notable success stories in modern military history, if not the most notable.

Remember what happened to the USSR?
Then contrast that to the stunning success in Afghanistan.

Actually, the author should be hanged...

Actually, the death toll has gone down because there are a lot fewer non-Iraqis left to make mischief.

Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson, appalled by the vote approving the war funds, says he will devote his campaign solely to the Iraq War.

2008-forever when Bill Richardson's name is mentioned it will be answered with "Bill who?"

On the upside, the authors of this little bit of tripe are no more out of touch with the realities in Iraq than they ever were. The notion that the population of Iraq has been thinned to the point where there’s nary a target left is possible only to someone who is living in a fantasy world.

The dream of democracy is dead in Iraq, along with nearly 4,000 American soldiers. The money, however, is still being dumped into the desert, with no end in sight.

Gosh, perfectly good money that could be used domestic earmarks.

Damn wars they just tend to suck the financial wind out of true politicians domestically don't they?

Must be a special place and it appears that the local paper wants to help them carry on with their fantasies...

Without a doubt one of the most ignorant, if not THE most ignorant, line of drivel I've ever read.

I think they, the residents themselves, refer to it as "Happy Valley".

They even have their own "currency", too.

No Joy in Happy Valley at Christmastime this year, apparently.
