Once his military career is over, I hope the General considers a political career.

Violence is down about 60 percent in Iraq since the June troop surge, and the top military commander in Iraq said today that he wants the trend to continue in 2008.

Thus, a lack of MSM reporting from Iraq.....

Go figure.

This is great news. Iraq is on its way to stability. There should be celebration at this but instead we hear muffled silence from the media.

He should be Time’s person of the year. But Time would rather give it to a communist who has reporters murdered and rigs elections.

When reporter Chris Matthews asked the general why success in Iraq is not newsworthy

It's because liberal a-hole reporters won't cover it...

“Violence is down about 60 percent in Russia since the June police state surge, and Putin in Russia said today that he wants the trend to continue in 2008, by killing and imprisoning as much dissidents as possible.” unquote.

It has already been suggested by multiple pundits.

“We have laid out a plan that will take us through the end of July, and it will result in the reduction without replacement of about one-quarter of our combat forces.”

One quarter drawn down by July, 2008; 1/2 or more drawn down by the following January.

That's leaving victoriously instead of with our tails between our legs.

War's over, folks. This is the mop-up and the homecoming.

After that plus a litte more, we'll still have our Predators flying 24/7 bombing support for Iraqi nationals...which should be adequate to dissuade or dismember those who are late to the Iraqi Roach Motel Party.
