Murtha switches views on Iraq
Democrat John Murtha, formerly a rabid anti-surge activist (He even tried to stop funding for it: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article16185.htm), now says that it's working, (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07333/837824-100.stm).
-
I would normally rant about him being wrong, but I think that what's heartening isn't Democratic error, but that the surge IS working, and that our men are safer than they have been in the past.
-
Violence has dropped significantly in recent months, but Mr. Murtha said he was most encouraged by changes in the once-volatile Anbar province, where locals have started working closely with U.S. forces to isolate insurgents linked to Al Qaeda.
-
Hate Bush all you want, but this is a policy that is living up to the Administration's positive expectations.
