I have been saying to my friends for some time that I don't think Iraq will be much of an issue in 2008.

This report is just proof of what I have been saying all along. Things are improving in Iraq so the media wouldn't talk about it. Democrat's wont talk about it not in a major way or there allies in the media would have to talk about it and that will hurt Democrat's in the end. I personally thing the media and Democrat's are going to go back to there 1992 play book and pretend that the economy is in bad shape and we need the Democrat's to help people. It a lie. Even if the economy was in bad shape the Democrat's would just make it worse thought higher taxes.

Thanks Robert

In case you were wondering why the Democrats are running from this debate, it’s because the more public opinion shifts, the more their willingness to abandon Iraq looks less like a “realist” exit strategy than calculated defeatism. Even so, note how inelastic most of the results are despite the security gains (especially in Anbar). The microresults show impressive shifts

Democrats wanted power in 2006, and vowed to end the war if they got it. They got power, and showed that they had no clue how to end it, and no intention of doing so in any event. There was talk of cutting funds for the war, and they could have done that, but instead chose to push their party agenda rather than make concessions needed to pass a funding cut measure in a bi-partisan way. Instead they tell their constituents that the Democratic Party needs more power. They need enough power to override vetoes and opposition to measures that would leave Iraq in chaos; they need unchecked political power.

The so-called Surge offensive makes this even more difficult since the majority of Americans now think that success is possible. So what is a Democratic Party leader to do? Do they:

go against their base and advocate a strategy for success,

go against the American people who see success as possible now that the surge offensive is working (both militarily and politically)

go with their base and advocate a withdrawal that will leave Iraq in a chaotic condition that would require a third invasion of Iraq?

She may be liberal (I still have a thing for her tho, just can’t help it) but at least she can admit when things are going better, unlike three quarters of our Democrat leaders.
