Even such as the New York Times reports that there has been amazing progress in Iraq since the Obama-opposed Surge took effect in Iraq.
BAGHDAD — Market by market, square by square, the walls are beginning to come down. The miles of hulking blast walls, ugly but effective, were installed as a central feature of the surge of American troops to stop neighbors from killing one another.
“They protected against car bombs and drive-by attacks,” said Adnan, 39, a vegetable seller in the once violent neighborhood of Dora, who argues that the walls now block the markets and the commerce that Baghdad needs to thrive. “Now it is safe.”
This news is spectacular, both for the IRaqis and for the United States and our soldiers. Rich Noyes laments that the big three networks are ignoring it.
