Have the Dems become so boring that the NY Times & it's underlings have started doing Iraq is going well pieces? There have been more & more stories showing the progress being made there lately.
None, however, top this: the most liberal, Anti-American, pro-socialist rag in Germany is seeing the light.
Someone, check the temp in hell.

When describing Iraq, the word "peace" is seldom used. Truth be told, the Americans have restored order to many parts of the county.
The Iraqis in Ramadi, almost all Sunnis, had been worn down by chronic violence had finally come to the realization that, in the long run, the Americans were less of a threat and offered more hope than the fanatical holy warriors from Iraq and abroad.
The Americans run into acquaintances in the crowd. After being stationed in the city for 10 months, they have become a familiar sight. Bearded men greet the soldiers with hugs and kisses, and passersby hand them cold cans of lemonade. "Thank you, Mister," "Hello, Mister," "How are you, Mister?" they say. They talk about paint for schools and soccer jerseys, and they invite the Americans over for lunch. The Iraqis pose for photos with them, making "V's" for "victory" with their fingers.
