Prospect of US Withdrawal is Reducing Iraqi Violence
A reduction in US troops in Anbar resulted in more security for Iraqis.
Yesterday, the National Intelligence Estimate reported “measurable but uneven improvements” in the security situation in Iraq. While the White House has rushed to suggest that the modest gains were the result of escalation, the improvement can more plausibly be the product of Iraqi expectations of a U.S. withdrawal.
Much of the touted security gains have come in the Anbar province, a region that was not the target of Bush’s escalation. In fact, progress in Anbar pre-dated the surge and occurred while troop numbers were being reduced in the region.
It is useful to note that a great many Republicans want us out of Iraq. While our local wingnuts and Bush Incompentence Deniers (yes Dave, I’m looking at you) cling to the idea of “victory” in Iraq – most Republicans that I speak to on a daily basis are much more clued in to reality.
On a daily basis I hear Republicans call Iraq, “A huge disaster” “A terrible waste of money and lives.” “A quagmire” and “unwinnable”. I find that Republicans, in general, are not as crazy as the Republicans who read blogs and comment on them.

Jason you are one superficial person. When are you going to add some substance to your blog. You have piss poor basis for your attacks and your inferior complex with Dave Burris is pathetic. My God kid get a grip!
Dam boy, though I am slow in the grammar department however I have deeper objective insight then you. But then again you are a typical democrat whose only offense is, “he is a republican.” Open you eye you little blind grasshopper, Dave and I are both Republicans but yet our views and opinion are different and yours are quite irrelevant. You can’t even see Jack Markell is a Minner crony who has been covering her ass for years. Why now does he speak up ?
Dave has really gotten under your skin and you’re cracking up! Your thinking is one dimensional. What do you say we go out for a drink? Me, a flaming shot of Wild Turkey and you a nice ice cold glass of milk.
