The New York Times has the article.
"As a result, for the first time in nearly two years, people are moving with freedom around much of this city. In more than 50 interviews across Baghdad, it became clear that while there were still no-go zones, more Iraqis now drive between Sunni and Shiite areas for work, shopping or school, a few even after dark. In the most stable neighborhoods of Baghdad, some secular women are also dressing as they wish. Wedding bands are playing in public again, and at a handful of once shuttered liquor stores customers now line up outside in a collective rebuke to religious vigilantes from the Shiite Mahdi Army."
What will the Democrats do now. It has become clear that they will only accept failure at any cost, but as the sucess becomes more clear what line will they take. I find this as an indication of why Congress's poll numbers are so much lower than the President's now. While Congress continues to waste time delaying on the war and not handling the real buisness of the nation our Military has been winning. It is time the Democrats got off their soapboxes and did the real work of the people.

Congressional Democrats want to Lose Iraq War so much they just ignore the military reports
The Washington Times has a great article about the lengths to which the Congressional Democrats will go to lose in Iraq at any cost. They reject the reports now that keep rolling in that progress is being made. They just want to ignore them and pull out leaving Iraq worse off than it is today.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
"Certainly any time our military is engaged in military action, we want the best possible outcome for them, and they have produced that," she said. "But their sacrifice and their courage has not been met by any action on the part of the Iraqi government."
Interesting, they have met more benchmarks than her house has passed appropriation bills. Is she really the person to judge the effectiveness of government?
Independent Joe Lieberman observed what is really going on, the war critics "remain emotionally invested in a narrative of retreat and defeat, even as facts on the ground show that we are advancing and winning."
House Minority Leader John A. Boehner went even further, "Democrats can't acknowledge the fact that our troops are winning the war against al Qaeda in Iraq without admitting that they've been dead wrong on the biggest national challenge of our generation at the same time."
In the war in Iraq the death tolls of military and civilians has decline dramatically. Al Queda is on the verge on being eliminated. They are even being able to ease curfews and restrictions throughout Baghdad and the nation. Yet the answer for the democrats to that is not build on the success and finish the job, but all you hear from them is cut and run we cant win. I guess American lives and sacrifices mean nothing to them and their defeat at all cost approach.

Why the anti-war movement should be called what it is Treason!
Michelle Malkin has been posting some stories about a group of anti-war protestors in Washington State. These people have been trying to stop the movement of military supplies to and from the port there. They have even gone as far as to use children as human shields.

This is no longer a protest. When you prevent the movement of items needed to conduct a war it is sedition and treason. These "protestors should not be allowed to continue and not face the consequences. Part of living in America is actually supporting America, or at the very least not try to prevent our brave troops from getting the supplies they need.
