RE: Iraq war

Comment comment by LordDilly on 15 February 2008

This will come as a shock to all of you "We are losing in Iraq because the experts at Berkeley who are not in Iraq say so" crowd, but a Surge skeptic- in fact, the Surge skeptic who has, y'know, been to Iraq recently has this to say:

No one can spend some 10 days visiting the battlefields in Iraq without seeing major progress in every area. A combination of the surge, improved win and hold tactics, the tribal uprising in Anbar and other provinces, the Sadr ceasefire, and major advances in the use of IS&R have transformed the battle against Al Qaida in Iraq. If the US provides sustained support to the Iraqi government -- in security, governance, and development -- there is now a very real chance that Iraq will emerge as a secure and stable state.

That must be his problem-- spending ten days in Iraq, when everybody knows only those in Berkeley who have either never set foot in-country or haven't in years are the ones who actually know what's going on.
