I don't think this discussion will go anywhere. In certain parts of the country things are going very well and the Iraqi people seem to be really grateful to the US. In others IEDs and mortar attacks are a daily occurance. Since my statement has added nothing to the discussion I'll take it back.

What I also find interesting is that this is the statement Perry and you jumped on. Neither of you acknowledged the positive stories I again brought to your attention. In fact you both snipped them out of your replies.

Perry:
In your case it seems to be that you refuse to see anything good in Iraq. It seems like you want Iraq to become an unmitigated disaster and you refuse to acknowledge any news that looks at the positive accomplishments. I do not understand this mentality. Is it purly politics for you? Anything for a Democratic party win?
