And this insisting on the few good things looks like a part of that propagandistic endeavour, sounds like a lawyer's targeted question. Are VFP tables 100% safe? Answer with "yes" or "no".

So let me get this straight. Suicide bombings and IED explosions are news but positive stories are propoganda? C'mon!

Besides, as I've said, there are more than a few. There are dozens of stories every day. The tide is turning. Whether or not it takes another turn for the worse is yet to be seen, but in the past year there have been vast improvements.

Formation of new government is finalizing
The Economy has doubled prewar growth
Reconstruction efforts are noticibly improved
There are more schools now then prewar
Iraqi Security Forces have taken over 50% of the country with eyes on 75% by the end of the year
Nearly all children in the country have been innoculated

Every day there are more:
insurgents/terrorists killed
weapons caches found and destroyed
Iraqis signing up for the police and military
Iraqis tipping off security forces to insurgent activities
