Probably worth looking at the larger picture once in a while.
Even the Bush Administration is giving up - no WMDs, no "democracy", no stability. Why do people insist that it's going well?
These reports are a bit like saying the lobster on the Titanic was great, the service beyond reproach, the linens the finest quality, and the Captain and crew think it's the best ship ever.
(By the way, the thing sank as fast as an Iraqi constitution. Even if the lobster was good, etc., the voyage was a disaster.)
