I Agree
The Iraqi's in total have a much better understanding of the actual situation and the extent of recent changes than the biased media here is reporting. If it's not as good as the administration tries to portray and they want us out fine. If the Iraqis can't tell we are doing any good then we're not. The press' burying the news of big progress in Basra after trumpeting the early failures in taking on Al-Sadr, along with past falsely rosey pictures from Bush & Co clearly shows we need feedback directly from Iraq.
