Big success going on in Iraq.

Nobody is talking about it, not only military success, but political success as well. Sixty insurgents were killed in an offensive, Al-Qaeda insurgents. One hundred ninety-three have been detained. Seventy-nine weapons caches have been found and captured.

“Also on Monday, the senior US officials in Iraq issued their first statement about the passage Sunday of a law allowing Baath Party officials to return to government, the first of the political benchmarks set by the United States. ‘Passage of this law represents a signal achievement in that Iraqi political leaders have collectively chosen to reform a de-Baathification process that many regarded as flawed, unfair, and a roadblock to reconciliation,’ Gen. David H. Petraeus.”

Of course, none of this is being covered. Folks, I know what I’m talking about when I tell you that the Iraq war will not be an election-year issue, not after the primaries and it’s not even much of one during the primaries.

The more success there is there,
the less news about it there will be.
