Major Political Progress in Iraq Goes Unnoticed by Mainstream Media

 Recently we have heard unofficial reports that General Petraeus’ report would show military gain in Iraq and very little political progress. With Democrats having to concede that the surge is working they are hanging their fortunes on the fact that little has been accomplished politically. They will use this as their new excuse for reason to surrender in Iraq. They need little or no political progress in order to keep up their we must surrender rhetoric. Perhaps that is why the recent political breakthrough in Iraq is getting so little coverage by the oh-so-willing-to-go-along-with-the-Democrats main stream media.

“These leaders … recognize the true and meaningful reconciliation that needs to take place,” Bush said in a brief statement upon his arrival at Albuquerque. “They recognize this is a process. Yesterday’s agreement reflects their commitment to work together for the benefit of all Iraqis to further the process.”

He said their action “begins to establish new power sharing agreements.”

The Iraqi leaders said they agreed on some issues that the U.S. has set as benchmarks for progress, among them holding provincial elections, releasing prisoners held without charge and changing the law preventing many former members of Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party from holding government jobs and elected office.

  Funny how that works, isn’t it. Read the rest here.
