Iraq Yardstick

How are things going in Iraq? The barometer I use is reports from the troops over there and coming back from there. The way I see it, if there was wide-spread dissatisfaction with how things were going, some sizeable minority of our military would be bitching about things and the liberal media would be focused on it like they were on Abu Gharib. That is not what I hear from the military. All the negatives are from democrat politicians and other Bush haters such as the main stream media.
