Surprising levels of optimism prevail in Iraq with living conditions improved, security more a national worry than a local one

very interesting and informative read

Yeah, the where the militias have control and the US aren't.

Why do libs hate good news from Iraq?

'Dec. 12, 2005 - Surprising levels of optimism prevail in Iraq...'

That was before 100 Iraqis per day were being killed.

You should have found an article from 2003. Then, there was real optimism.

Do you have any good news from Iraq?

So the news from Iraq was optimistic in Dec of 2005? Who could have known? Here we have a story from a time when all leftists asserted that all was lost. Yet now we find that it wasn't according to the Iraqi people. So what are we to make of the news today? Completely negative without so much as a hint of anything positive. Just like it was less than a year ago. The poster's article proves that the news in the past was slanted. Why would it be any different today all of a sudden? Of course, the question is rhetorical, the news today is as unreliable from the left-wing press as it ever was. But just keep at with the irresponsible rhetoric. Maybe you can lie and undermine the nation at war for political gain and succeed this November. What do you stand to gain personally? A bigger welfare check? Gay marriage?

Not from the left. You've been nay saying from day one. Hoping like hell that everything goes south, and doing everything in your power to see to it that it does. So spare us your BS. It doesn't wash.

So ABC News lies to people. Thanks for the admission dumb ass. Thanks for the admission...

Illiterate public school dolt. Just the way the democrats want you.

Iraqis who have seized their inalienable right to bear arms and form militias have no problems with their own security. Iraqis falling for the Bush love in with liberal Democracy, are still waiting for the US Iraqi Army to get up to strength. You Bush supporters think you support some rightwing turd, but fact is you are banging for a communist christian, a communitarian. The Christo Communist arm of the Republician party controls the MSM, the Whitehouse and Congress and now has declared war on fascist religion.

' There's other evidence of the United States' increasing unpopularity: Two-thirds now oppose the presence of U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq, 14 points higher than in February 2004. Nearly six in 10 disapprove of how the United States has operated in Iraq since the war, and most of them disapprove strongly. And nearly half of Iraqis would like to see U.S. forces leave soon. '
