It appears, that despite the pronouncements of desperate Democrats and scared Republicans, that there is a plan for handing over control of the Iraq over to the Iraqi Army. You can read all about it
here.

I would guess that this agreement has been in the works for a number of weeks, but hasn’t been giving much press. Also, two days ago I saw a story on CNN about how bad the violence in Iraq has been since May, but failed to mention that since a strategic change in August, there has been a significant drop in deaths in Iraq.

I’m not accusing the media of left leaning bias per se, but it seems that a sort of “group think” has set in with the media and the “experts” in proclaiming Iraq as continually getting worse with no sign of improvement. This new agreement with Iraq and the success of the strategy change in August indicates that failure, despite the Democrats’ biggest wish, is not inevitable.
