Friday's good news from Iraq

Another successful raid by U.S. forces vs the terrorists in eastern Baghdad.

Everybody keeps looking for political advances in Iraq. Here's one--the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have completed the building of two courthouses in northern Iraq's Kirkuk province. These have been turned over to Iraq's government and will aid in the continuing construction of a judicial system based on law and order. This goes to show how advances in military security can bring political advances.


A CNN poll shows that 47% of Americans now believe we're making progress in Iraq--a significant uptick.

A Democratic congressman, who voted against the Iraq invasion in 2002, recently visited Iraq and argues that progress is being made there.
