Today's Good News From Iraq

Yesterday, we all probably heard different numbers thrown out about what the Iraqis think of America's presence in their country, how the war is going, etc. It appears to me that there were 2 polls taken, one with a sample of 5,000 and another of 2,200. The numbers are slightly different. While the numbers may be easy to understand in and of themselves, it is the motivation behind them that makes it them deeply complex and incapable of being summarized in a news clip. How they are spun by the media is sad.

Regardless of which poll you prefer, the message is positive. The Iraqis want to have control of their country. And that's what my husband is there to do.
