SURGE GETS HIGH MARKS IN BAGHDAD

Story notes “From this base in insurgent country south of Baghdad, there are no doubts that the U.S. decision to pour 30,000 additional troops into the fight has had an effect.” (FOX News)

As expected, the Los Angeles Times’ top story on Iraq was negative. (LA Times)

From Barone: Efforts to undercut a positive Petraeus assessment are underway, such as a pessimistic draft of a Government Accountability Office report on political progress leaked to the Washington Post last week. But Democratic leaders today don't have the huge majorities they had in 1975 when they blocked the Air Force from repelling the communist invasion of South Vietnam. They may persist in proclaiming that the surge isn't working. But the facts seem to be framing the issue another way. (Townhall)
