Bush takes the blame for everything that goes wrong in Iraq. It's "his" war, the Democrats say. And the mainstream media portray the normal setbacks of any war as a "setback for the administration."
So when the NY Times reports that Sadr's murderous militia has been disbanded — you know, the one that has made political reconciliation so difficult — that's good news, no?
Mr. Sadr’s aides declared an unequivocal end to all militia operations. Ahmed al-Shaibani, the chief of Mr. Sadr’s media office in Najaf, confirmed that this `includes suspending the taking up of arms against occupiers,' a reference to American-led coalition troops."
I await the headline: "Sadr weakened thanks to Bush's steadfastness in Iraq"
And I'll be waiting a long time — like forever.
