Can Bush get credit for this great develoment in Iraq?

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.
