Let's see...there's Levin, D - Mich....

We have seen indications that the surge of additional brigades to Baghdad and its immediate vicinity and the revitalized counter-insurgency strategy being employed have produced tangible results in making several areas of the capital more secure. We are also encouraged by continuing positive results — in al-Anbar Province, from the recent decisions of some of the Sunni tribes to turn against Al Qaeda and cooperate with coalition force efforts to kill or capture its adherents.

There's Durbin D - Ill and Casey D - Penn

Mr. Durbin and Senator Casey, a Democrat of Pennsylvania, have acknowledged recent military progress

There are others, and there are various democrat advisors who acknowledge it is working as well. You'll note the link above are from August. I have no doubt there is a strategy party wide for the dems since then that says they are not allowed to publically acknowledge progress.

Yeah, I'll post this juicy one from Clinton, too (note it is from August as well)-

"It’s working. We’re just years too late in changing our tactics,” she said.

Good news!

Pelosi has apparently come to her senses and figured out that putting troops in danger is not the way to go about troop withdrawals. She has tabled her Turkish genocide resolution.


Not so good news.

Of course Turkey has already taken advantage of the rift in relations to approve action against the Kurds in northern Iraq. So we can look forward to more war in that part of the world soon.

Mark my words and the day I said them....

Mike Huckabee will win the GOP nomination for President.

You are now free to laugh at me.

I won't laugh, at least not out loud. I don't want to get Kung-Fu'ed.

[Strangler Lewis]

I've already said it, so I won't laugh.

This doesn't mean he should win or deserves to win. But I think he will win.

Richardson v. Huckabee.
