The surge is working and we can create stability in Iraq -- so says an editorial in the New York Times!

Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand: We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration's miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily "victory" but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with.

It's from the Brookings Institution which I don't know anything about -- but they sound smart. As the drinker of puppy would say, "Read the whole thing."

As I've long said, we have the greatest military that ever existed and it's perfectly capable of winning conflicts if people back home don't whine so much. Even though we're not getting shot at or asked to make any sacrifice at all, people here in America just can't help but whine. I guess we have whining, bitching, moaning culture. Even so, the military is still very good at shooting bad people. God bless them.
