Default Great news is Iraq

We have picked up another local ally willing to help fight islamotards and promote democracy and freedom and progress seems to be accelerating in Iraq overall as a result of confronting one of the last major problems head on:

Quote:
Rice traveled to Iraq, she said, to promote new Sunni and Kurd support for the U.S. backed Shiite government.

"The head of the Kurdish self-ruled region, Massoud Barzani, has offered Kurdish troops to help fight anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia."

Her main goal is to spotlight what she calls encouraging political signs following the Basra crackdown. Sunni and Kurdish politicians have offered public support to al-Maliki following the operation, and the Bush administration argues he could emerge stronger from what had appeared to be a military blunder.

More significantly, Sunni Arab Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi signed off on a statement by Talabani, a Kurd, and the Shiite vice president, Adil Abdul-Mahdi, expressing support for the crackdown in the oil-rich southern city of Basra.

She said Iraq's Arab neighbors have few remaining excuses for withholding diplomatic and economic support for the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad, now that daily life in Iraq is less deadly and the government has demonstrated resolve against militias.

See that just makes you look crazy. Iraq could turn into a country that loves us and gives us oil for free and the democrats still aren't going to do that.

Call me crazy, but the democrats are like abused puppies. They may seem to be angry, but if you throw the ball for them enough they learn to love you. The democrats are angry because Bush whipped them in Florida, now because of his consistent triumphs and brilliantly run war in Iraq they are falling in love with him. They are at the point that their anger looks idiotic and they know it. Each success in Iraq brings them closer to showing the closeted love for Bush they feel.

could you please explain to us why it was the danger within iraq and the inability of the baghdad government to restrain the militias which prompted the arab neighbors to withhold support
it would seem that if iraq were safe and there was no internal strife due to the militias there would be no NEED for the support of the arab neighbors
in short, rice's comment does not add up
