The words of General David Petraeus to his troops...
"The way ahead will not be easy. There will be difficult times in the months to come. But hard is not hopeless, and we must remain steadfast in our effort to help improve security for the Iraqi people. I am confident that each of you will fight with skill and courage, and that you will remain loyal to your comrades-in-arms and to the values our nations hold so dear.
In the end, Iraqis will decide the outcome of this struggle. Our task is to help them gain the time they need to save their country. To do that, many of us will live and fight alongside them. Together we will face down the terrorists, insurgents, and criminals who slaughter the innocent. Success will require discipline, fortitude, and initiative — qualities that you have in abundance."
He and his approach is making a difference. So why do very few MSM outlets refer to the successes? Why do they want him to fail? It has been said that is all about the left winning the next election and they can't recede from that goal not matter what. It has also been said that the left's extreme hatred for GW is what drives them. But, I think that it is something else that drives this "group think" and it is much more sinister.
