Iraqi Progress

I'd post excerpts, but it would be too volumnous. Suffice to say that LTC Tim over at CPT Patti gathers, excerpts and summarizes a lot of news on the Iraqi handover progress. Things from ATC handoff from the Aussies, to Baghdad talk radio, to police/coalition interactions during firefights (the coalition is making the police take on a greater load). Check it out.

And because it bears repeating, check out an excerpt from the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act, signed by former President Clinton into law:

It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.

To the defeatists who want America out of Iraq: Did we just take a memory break? Your good ol' boy, Clinton, got over on Saddam as much as Dub. The only difference? One administration acted. One didn't.

Good stuff, Tim!
