Progress In Iraq

I just saw this article on MSNBC.com. Since it was taken from the main stream media, you have to search for the good news in it, but it can be found. US troops have been forced to take back control over security of certain areas of Baghdad.

“To be perfectly honest, they were a little (angry) that we came back into their sector,” said 1st Lt. John Ford of Houston. “It’s getting to a point where they don’t want or need us. It’s unfortunate because we have a lot of assets to bring to the table.”

While Lt. Ford sees this as unfortunate, I see it as progress. A little anger from the Iraqi security forces means they are taking a sense of pride in the job they are doing and the security they provide. We inch closer every day to seeing a free, independent Iraq.
