Wait, things are going well in Iraq? The Surge is fulfilling its intentions? Holy Cow, Cartman!
Gen. David H. Petraeus has decided to reduce the number of U.S. combat brigades in Iraq from 15 to 14 about six weeks earlier than planned, as a result of dramatically lower violence there, Pentagon officials said yesterday.
Underpinning the decision to speed the brigade’s return is a continuing drop in attacks and troop casualties in Iraq, officials said. October had fewer than 1,000 “security incidents” nationwide in Iraq, the lowest monthly number since January 2004, Morrell said.
There were probably more security incidents in Washington, D.C. and Chicago then Iraq.
Let’s see, NY Times, NY Times……nope, no story there!

Nope, just the Washington Post. Thank God for that conservative paper.
