Definately positive news after the earlier stuffups, mistakes and missteps.

General David Howell Petraeus was the right man for the job.

If Paul Bremer and Donald Rumsfeld had been sacked a long time ago as they should have been then Petraeus wouldn't have had such a mountainous task and more importantly perhaps so many brave soldiers and Iraqi civilians wouldn't have had to die in the first place.

I for one feel that things in Iraq are close to turning the corner for the better. However the political side of the equation has made little progress by comparison. It's still wait and see in my view.
