Some good news that the Media didn't bother with I see. If its not failing, or blood in guts over there, then no news.

But subman, to report good news would mean things are going well over there, and nobody can acknowledge that anything good is happening over there!

It should be noted that this was a White House assessment

"The White House sees the progress in a particularly positive light, declaring in a new assessment to Congress that Iraq's efforts on 15 of 18 benchmarks are "satisfactory"—almost twice of what it determined to be the case a year ago."

It is in the best interest of the administration to interpret the benchmarks in the best possible light for political purposes.

Has this information been confirmed from other than White House sources? Are there any dissenting assessments?
