NY Times reporting on Kurds seemingly getting screwed once again by USA (recall first time by Bush Sr.), portraying an already-fragile and fracturing governmental transition process. Then I read of Bremer barring Sadr from political involvement, as Sadr’s popularity continues to grow. Then the USA Today reports that the Marines are stretched razor thin in Iraq, with a general stating he’s “not sure” how things will go in 2005.

Do I dare say the above sounds less than reassuring that the Iraq situation sounds like it’s getting any better? Conservatives complain that we’re not hearing about all of the good news over there (liberal media bias) – can someone send some examples?
