Process--Not Puppet

After the much lamented delay in the provincial election law that our Left exploited to argue for retreating now, the Iraqis have passed the legislation:

Iraq's presidential council has withdrawn its objection to a provincial elections law. The announcement on the fifth anniversary of the war gives a major boost to U.S.-backed efforts to promote national reconciliation.


So October 1st elections should take place and bring the Sunnis fully into the democratic system.

But our Left will seize on something else to argue for retreat and defeat. They're tenacious that way.
