World Notes Iraq Progress, Congress Not So Much

Come on Dems, do what JF Kerry said and pay heed to world opinion:

STOCKHOLM (AFP) — World leaders, including UN chief Ban Ki-moon and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, on Thursday hailed Baghdad's progress in combatting violence and stabilising Iraq.

A declaration adopted by 100 delegations at a Stockholm conference said the participants "recognised the important efforts made by the (Iraqi) government to improve security and public order and combat terrorism and sectarian violence across Iraq."

It also acknowledged political and economic progress made, and said that "given the difficult context, these successes are all the more remarkable."

Emphasis mine. So we have 100 national delegations noting the progress made in Iraq and especially made by the Iraqi government but the Obama folks say that we are making no progress:

Obama spokesman Bill Burton fired back that it was "odd that Sen. McCain, who bought the flawed rationale for war so readily, would be lecturing others on their depth of understanding about Iraq."

Burton said Obama challenged President Bush's rationale for the war "from the start."

"Sen. McCain stubbornly insists on pursuing the failed Bush policy that continues to cost so much, while Sen. Obama believes it's time to begin a deliberate, careful strategy to remove our troops and compel the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future."

It appears they are Mr. Burton, it appears they are.

When the Secretary General of the UN can no longer deny the successes we've had, shouldn't the United States House and Senate? Dare I say the Democrats are being unilateral?

Wait...Nancy Pelosi noticed and gives the credit to...Iran?
