New Study on Iraq Success

[akupetsky]

I don't know if anyone saw this last week, but apparently our efforts in Iraq were helped by a dose of ethnic cleansing.  Has anyone seen any more about this?

Who cares how it has happened unless you have an intense hatred of President Bush?

Wasn't the end goal to get Iraq to a point that the bulk of our troops could come home, we could decrease the amount spent on this war, and the Iraqis could assume full responsibility for their country???

They managed to construe from a bunch of night time satellite photos of lights-off that there was "ethnic cleansing"?  FWIW, ethnic cleansing usually is an extermination campaign, not a re-location.

Bunch of gold paint huffers still out there, amazing the media indulges them.

Well, it does stand to reason that the mass-murdering by Shiite militant death squads would slacken off once you start running out of people to kill.
