You mean there's more than just that soccer victory?

Arthur Chrenkoff's impressive Good News from Iraq series is up and worth a read. It is a long list of all the various successes in the new Iraq that, funnily enough, most of the media doesn't seem much interested in. While the Iraqi victory in the Olympic football tournament pool game got plenty of coverage, there seems to be an amazing lack of coverage of improving events on the ground in Iraq itself.

So next time someone mentions the word "quagmire" about Iraq, point them to Arthur's series.

"Good news from Iraq" - drivel from the Bushies written by Ann Coulter and O'Reilly (really?), no doubt. Pull the other one - its got bells on it, mate! Hell in a handbasket more likely!

Obviously you didn't go and read the article then. It's up to you - the fact remains there is plenty of documented good news, not just from "Bushies". That said I have a feeling if Kerry wins suddenly the media will discover much of this good news...
