The article you posted is really amazing when you stop to read what it says. The Iraq war started in March 2003......JUST A FEW WEEKS later, this article is already showing the ***childlike, stamp your foot, I want it RIGHT now,*** impatience of the press. ONE MONTH LATER.

In a much larger sense, the actual war was really over in a relative short time. They were right about that. Saddam and his evil sons toppled and leadership changed. We have not had a US Military in control for some time now. Not since before Bremmer. Iraq is being run now by the Iraqis, and with our help.

I actually think much has been accomplished in the less than 3 years since the initial war began....
