The Iranians won't stop unless they are given good enough reasons to stop.

Saying that only their kindness and goodwill made them see the light....instead of the effectiveness of the Iraqi troops......is just a rationalization and bastardisation of reality. The fact that they are providing training and IEDs to be used against Iraqi and US troops who are defending Iraqi territory and innocent civilians in Iraq pretty much puts the cabosh on the image that Iran is an ambassador of goodwill. Iran is the invader now, not the US.

The truth doesn't fit into your political viewpoint because of your inability to accept the realities at hand.

I cannot believe the mentality of some people.......

Some will accept that the surge has been a tremendous success but won't admit the causes....while other refuse to face up to the fact that indeed the surge has proven to be a success. Ether way it shows an inability to admit the truth and admit defeat on their part. Our success means their defeat. Our defeat is a success to them. This thought process is twisted and evil.
I don't support withdrawing mate-I think the surge has been a qualified sucesses-it hasn;t ended the violence and I worry that if troop numbers are drawn down it will return, especally if Iran starts funding again. I'm not partisan either way-I opposed the Iraq war but I support us staying there now, it would be wrong to withdraw (One of the few areas I agree with McCain on).

Theres a lot of factors in the recent sucess, the surge is one of them (a big one) as is the Iranian stepdown, increased Iraqi police numbers, a stronger democratic gov't there, and less support for militants, in particular AQ has alienated many. Whats wrong with saying that?
