To the contrary they believe, and recent troop surveys back this up, that our presence there complicates our mission because of the hatred we engender among the Iraqi people. It just seemed to me that you were suggesting that, with the notable exception of Baghdad, things are pretty much going according to plan, and I dont think thats the case.  Just this week a survey of about 100 foreig n policy 
experts revealed the opinion that this thing is an unmitigated disaster. So I am still interested in hearing about who you are reading who is suggesting otherwise.
I did not take that as offensive so all is good. Can you give us a link to that survey you are talking about. I have been unable to find the article about a survey of the Iraq people and if they feel safe so here's what it said. 90% of Iraq's feel safe and are living normal lives but it did state that they did not survey (securtiy reasons) Anabar and one other providence which they said could lower the number to around 75% because they are the most affected ares at this time.
