Peaceful Fallujah? Yes

Posting is light today because I'm having another bad back day. The following is the kind of story that we as bloggers need to make sure get told and copies need to be sent to Congressional offices.

FALLUJAH PACIFIED

FALLUJAH THEN (above); FALLUJAH NOW (below).



More news that suggests the situation in Iraq is not as dire as Carl Levin and Charlie Rangel seem to think:

The Iraqi city of Fallujah, which two years ago was the site of one of the fiercest battles between insurgents and Americans, has become a stabilized safe haven. In fact, the city, termed “a gated community” by one of the Marine commanders responsible for it, is receiving as many as 150 people per day seeking to escape the ongoing violence in Baghdad.

This news was reported by the Marine Corps Times. Why not the New York Times? Because it doesn't fit the New York Times' support for the "insurgency." (Hat tip: AJ Strata.)

The Marine Corps Times has also reported that some areas in Iraq are havens for terrorists and that U.S. forces have given up on them.

The situation in Iraq is a disaster. The sooner we realize that, the more likely we are to fix it.
