Quotable

Posted by Bill

"I've never been more optimistic than I am right now with the progress we've made in Iraq. The only people who are going to win this counterinsurgency project are the people of Iraq. We've said that all along. And now they're coming forward in masses." -- Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch.

I'm maintaining my "cautious" qualifier. Show me a couple more months of data and we'll upgrade the celebration.

UPDATE: Also note this ground-up reconciliation event:

The Sheiks Conference Center's grand opening took place Oct. 18 near Taji, with sheiks of many tribes, Iraqi Police, Army, security volunteers, government representatives and troops of the 1st "Ironhorse" Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, gathering with one common goal - reconciliation.
